Australian cricketers have it really tough

Being an Aussie cricketer has always been pretty tough. The governing body has always had some wierd things that their players have had to put up with: they have made them have huge tashes, accept a Queenslander as captain, bat until they are so sick they shit their pants and drink so much between Sydney and London that the plane runs out of beer - amongst other things - but nothing is quite so bad as what the current cricketers put up with.

Australia's current contracted players have had to have a mean dwarf for a captain; a pretty boy for a vice captain; moronic selectors; they've had to hand the biggest prize in cricket over to the most boring man to ever adorn an England shirt; they've worn horrible cream blazers, which were meant to be an award; they've had to get their gear off and pose in front of a camera just so sad women - not unlike myself - can adorn their walls with their pot bellies and moobs all year round ... and now this ...


Don't let anybody tell you anything different - these are the reasons that Roy went fishing.

You know what, my first thought was "OMG, Glenns dressed up in Drag!!! Awesome!".


Then I realised it was the pink caps you were referring to, and I shuddered.

I thought McGrath must have grown some repulsive face fuzz. Anyway, the Pakistan team looked no better in them.

What is it with the Aussie team? We already know they can't handle the ball that moves off the seam or swings at all, do they have to keep convincing us?

Punter needs to be gently persuaded, possibly by a Katich hand around the throat, that EVERYONE knows that the pull shot is his weakness now. That's why they set him up for it, as like a little lamb to the slaughter, off he goes. His ego will take a battering but it has to be done.

Ponting's ego never seems to take a battering, no matter how much we want it to - he just lays blame somewhere, and usually in the wrong place.
