India put Bangladesh on a rack and summarily beat them for daring to play test cricket.
I discovered that Siddique is damn sexy and think the Indians should have more respect.
Graeme Smith got careless and misplaced both his coach and his selection panel right before a test series against India in India. Pretty shite timing, Biff.
In case you missed it (I was trying to shield you from the pain but have decided that if I have to suffer, so do you), the Bloody Vics won the Big Bash. You can laugh at me now, but you'll all have to see them in the CLT20 again later this year and the pain won't be lessened by the appearance of the Blues this time. It'll be Graham Manou and the South Australians instead.
Teutonic thug with dodgy elbows Cam White hinted that he could be the next Shane Warne and, thankfully, was ignored. And then Punter held him down while My Lord bit his middle finger and tore his thumbnail, so he'd know what it's really like to be a spinner.
I paid Pup a wad of cash to poison the people of Brisbane. He owes me some money because they are all still standing (including Ry the Not-Jimmeh).
In the U-19 world cup, Aussie captain Mitchy Junior got 97 as they beat Sri Lanka on their way to the final. They will play Pakistan in the final on Saturday.
And finally, I discovered the following things about my new love, the Deccan Chargers:
- Along with Gilly and Fisherman Roy, the Chargers also have Ry the Not-Jimmeh, Hershy, Scotty Styris and Dwayne Smith.
- They are coached by former Aussie batsman, racist git and South Aussie legend Darren Lehman.
- They will play the first match of the IPL, on March 12, against Punter's former side KKR.
- And - and this is the most exciting bit - that they have a team anthem, which I can sing very loudly every time that woman comes into the library. It's very catchy, have a listen here:
And in a slightly different, and possibly more disturbing, turn of events, analytics informed me that someone came across my blog by googling "chris broad children" and quite a few people came across it by googling "naked brett lee".
Make of that what you will.

yea Mitchy was good.. close match! :|
You've stolen the Deccans from me. I originally chose them as a team because of Gilly (obviously) and Laxman. Imagine in your wildest dreams having those two open the batting together. Only Laxman was banished down the order as it was a wild dream too far.
I crazily sat up to watch that bloody U19 match. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about Mitchell Jnr. So I thought I'd just watch him bat a few overs but then he wouldn't get out unlike every other top 6 batsmen so I watched the whole thing!
He was playing in a different game to everyone else in the match. He looked relaxed, controlled, stylish and with so much time to play shots he could have rung Caffe Nero and asked for a macchiato, had it couriered to him, drunk it and still pulled the ball to the boundary.
I am not just joining the bandwagon, but I've got my shoulder against the boot and I'm shoving hard.
It was close, wasn't it? Not sure the Aussies can take the Stanis in the final, but it should be a good one. How long before the Vics or the Blues nick Mitchy from us, do you think?
Maybe you can have Deccan back, Lou - if I get involved in Paddlesweep's little IPL blog game, I have to report on one team and Deccan is already gone. So is KKR and RCB ... hhhmmm, will have to do some research here.
Still going all Gilly when that woman comes in the library though.
It was an excellent game. I thought the Sri Lankan's bowling was impressive as was their fielding.
He may not leave to go East, his brother hasn't and I would think he is well and truly on the CA radar for the future, he shouldn't have to go to NSW just to get a Baggy Green.
It's true he is a Marsh and that generally means west aussie through and through. Hope we don't lose him.
Looking forward to the final.
Did you just call Siddique sexy?? I need to introduce you to some Bangladeshi men!
We the chargers also have Roach and Fidel( doubtful for this season)
and do have a look at this

Well, Aditya, it turns out I will have to share my time and thoughts between the Chargers and the Chennai Superkings. If anyone reads Paddlesweep, you'll know why. If you don't, all will soon become clear.
Still going to set the Chargers theme as my ring tone and play it every time that woman comes in though.
