equatorSorry to break you out of your Ashes coma, but there are three other test matches going on at the moment.
WI vs. BAN
West Indies have dirty scabby strikebreakers playing for them, and if that isn’t bad enough the one I really wanted to see. Kraigg Brathwaite, isn’t fucking playing.
The scabs are pretty much a West Indies 3rd XI, and they are slightly ahead of Bangladesh, who have to win this game to prove they aren’t’ the genital wart of the cricket world.
PAK vs. SRI
Having lost the last game in a dramatically flamboyant style, Pakistan decided to keep that going and collapse on the first day of the next test as well. 90 runs on the first day of a test match. Special.
Sri Lanka are now looking good for a 2 zip result, and being that their bowling line up looks like decidedly nameless, that is a top effort.
ENG vs. AUS WOMEN
The Australian women were 5/28, and I was ready to go around and punch them all, then they were 6/257 and I was quite happy.
England are now 5/120 with a lot to do, but have a 60 run partnership going. A women’s test is a special thing, as they are lucky to play one a year.
NED vs. CAN
Netherlands are playing Canada as well, in what I assume is called the Dirty Dirk Davison cup. Had I known about this series I would have sponsored it. Although if I did, I would have spent months trying to work out what to call it.
The Cricket With Balls Trans-Atlantic shit fight, perhaps…
Dirty Dirk’s name is not in the Netherland side. He is not playing county cricket as well. Where is he?
Sri Lanka vs Pak…I seriously don’t understand what went wrong with Pakistan today! The first time I’m actually watching test matches from start to finish, and they do this to me.
He is skiing, I assume.
“The scabs are pretty much a West Indies 3rd XI, and they are slightly ahead of Bangladesh, who have to win this game to prove they aren’t’ the genital wart of the cricket world.”
Ha! That’s a pointless rant. I have heard this for upteenth time. Either you set up the criteria for playing test cricket and decide on Bangladesh’s status or stop discouraging the kids. If you criticize every time a child falls down, it will never learn to walk.
The Bangladesh side is also not playing their first XI. Remember the 13 players banned for signing for IPL? Well the good news is they have come back. They will be allowed to play from Dec ‘09. Don’t expect much from them, but there is always the scope for something better. And that’s what the status of Bangladesh is.
Would you question Pakistan’s bundling out for 90 against SL? Its a game.

England Chicks are 5/1. Nice
Moses’s last blog post..KP is a twat
A rant on this blog, never.
If they aren’t playing the first XI (I can only see maybe two ICL players coming into this line up), that is there fault. If Pakistan can play ICL players, Bangladesh can. Who was discouraging the child, not me, I said they had to win to prove they weren’t the wart, and they look like doing so. Nowhere in that line did I mention them losing their test status, I just thought they had to win this match to prove that they aren’t complete shit. I still do, if they lose this match they will have become a farcical rabble, but they look like they are going to win comfortably. I think Pakistan getting bowled out for 90 against one of the best teams in the world is different than losing to a Windies 3rds XI, but maybe I’m wrong.
