I am not a humble man.

Long time readers will know this.

A humble man wouldn’t claim another man’s triumph, especially with such a tenous claim.

But I delivered a blogging kick up the ass to Brendon McCullum, and now he has made a massive hundred.

You could say it was natural talent, hard work, match fixing, or luck.

I’d prefer to say it was me, maybe not 100%, but at least 87%.

The prince should also be congratulated.

Not as Much as I should, but technically he made the runs, all I did was facilitate the innings with swearing.

This is clearly more proof that i should be coaching the New Zealand cricket team, by not giving me the job they are relegating themselves to years of further mediocrity.

If I can inspire a hundred from my computer, what could I get Brendon to do in person, the first player to make a triple hundred in a one dayer, perhaps?

We won’t know unless the kiwis give me the job, the balls is in their court, metaphorically and literally.

Well played, Brendon, well blogged, Jrod.

    I was just about to get on and say that you were solely responsible for his ton tonight.

    I’ll say it’s 87% jrod, 1% Baz, and 12% match-fixing bookies.

    Genius!!!! Un-fuckin-believable… This ton is a tribute to all the bull shit you’ve been writing all these years…

    db, i’d take that.

    abhishek, there should be more tributes to bullshit.

    Class Jrod. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw what he’d got. Still, look how long he dined out on the IPL knock. Your real claim can only come if he makes another within the next what – six games?

    @Uncle JRod

    Absolutely… Insha Sehwag, there would… And its simple…All you need to do is, spank the ass of one of CWB sons before a match in which he’ll have to oblige…. How bout Sehwag for the next ODI… I’ve been dying to watch Sehwag launch a sexual assault on Hauritz…

    I tried to rule out match fixing as the reason for the ton, but after seeing Styris take 3 wickets, including Afridi for a golden duck, the innings starts to smell a little fishy

    I want in on the credit too. I just told somebody last week that he was over hyped and will soon be forgotten if he doesn’t deliver. He clearly has super hearing.

    It was good blogging power, but not magical blogging power Jrod. A hundred for Ian Bell – now THAT would be magical blogging power

    One day Pakistan will lose a match and people will say “Pakistan lost a match.” Or even “The other team won a match”.

    Yes, the Gul dismissal looked a little suss but the match was well and truly gone by then, so it can’t have been (unless it was a lower-level wager)

    But for amusement value, check out the Styris run out.
