Sacrilege. But sometimes, just sometimes, it’s okay to stray. [...]

this is no choking matter

March 8, 2011

Here it is again. The dreaded ‘chokers’ tag has propped up its fat ugly head.  South Africa just can’t seem to escape it, no matter how hard they try. The only antidote for the ‘c-word’ seems to be to never lose a game. Ever. South Africa only have themselves to blame for Sunday’s loss. It [...]

Friday’s Fine Leg: Shiv Chanderpaul

March 4, 2011

Most girls will pull their noses up at the mere thought of this. But not me. Shiv is just lovely. His accent. His cute little face twitching like he has a fly sitting on his nose or he has done too much cocaine. His odd, crab like stance. The fact that his psychotic father used [...]

I got love for you if your name is Sulieman Benn

March 1, 2011

I’ve always been a fan of Sulieman Benn. I mean, how can you not? But yesterday was special. While Chris Gayle was playing a chizzled innings instead of a sledgehammer slogging innings, Benn was planning his attack. If Benn were an animal, he’d be  a honey badger. Honey badgers like to fight with snakes, poisonous [...]
