cricket with balls

Who wants a result, with want a sphincter tightening finish like that.

“I don’t get cricket, 5 days and then no result”.

Stick that up your 5 days and no results.

Note to all future Ashes series, start like this, or fuck off.

Everyone can be happy.

Australia have flexed their muscles, spun the ball, and shown England that they need to step the fuck up.

England have saved the day, Jimmy and Montybot know how Fidel Edwards feels, they aren’t down in the series and Colly has some form on him.

England went within one wicket of an innings loss, yet Jimmy Anderson pumped his hand like a guy who’d just slept with Natalie Portman.

Uncontrolled illogical emotion.

   I’ve written about the ‘draws are boring’ people as well (for tomorrow).

   Those people are ignorant dicks who don’t know what they’re missing. I’m glad they’re missing out.

   If draws are boring why has my sphincter just divided by zero?

   The physio is on the pitch! The physio is on the pitch!! They must make him wear that flexfit shirt for laffs.

   Seriously, what a dramatic last day, what a nervy final partnership. You could feel Ponting seething afterwards.

   ’step the fuck up’ time, thursday. good times.

   Hear fucking hear. And test match cricket finishing on a Sunday is the way forward – beats the crap out of Songs of Praise.

   I think Peter Siddle’s my new favourite bowler. Rubbish pitch for fast bowling, but he still steams in, bounces the opposition and glares at them like he’s caught them in bed with his mother. All fast bowlers should do this.

   No such thing as bore-draws after that. Can’t remember the last time I’ve been that tense and shouting at the TV. Awesome finish, huge respect to Anderson and Panesar for holding their bottle where the top order couldn’t. Should be a whole lot of batsmen taking a long hard look at themselves this evening.

    It was classic when the 12th man came on – Ponting and the entire Aussie side gave him shit – and then he was joined by the fat Physio! “Anyone need a rub down?” – tremendous!

    Andy, does that make Strauss Australia’s captain, because he was horrible enough for the both of them for the first 4 days.

    I spent two hours looking at the sunshine outside whilst listening to a draw. Funny game for that cricket.

    So… why didn’t he bowl Jonson in the last hour?

    Australia need a wrist spinner

    @Hi;

    Australia’s got a wrist spinner; just that Punter hardly ever bowls him.

    LB, half the time the Krab tells Ponting he doesn’t want to bowl.
