Rudi's new t-shirt

Cricinfo reported yesterday that the Pakistani players gave Loser Rudi a t-shirt as they left the field, presumably to celebrate it being his last test. You would think it said something nice. It didn't.

I was speaking to Aamer on the phone last night (I like to ring him on occasion and teach him dirty words in English and the real names for girls parts, that type of thing. I'm a humanitarian, really) and, while I was there, I asked him what the t-shirt actually said. He told me they had considered a few options, including "Take Darrell Hair to hell with you, please!" and "Want to see the Aussies lose? Get in line!" but discarded them as being a bit too respectful.

Instead, they went with this one:






He's so blind, he couldn't read what it said.

Hilarious!
But what do we do with the old man now after knowing he gave all his umpiring decisions being partially blind?

The Australians always knew he was giving them partially blind but no one would believe us.

Does it mean he's the second person after Watto we'll have to send to jail then?
Come on, show a bit of mercy Sid, he's an old man.

No, no Sunny. You must never appeal to my nice side. It's so small and quiet, it hates to be disturbed.

Hahahahaha! You've outdone yourself this time Siddy.

And stop indoctrinating innocent Stani boys. I know at first hand that you Aussie sheilas have a habit of this. (I escaped with innocence intact thankfully)

Nice one, Sid. Where do you think this tour leaves us? Frankly I'm worried about our Ashes prospects, though the Indians seem to be having their own 'shit, we're no. 1, we should fuck it up' syndrome - you know, the one previously considered the preserve of the Saffers. Sorry if I'm anticipating a round-up post in the next few days.

Sidthegnomenator said...

You escaped with innocence, Stani ... really?

Adrian, I have been a bit worried about the Ashes for a while now but trying to be all positive. I am hoping we can do ok in India and then go into the match at the Gabba with high confidence levels - but not too high.

eep.

What you trying to say eh? eh?

I'm gonna tell my mum of you...and you aint seen my mum! Doohoohahaha

half-tracker said...

Where can I buy one, Sid? ;)

Sidthegnomenator said...

sadly, HT, this is a one of a kind made especially for Rudi - but if I get that streak, who knows ...?

Stani, I've seen that photo of you - you are only 4 years old, so how scary can your mum be really?

Stani Army said...

Are you trying to say I'm cute? Well I was....time eh?

...and I was 2, not 4 :P

Sidthegnomenator said...

You were 2 in that picture? Then you are a big bugger and I now have concerns about your mum.

Stani Army said...

No I'm not! I'm a skinny little cheeky thing below average height. A lean, mean machine though ;)

I just hope you haven't got an image of me as some huge ugly thing. I swear there's another pic of me on my FB wall ;). See. I have changed a bit since then though...hair and stuff.
