There is a serious drug problem in cricket.
Some players are taking too many.
Some players, not enough.
But in Bermuda, weed is being blamed for the fact their side is crap and has a fat dude playing in it.
Apparently every football or cricket game you go to in Bermuda you can smell the mary jane.
Which ofcourse is unacceptable, as you should be only allowed to smell beer cascading down the double chin of a sun burnt dude.
The problem with Bermuda is they think you need to stop smoking joints to play for your country.
This is not true, if Phil Tufnell and Stephen Fleming have taught us anything its that weed can help built test cricketers.
Opium works wonders as well.
Things that cricketers should give up to play for their country according to the worlds cricket administracrats.
Alcohol.
Burgers.
Women.
Men.
Drugs (except performance enhancing)
Heavy metal.
Bay Watch.
Atheism.
Gangsta rap.
Bare knuckled boxing.
And knitting.
EDIT: While researching (I know) this post I found a great headline on cric info from a few years back.
ICC has kept players informed on substances – Speed
Great headline!Which Aussie cricketers enjoy an occasional joint?From Pakistan – everyone! Even Inzi… Yousuf I haven’t heard of so not sure.. and I also heard that Bob Woolmer used to roll the most amazing Js..
There were always rumours about Greg Matthews and Jason Gillespie.
Oh and when you said even Inzi, shouldn’t that have been, obviously Inzi.
Haha, yeah obviously Inzi ;-).. Its just that some Pakistanis find it hard to believe – u know with the whole religious image he created.. not to doubt his religious ways but certain vices even they don’t shed..
Brilliant. Just brilliant.It’s been a while since I’ve had so much fun reading a blog. It helps that you’re writing about cricket :PLoved it.I’m adding you to my blog roll… hope you don’t mind.( Actually, I don’t really care even if you do mind. I’m adding you anyways)Just one question: are you Lankan?
Mixed Blessings, you can add me to anything you’d like. But I am not Lankan, although i have slept with one before.
Dude… with your obsession with Sangakkara, I just thought it may be possible…’The King’… WTF???I do think he’s cool and all… but who the hell goes around calling a cricketer ‘The King’ ???
Matthews and Gillespie..hmmm.. I have reason to believe that Lehmann, Warne, and Mark Waugh as well…
MB, the simple answer to that is, I do.
Jrod, only slept with the one Lankan? you poor, deprived child.
