equatorSportsfreak makes the first attempt at winning a signed copy of the year of the balls 2008: a disrespective. If you think you can do better in 200 words or less tell us how cricket with balls is ruining cricket.
World cricket faces a lot of troubles at the moment, and wherever you look there is the shadowy hand of Jrod making it worse.
Lack of knowing where the future lies
Jrod covers it all. IPL, Ashes, even NZ test cricket and other test series that no-one else really cares about, as well as bloody county cricket. Where’s the leadership there?
The India v Australia spat
Yup, there he is, stirring away; alternating in which side to demonise.
Lack of respect for authorities
The ICC, BCCI, Sutherland, Ponting, Tony Greig and umpires all get the blowtorch. And if that’s not enough, he also sticks it to the Great Modi himself
Sledging, vilification, cheating
3 ticks there.
No player privacy
We never tire of the Slater shagging Gilly’s wife jokes. But really, what about the children?
Lack of respect for ICC Rankings
They’re not there for nothing, you know…
Blatant needless commercialism
Even the ICC hasn’t thought of giving away something for free for a year before wrapping it in a snot-coloured cover and trying to sell it off to the faithful.

who needs two hundred words to describe the disastrous effect good ole uncle j rod has had on cricket? i can do it in three
darren ‘eyelids’ patterson (i’m not even english, and i know how bad that is)
in fact, there has been a horrible proliferation of victorian cricketers playing internationally (i mean, dirty dirk at holland? wtf?)
the rise of uncle j has coincided with the rise of victorian cricket, and (coincidently? i think not) the fall of australian cricket
and don’t think he doesn’t know it – the bastard fled the country
now he writes from a ship moored off england in international waters (i imagine) where he can impune the good name of the ICC at leisure, surviving on a diet of twenty20 KFC meals a day, and ricky ponting brand (TM) vitamin supplements (just to be healthy).
