Twitter Cockups

So KP did something a wee bit silly and announced to the Twitter world (no mean feat, in light of his 29,000+ followers) that he was dropped from the T20 side. And he used a swear word, the bad little boy. Fucking idiot.

But, of course, he is not the first cricketer to write silly things on twitter - we all remember little Philly Hughes, don't we? He did the same thing, but didn't swear (because his Mum would've grounded him).

Here are some examples of other tweets that the relevant cricketing bodies probably aren't too proud of:

Stuart Broad (last year) - sex change operation successful! Now, if only daddy can convince them to let me play for England.

Graeme Swann (last month) - just putting my cat under the floorboards for a laugh, then I might have a white wine spritzer and get pissed.

Steve Smith - (last week) I wish Ponting would shut the fuck up so I can to bed already - it's not like they'll play me in the Ashes anyway.

Ricky Ponting - (sometime last January) just checking the bookies' odds on us beating Pakistan in the test tomorrow.

Shane Watson (he doesn't remember when) - some nice men came up to me and asked me about losing the test. I was shocked. We're not going to lose, are we?

Nathan Hauritz (every day) - I am the God of spinners and Lord of @dustbincricket.

Mohammad Amir (Wednesday) - Really? All that cash just for ... WHAT? Too soon?

Sorry.

This is the slightly edited version. Apologies if anyone thought the original was a bit harsh.

Booo! We want the original version!

Final post reinstated - it seems so harmless now, but for some reason I expected issues from people.

It seems that no one is reading me at the moment except you (and lots of spammers) anyway, so no one will get offended.

Just to boost your ego an ickle bit

Thanks, Craig. Was feeling a bit unloved lately ... but I think people are a bit low on cricket with all the match fixing allegations. Probably why things are a bit quiet.

Stani Army said...

...I also comment under the name of Craig ;)

Just kidding! And anyway, am I not enough?

Craig said...

Wait, am I supposed to be writing a blog then?

You ok with an editorial on the cultural and socialogical differences between male and female lapdancers within the context of a multicultural society?


And can I claim expenses?

Stani Army said...

If Craig's blog posts include pictures, I say you sign him up Sid!

sunny said...

But I have been reading your blog Sid! And of course I'm a much more valuable reader than Stani, isn't it so?

Btw, I'm feeling a bit unreaded too. See, you didn't even miss me while I was away! I'd better go in hiding.
