Q of Well Pitched fame has come up with his 200 words or less on how cricket with balls is ruining cricket. He is now in the running to win a signed copy of the year of the balls 2008: a disrespective. Do you have 200 words or less in you?

1. It swears.

2. It calls the cricketers names that even they would not have heard through sledging on the field.

3. It gives cricketers nick-names that they don’t like.

4. It discloses the personal sex lives of cricketers – or rather takes it a step forward by describing how they are in bed!

5. It denounces Cricinfo, the unofficial bible of cricket on the web.

6. It inspires blogs like the Fake IPL Player – we all know how Fake has ruined the lives of many a cricketer and commentator.

7. It promotes plagiarism – Its overwhelming to see how many other cricket blogs try so hard to be like it.

8. It tells the world wrong facts about the Ashes without thinking that there are kids out there who may believe it.

9. If there is a mutiny against any cricket authority – it will lead it!

10. It promotes drinking games where the risk of dropping dead drunk is high – I mean a gulp for every DLF Maximum? It couldn’t be more injurious to health!

11. If it were made to head CA, Victoria will be the new Australia!

12. Even after reading this, it will not change!

    Isn’t this supposed to be how CWB is ruining cricket. Nothing here but positives!
