whoops

I wanted to refresh everyone’s mind on what our favourite non biased cricket players agent Arthur said this the other day,

“The fact that coaches like Greg Shipperd, Darren Lehmann and Darren Berry who are unknown outside of Australia have managed to secure rich IPL contracts proves that Australia as a cricketing nation is totally over rated.”

Arthur Turner

I couldn’t help pointing out the IPL ladder.

Team Mat Won Lost Tied N/R Pts Net RR For Against
Delhi Daredevils 11 8 3 0 0 16 +0.275 1528/197.5 1517/203.4
Chennai 12 7 4 0 1 15 +1.021 1782/215.3 1574/217.1
Deccan Chargers 12 7 5 0 0 14 +0.294 1820/232.4 1793/238.1
Rajasthan Royals 12 6 5 0 1 13 -0.329 1451/213.1 1558/218.2
Bangalore 12 6 6 0 0 12 -0.309 1689/237.0 1735/233.2
Kings XI Punjab 12 6 6 0 0 12 -0.470 1561/211.2 1638/208.3
Mumbai Indians 13 5 7 0 1 11 +0.401 1732/236.2 1636/236.1
Kolkata 12 1 10 0 1 3 -0.973 1466/209.2 1578/197.5

So the two Australian coaches who deserve to be there according to Arthur are hosting the teams at 6 and 8.

The two South African coaches are at 5 and 7.

And the three coaches ol’ Arthur bags are at 1,3 &4.

Whoops.

Who is making the IPL worse?

He also bagged Victoria’s Rob Quiney, who made 50 off 30 in his next game to pick up a man of the match award, and NSWale’s (actually he is Queensland’s, and was South Australia’s, but Arthur got confused) Ryan Harris whom he also thought was crap ended up with 2/20 in his game tonight.

Happens to the best of us Arthur.

    Forgive him, JRod. He’s just got Buchanan on the brain.

    Heh. Gavaskar said something about how last year’s IPL showed how over-rated Australian coaches were. I think the Aus-coached teams finished 1, 2, 3, and 5.

    Will somebody get this Turner fellow to disparage BRC? Might be too late to make this season’s Semis, though.
