cricket with balls

Poor Tim.

Bloke photo shops him looking like Jonah Hill, and Tim says fuck and calls him a KNOB.

Fair enough.

Probably not the sort of behaviour the ECB wants from their cricketers, but it was no worse than what an English cricketer said next to a camera at the end of the win against South Africa.

Swearing on TV is bad, but can be quickly forgotten, and doesn’t even always need an apology.

How many times have we seen a cricketer play and miss and then heard a muffled, “fuck”, from stump cam.

Some of us can lip read too, not every word, but I am pretty sure Freddie and Siddle broke some sort of records for how many times the word fuck was used in one spell this year.

I am not sure that putting knob and fuck in even constitutes a expletive-laden rant.

I found this on twitter:

“Stop fucking yelling into your shitty phone you dumb fucken asshole. People can fucken hear you if you talk normally you wanker.”

That is laden.

Before I broke the exclusive (apparently that doesn’t get you a new car or a latte maker) I wondered if I was doing the right thing.

By airing the story you mean that future cricketers on twitter will be on a short leash, if at all, and that is less fun.

But then I thought it was funny, and funny trumps all.

I would like to say I am angry at the Daily Mail though, not because I wasn’t given proper credit for breaking this all important story, but for **** the word knob.

Remember when the Times featured my site, but wrote bastards as b*******.

**** Must stop.
