blurring the line between banter and being a tawt, all hail R Ponting!

March 25, 2011

Let it be known that I am no fan of Ricky Ponting. I’ve disliked him since I first saw those beady little eyes that squint like nervous asshole when he is upset.  I don’t think even Aussies like Ricky. He’s a difficult man to like. He’s arrogant. Australian. Odd looking and tremendously fucking successful. If [...]

I am Yuvi, hear me Roar.

March 21, 2011

In the animal kingdom, big boy animals sometimes have a roar off. They just stand there at roar at each other. Roar, roar, roar until one decides the other one has roared the loudest and the most and he gives way. Yuvraj Singh had a roar off on Sunday…. …with the entire West Indies team. [...]

the proteas are just like ed gein

March 15, 2011

dining with the devil – titans vs cobras pro20

March 10, 2011

t20 is the devil’s game. It’s everything that a good cricket disciple should avoid. Bright colours, flashly clothes, dancers cladded in skimpy attire, advertising, music, slog sweeps and other bastardised shots, pinch hitters and OMG IT’S FUN AND ONLY LASTS FOR FOUR HOURS AT THE MOST.

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 [...]
