Mel, the very thought is getting me through the long lonely nights.

I am currently in Canada and therefore have seen rather a lot of baseball on tv (and rather a lot of Olympic women’s beach volleyball, but that’s what happens when you give MrMel the remote control).This has led me to wonder the reaction of Miriam and Sarah were Vettori and Oram to form a men’s beach volleyball team and parade upon our screens in skimpy speedos.

You get given the blog for a few days, and suddenly there are unclosed italics tags!

Enjoyed that article enormously – and must say I am with the commentator who said “Yeahhh baseball! Your #3 is so spot on. I’ve only ever managed to articulate the tight pants portion of it, but a resounding “hell yes!” to the rest.”

I do like cerebral types. I have this fantasy that Oram mixes hot and intelligent rather marvellously. I would prefer to remain in blissful ignorance if this isn’t the case! More than happy to be considered cosmopolitan.Incidentally, I think the only time I’ve ever bought that particular publication was earlier this year when Messrs Anderson, Broad and Cook graced its pages…

I think my Vettori thing is more the (probably imaginary) personality and qualities that I have imposed on him, rather than objective hotness. Oram: oh yes, definitely. I think if you like cricket and baseball that makes you wonderfully cosmopolitan (in the original sense of the word, nothing to do with that tawdry magazine).

I have tried but I simply don’t get the Vettori thing. He’s just not hot. Now if you’d said Jacob Oram… Have always prided myself on being reasonably intelligent but was incapable of speech and practically went into meltdown when he was about 6 feet away from me at Canterbury in April. Still haven’t quite got over it.ps I love baseball. Are those of us who like both extra smart?pps Pah! to Adelaide too.
