Meanwhilst in Australia

December 19, 2010

Greg Chappell has remarked that the only reason for them not sacking Ricky Ponting is because there is no other guy around to captain this team. In completely unrelated news, Pup has asked the Social Media Agency that represents him to start drafting a resignation letter. It must not be noted that model Lara Bingle [...]

Why I’d shag Shane Warne

December 13, 2010

“Eeeuw, repulsive!” I hear you cry. Maybe. But there are legitimate reasons for shagging Shane Warne and the Hurley bird is not the only one who can catch the Warne. I’d tap that, totally. The thrill of it. I’m a Saffa, he’s an Aussie. I’m an inherent rebel and shagging any Aussie would go against [...]

The PaddleShopper: Give that man a Beer!

December 10, 2010

Australia’s selectors have sprung a major surprise by naming the little-known spinner Michael Beer in their 12-man squad for the Perth Test. I’m sure that wasn’t what Ricky meant when he said… “Strewth, I need a beer”.

The PaddleShopper: KP, the not so silent Ashes Assassin

December 7, 2010

Love him or loathe him, KP is back. In one innings and with one ball before the close of play, he dealt a killer-blow deep into the heart of Australia. He is PaddleSweep’s Official Ashes Assassin.

Vindication, England edition

November 28, 2010

Yesterday, I wrote about what England needs to do to save or win this test match. Mostly, it revolved around 8 hours of batting and I was pretty optimistic about their chances given this Aussie bowling attack and this not being the first day pitch anymore. Turns out I was right. England are 300 odd [...]

what england need to do

November 27, 2010

Bat. Just bat till the fat lady sings. Show the world the character we keep talking about. There are 10 wickets still left, and all the odds are stacked against them. Even the staunchest of supporters would see the writing on the wall. I refuse to see that. I see two ways for this match [...]

A newbie’s guide to The Ashes

November 24, 2010

The Ashes? What’s that? It’s a Test series between England and Australia. A five-match Test series. A cricket Test match is that thing that lasts a whole entire five  days and sometimes don’t even produce a result (ridiculous, right?). The trophy is the smallest trophy in cricket. It’s bigger than Kevin  Pietersen’s brain and  much [...]

How to stay awake during the Ashes

November 24, 2010

No matter where you are in the world, Australia is pretty much at the ass end of the world. So, when the Ashes are being played in Australia, we are all rather inconvenienced because of the whole time difference thing that interferes with that whole sleep thing which is vital for that whole work thing.

It’s bad when Warne feels sorry for you, poor KP!

November 23, 2010

Poor little KP. He has had such a terrible year. Poor little KP has been isolated by the English cricket team. Poor KP is always being picked on. Poor KP, dark clouds follow him no matter where he goes. First in South Africa and now in England. Things have gotten so bad for FIGJAM that [...]
