The expected New Year post

This is the time when we are all supposed to write a post telling you all about one of the following:

  • New blogs that appeared in 2010
  • my favourite blogs of 2010 OR
  • my favourite blog posts of 2010

But that would imply I like one or two of you, and I don't want to lure you all into a false sense of security like that.

So, instead, here is the Gits of 2010 honour roll - 5 players selected from a huge cast of potentials:

Stuart Broad for the "was he/wasn't he?" ball tampering scandal and for running to Daddy to get him out of trouble.

Andrew Hilditch for ... where to begin? Maybe we should think of the reasons he isn't a git, because that would be quicker.

Nope, got nothing.

Sachin Tendulkar - just because it will piss people off to have him on this list.

Zulquy Haider - for trying to move to the UK when Australia is so much nicer.

AND ...

Xavier Doherty - for not being My Lord.

Oh, come on! That was predictable, wasn't it?

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Oh noes Sid, Nate should have featured in this post. The expected New year post would have been a dedication to him for enduring so much this entire year.

Have a awesomefreakingreat 2011 and apart from the World Cup, hopefully the Aussies win a few more games. :P

Sridh, Beefy Butt stands grinning on my blog's front page.

Sorry to disappoint, Sunny. If you're not happy with my New Year post, you can always not comment on it.

Shridhar and Chris, have a great New Year.

Shridhar, Ijaz was on a long list of people - which also included Ponting, Swann, and Mohammad Amir - who were dropped off in my quest to have only 5.

Shridhar Jaju said...

Ijaz Butt will sue you for dropping him. It's a conspiracy to defame him and spoil his 2011...

Sachin's watch does it for me. So doesn't go with the shirt!!!

Surprised Swann isn't here. Annoying, egotistical, best spinner in the world, inventor of "The Sprinkler" ;)

Happy New Years ;)

Oh teh noes!! Hopefully your new year will be better than the incidents in the post! All the best Sid!

Sorry for the lame joke. :/

Craig, I couldn't resist a Sachin dig - I do think he is a great player really, I just get sick of people going unduly nuts ever time he hiccups or anything.

I figured I had gone on and on about Swann over the last year and decided he deserved a break. Don't worry, I'll come to my senses soon.

Shridhar - I'm prepared for Ijaz's backlash, I consulted my lawyer before writing this post. I have agreed, in writing, to include Butt in next year's New Year post on condition that he remains a git throughout 2011 to make the post easier to write.

Sorted.

Thanks, Wes. All the best to you and yours as well.
