With Michael Clarke being stripped of the captaincy gig and the Cute XI left in disarray, the latest Hottie Elect – Daniel Vettori was more than welcome to step up to the plate.
Paddlesweep came under fire recently for selecting Daniel Luca Vettori as its new captain but there are more than enough reasons why this is the man for the job. Vettori is the cool and calm kind. I don’t think I have ever seen him angry other than that time in England when the Predator (Ryan Sidebottom) collided with the South African (Grant Elliot). He likes to promote himself up the order and then deliver the goods.
It was surprising when he put himself up to number six that the New Zealanders weren’t actually told to throw their wickets just so that he can prove that he made the correct decision. Vetori is also part of one of the very elite cricket clubs, he has over 300 wickets and over 3000 runs, that’s apparently pretty cool.
The geeky look is pretty hot. Somebody on the old blog once got lead to a smilar post to this one because they wanted to know what kind or brand of glasses he wears. I didn’t know then and haven’t bothered to find out. All that matters is that he looks damn fine in them. And the scruffy beard well, that just says “I’m a little naughty but only when I use my computer game time to look at some porn.”

….of the Cute XI.
The cricketing world was shocked on Wednesday morning when the news broke that Michael Clarke had been sacked as captain of the Cute XI.
The news came following poor grammar usage on the popular social networking site Twitter where Pup used the term “would of” instead of “would have”. It is believed that his poor grammar has been caused by the Bingle effect. Something which has plagued many sportsmen in recent years.
Owner of the Cute XI Ms. Pr1nt remained rather hushed about proceedings.
“It’s a sad thing to do, and he’ll obviously still be in the team but I just can’t keep him on as the captain,” Pr1nt said in an official interview with Paddlesweep.net.
“Poor grammar is really not acceptable – especially silly mistakes like the of instead of have,” Pr1nt added.
It was revealed that Daniel Vettori will replace him but no further details have been made available yet.
Ps. To regular reader Tifosiguy – I am not ignoring you. I am just pretending that Sunday did not happen.

There is something they say about premonitions. You don’t realize them as strongly as an intuition.
Why do I say that? Well, about a week ago, I was participating in a draft selection game in which you had to forge an all time ODI XI. It was the later rounds, and by that time all the known stars have gone. I was in need of someone who could whack the ball, as all the specialists were in place in my team.
Mark Greatbatch came to mind. That was the premonition.
This is the outcome.
He is the new coach. The new guy who would call Vettori ‘boss’.
Let’s hope he is as aggressive as coach as he was as a batsman. Boy, won’t we love some aggression from coaches in this robotic world.

He looks a bit like the tattooed bad boy your mother would hate and your father would ban you from seeing. And some times he is, some times when he bats properly and doesn’t fail at the top of the order. McCullum can also be a bit arrogant and he does a good job at looking unhappy, like most cricketers.
But he’s a pretty good keeper. He has vision that some keepers don’t. No matter how he good he is on any given day though, he’s damn hot. And he makes waking up at 00:00 worth it. As long as he is behind the stumps.And doesn’t speak.
He won’t be the keeper of my AP XI though, oh no. He doesn’t fit that role quite to my satisfaction. The problem is that the wicketkeeping role is usually reserved for the hot cricketer. You could probably have a whole XI made up out of hot keepers.
He’s not a very good captain, just ask Kolkata Knight Riders. But he does hold the highest score for a batsman in any T20 match. 158 not out. It’s not quite The Great BCL’s 400* but it’s pretty good shit for a hit and giggle gig.
Yum. Oh, baby blue, such a lovely colour on you.
