The Collapso-matic Yellow People

I can cope with losing a warm-up match, even if it is to India and even if it is a match we should have walked home. I can cope with Dougie over-moussing his fake hair (although I will giggle at it). I can even cope with the K-man taking a wicket. Just.

What I can't cope with is this:




Who is responsible for choosing this retina burning ensemble and how much do I need to pay to have him knocked off?

Were they worried that, with the collapsability like we showed against India today, we might flit in and out of the world cup so quick everyone will miss us?

And shouldn't the pants at least match the top?

This is just embarrassing.

Fail. Big, big fail.

On the other hand it was fairly good cricket.... for a bunch of two-legged lemon meringues.
And The K got Sehwag again.

It's honestly the first thing my brain was screaming when I saw them on tv 'Why the HELL did they so want to copy CSK and look like stupid canaries?'

But console yourself with this Sid, almost every team in the WC has a rubbish outfit. We're going to watch cartoons play cricket very soon.

Nah, yeah, nah, they used to wear those canary colours (masquerading as Aussie gold, no less) when they were good, so I think it is something like a desperate retro attempt to con the squad into channelling the 2003 team.

Ugh! This is worst than the picture of Brett Lee's butt which seems to be getting bigger every time I come to your blog :P.

CSK won the IPL last year. Maybe they think this outfit will win them another World Cup!

It does look like CSK, doesn't it? Maybe with the cup being in India, it was actually a stipulation of the ICC that every team wear stupid colours?

Purn, I can make Brett Lee's butt even bigger for you if you like ... it is a nice butt, at least.

The first thing that struck me when I saw their outfits was 'they are going for the 2003 look'....why not? It was one of their most dominating campaigns wasn't it?
By the way, Pakistan's jerseys for the World cup is awesome...do check it out!

I admit I haven't looked at anyone else's kit yet - is Pakistan's flourescant green? Please say it is.

Wes, if the K man can pull off some serious wicket-age in this series, I might just lower myself into liking him.

Might.

flourescant/flourescent??

It's not a word I use tha often.

nope, it is not fluorescent green...more like the dark green hue of the 2003 WC..
