Kingcricket is on great form over at TWC about why he doesn’t like the IPL teams.
“We can’t even look at the individual players without wondering whether they were the subject of lengthy discussions about how their presence in the side would ‘position the franchise for consumers’.
“How does Andrew Symonds represent the Deccan Chargers ideals and values?” they’d have asked. “Do his qualities fit with our image? What’s our official stance on the shoulder-charging of streakers? Do we have one? Why don’t we have one? Let’s say that we’re pro shoulder-charging streakers so that we can sign Roy.””
It is funny that he has picked Roy as his muse, since it was Roy who was in trouble for drinking too much alcohol by the Australian team, even though they are sponsored by many an alcoholic company.
That was a case of making a stand on behalf of the Australian cricket consumers, while flogging off the same product.
I still have no idea what Australia’s official stance on alcohol consumption is.
My official stance on alcohol is that beer is good.
I’d say scotch of Irish is better, I’m also rather partial to the poncy French liqueurs like chartreuse – or the Latin stuff like pisco, tiquila, cachaca the rums. Right now its Gin cos that is all that there is in the house….
In England to watch any kind of meaningful cricket you have to fortify yourself with the strong stuff cos it can get bloody cold while watching a 4 day match in April!
I think only Cockspur out of these products sponsors the English game
Alcoholism is entirely at odds with the values of Roy…
“and a bottle of sweet sherry for the Sheilas?”
