By Guest Blogger Uncle J Rod, the ballsiest blogger in the milky way

  1. Thou shalt not use reason, you are not a journalist, you are a blogger, be as unreasonable as you need to be.
  2. Respect thy domestic competition, but do not make love to it.
  3. Thou shalt always be willing to fall in love with a cricketer, no matter what his ethnicity is, or how much he kills your country, conversely feel free to hate cricketers from your own country.
  4. All blogs were created equal, but then page rankings took over, so link up fool.
  5. Idolize your favourite cricketer, not like they are God, but like they are way cooler than God.
  6. On the seventh day, take the piss, even a serious cricket blog needs a day when you just sit back and take the piss.
  7. Thou shall look outside the big three, reach beyond India, England and Australia, you will find things happen in other countries as well.
  8. Feel free to bag the ICC at all times, will never lose you fans my son.
  9. Do not use carven images, use Google images of sexy cricket shots.
  10. And remember, if you can’t say anything nice, say something with such vitriol that people are afraid to meet you in real life
