The Injury List Cometh

Actually, it seems to be getting a wee bit smaller. Finally.

Here's an update:

Peter Siddle - twinge in the back, possibly caused by excess stress due to large chip on shoulder. Will hopefully make the ODIs in India.

My Blessed Lord - an ingrown toenail probably caused by Graeme Swann and a sharp stick. Should be ready for the tests in India.

TWatson - sulky baby face caused by being shit. Usually remedied by allowing him to bowl against inferior opposition so he thinks he is doing well when he gets wickets. A century can sometimes help as well.

Hilfy - Brett Lee syndrome. Is NOT to be sent to HoCIMP, because no one thinks it's funny (except me).

Ry the not Jimmeh Harris - housemaid's knee. Caused by too much line dancing in his spare time. Is hoping to be ready for the Ashes, but will not make it to India.

Ponting - burnt ears from every bloke and his dog discussing his possible retirement.

Mitchy - a bit scared of Strauss (and is liable to get bitch slapped by his mum at any time).

Brad Hads - achey elbow, caused by elbowing people behind him in queues. Should make it to India for the test series, but may not make it home again.

Mussey - old.

As soon as I know who's off to India, I'll let you know.

Hahaha. Siddle ... oh man is he still alive? Will be funny to see him again after such a long time (if he plays). Just looked at a couple of his pics last night - call me sick - the man is a freak. Wondering how we could ever get used to him ...
Muss will do well, I have faith. The last time he played in India he was simply awesome.
Watto as well btw. Don't remind me of Haddin... it causes this primal rage in me *grrrrrrrrrrrr*
Oh and....

NORRRRRRRTH!

Cheers,
Wes

True Sid, I don't follow Aussie cricket that closely but Siddle's disappearance for such a long while surprised me. Why are so many of the younger guys getting injured?
I think Punter's, Watto's and Hussey's cases are to be worried about most, they're incurable.

If Hilfy's seriously injured again I think you guys should give him a babysitter, a mother and a medical team to live with him till the Ashes. That guy should not be walking around on his own.

Ahem, 'inferior opposition'? 2-0 in the t20s, 1-1 in the Tests?

Lou said...

You're alright, Stani, CA and the selectors knows they aren't inferior opposition. You can see that as they won't be dropping anyone despite a horrible tour where the Aussies couldn't win any series.

It's because the opposition was better/at least equal and you can't do anything about that!

Stani, that's Hildy being a twat - not me!

Naveen, I do plan to post during the tour to India. India is always such a hard tour for us, I think making fun of events is the only way for me to survive it with my sanity intact.

Siddle, the ugliest man in cricket. It does seem a while since we last saw him, doesn't it? I imagine if he's fit, they'll use him. He may resemble an abortion gone wrong but he can bowl.

Most of the time, anyway.
