is this why no one has anything to say anymore? because we are pummeling teams at will and about to become number one for our efforts? no one is rubbish nor objectionable in the team. those waiting for the call are good, and seem like nice chaps as well. so there's not much disagreement there either. i guess one could down a tequila or two in the time it takes to mull over the merits of bopara.
on top of that, Australia are fucking rubbish, so there's no point talking about that either. there's only so much mileage one can get from repeatedly saying they're fucking shit.(admittedly, it might just about get you to fucking Cootamundra.)
oh, and the BCCI and 20-20 are both responsible for india's demise. obvious. nothing more to say.
anything?

Poetry
Kris, am I allowed to put one of James Gooman's poems on here? You know, the one Ash quoted on facebook.

Not cricket
So much to say about the World Cup and I sure as shit am not the person to encapsulate all of that madness.
I'm here for a purely social enquiry...
The Jayhawks are playing Manchester Academy on 4th August. That's the full gang.
Does that come close to ringing any middle-aged bells? Is this relatively close to a good reason to meet up, drink beer and listen to alt-country harmony heaven?
Just thinking out loud...

victory is ours....
Yes....
Victory last night was a massive achievement for all the Fetch'ers. I just wish we'd been together to congratulate ourselves on it. It is pleasing to the core of my being, and, I feel, well, healed...I can now start behaving normally about cricket.
Anyway, to celebrate, let's go back to some older posts:
07/8/09:
"Ian Bell
Whilst for some the jury remains out on Australia's cuntness, the fact that ian bell is a massive twat is like an immutable law of nature and will remain so for all time. When the mountains have crumbled and lizards rule the earth once more, he will still be a little nonsense spouting ginger twat.
My lack of opinion either way about ian bell has ended, by the way."
AND
28/1/09:
"Stuart Broad opts out of the IPL.
Given that he's the only person likely to get a place after Flintoff and Pietersen he's turned down a shit load of dosh. He cited the need to rest up for the ashes.
GOOD LAD!
HE CAN BE THE FIRST TO BE OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED 'NOT A TWAT' BY FETCH. WHO ELSE ISN'T A TWAT? IAN BELL NEEDS TO SCORE ABOUT 700 RUNS IN THE UP-COMING SERIES TO QUALIFY."
Well, in fact, it only needed 350 at 80 to do it. I think that 700 in a series should have a grander title.
"Aus v SA
I was just gearing up for the 4th test, when I noticed that SA v Aus tests - which should surely tell us which of this lot are complete twats as well as world champions - start tomorrow.
Central issues:
1. Phil Hughes - Mark Lathwell or yawn 'the next bradman'? Probably someway between the 'r' of 'or' and the 'y' of yawn.
2. Australia's attack: siddle, bollinger, hilfelhaus, johnson. With 'bryce mcgain' as the 'spinner'?
3. Whether Duminy is great or really great?
4. How many toys ponting will throw out the pram when he realises the worst about 1 and 2?
5. Whether - please - some of the new players will reveal themselves as total toss pots when the pressure is on?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It took a couple of years to witness 4, but the answer was 'lots'. On Hughes - More like the 'L' of Lathwell.
