….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.

Aww :( he has that geeky look that I so love in boys. He is old but still looks so innocent and I just want to totally corrupt him.

I’m surprised you didn’t strip him off the captaincy when he started following Paris Hilton.
