I was having a look at the list of potential IPL players for the next object and there was only one that stuck out, that of the super slogging Canadian Rizwan Cheema.
In the last little while there has been a some buzz about him, mostly because he hits the ball like it slept with his sister.
Luckily the fine non-Arquette like Canadian Cricket site hooked me up with the good shit.
Sure he plays across the line and he has a touch of wild slogger about him, but I am willing to say he is the best thing to happen to Canada since Degrassi Junior high, or the dude in our polls.
Ryan Ten Inches from the Netherlands was also nominated.
The IPL is doing for minnow cricket what the NBA did for Asian basketball and might do more than the ICC ever has.
I considered picking the Dutch team for this world t20 thingy because Australia didn’t have the courtesy to at least put Dirty Dirk Nannes in their top 30 players.
Then Andrew Hilditch dissed Dirk, and it became obvious.
It wasn’t until his name was released for Netherlands that I stated I would be supporting the dutch, and not Hilditch’s ‘a’ team.
At that time i was following the Dutch purely out of spite.
I knew they wouldn’t win a match, and that Australia would do far better in the tournament.
Well fuck me with a sandwich maker, both teams have played one game, and Australia is winless, and the mighty dutch bastards have won.
Take that Australia.
And not only have the Dutch won a game, but they are now far more likely to go further into the tournament than Australia are.
Had Dirk had the misfortune to be selected for Australia, he might have to go home soon, but because he has been picked to play a real team, he might be over here for a bit longer.
Start it with stupid pointless and uncontrollable giant balloons.
Add just enough rain to get rid of any crappy embarrassing opening ceremony.
Then make sure the hosts lose to a team of nobodies (and dirty dirk).
I’ve been to a lot of cricket in my life, but sitting at Lord’s in a crowd of English as the Dutch team chased down the total was the best feeling I have ever had watching a cricket match.
And I have seen test and one day hat tricks, Victorian title wins, Australian world cup wins, and all sorts of other shit like that, but watching a minnow beat England at home in the opening match of the tournament was just fucking amazing.
It was all fucking magical.
And Dirk, he opened the world t20 tournament, and then helped beat the Poms.
What a fucken ending.
Last ball, Broad, me screaming, and then fucking ecstasy.
When I can finally conjure up some words I will explain it better, but to give you an idea, I screamed so hard at the end I almost started throwing up.
I will never forget the feeling watching this game.
The Dutch team has finally been announced, and there is our boy, Dirty Dutch Dirk.
The only other player i know is Essex’s Ryan ten Doeschate, who is a handy all rounder.
This is my team for the world t20 thingy, fuck Australia.
If they don’t want Dirk, I don’t want them.
