After sorting through many emails from aspiring young starlets, I got a bit bored (I know it surprised me too), so I popped over to cricinfo to see if there was a cricket match that could interest me.
The Windies are currently playing the Zimbabweans, who knew?
I used to love the Zimbabweans, didn’t you?
Heath Streak playing each game like Mugabe was going to take him from behind. Andy Flower batting better than all his southern neighbours. Paul Strang confusing batsmen with perfectly pitched wrong uns and Neil Johnson who gave his whole country a piggyback ride during the 99 world cup.
Johnson’s innings against the Aussies in the tournament was Natalie Portman kissing Keira Knightley worthy.
Then it all went a$$ shaped.
Pick a cause, Mugabe, farmers, civil violence, starving children and political interference just to name a few.
It was gone all too soon.
Now we have a bunch of brave kids, who are being used as some sort of Mugabe version of the Hitler youth.
I want to like them, I even want them to be my second favourite team again, but it’s like sleeping with a bird after she ended it badly the first time. You want to recreate that original felling, but you can’t because your sh1tscared she’ll end it again.
So for that reason and many others, I will never sleep with Robert Mugabe again.
my Fiance went to school with Andy Blighnaught and the Matambanadzo twins (of which one was pretty good..)Then when we were in a pub in London called GJ’s with a bunch of Zimbo’s we met Heath Streak and Sean Ervine. I bought them a beer.
Something quite sad about watching Sean Ervine play for the Warriors.
