cricket with balls

AB de Villiers is one of those strange duck South Africans.

He doesn’t like being booed, and he doesn’t like to cheat.

You could say he is the new breed of South African batsmen who aren’t quite as tough and brutal as the old school.

Amla, looked like a confused little boy after his non walking walk.

McKenzie has issues with toilet seats.

Prince has his mittens.

Compare that with their batsmen of old.

Kepler Wessels might have been uglier to watch than Liza Minelli in the morning, but he was a tough bastard.

Brian McMillan once threatened Warne with death.

And Cullinan had the sort of arrogance that was unbelievable, even against Australia, whom he couldn’t score a cracker against.

This is what AB had to say about being booed.

“It was the first time I’d ever been booed walking out and that was very disappointing. It hurt quite a lot.”

Hurt, it’s a badge of honour.

Being booed means you have pissed off the opposition supporters to such a degree that they despise you.

Opposition supporters should love or hate you, if you are in between, you aren’t good enough.

Then he talks about the catch.

“I’m very happy it was referred and given not out, because I would never have been able to go to bed at night if I’d known he had to walk off the field.”

Ofcourse you’d be able to go to bed at night, you’re not a horse, you can’t sleep standing up.

You seem like such a snivelling little turd that we all now believe you thought you took the catch.

But who cares, you claimed a catch, the umpires make the decision.

Do you think the bowlers don’t go to bed after they appeal for an LB they know isn’t out but you are given, no, they go to bed, and they sleep well, very, very well.

AB, embrace the boos and for the aliens sake sleep in a fucken bed.
