Why i should have a blog?. :D

I hope sachin gets out zero , that would be hilarious. He scored century against weak bangladesh team.

Now it is his time to draw this game and play dravid like inning and save this match. if not oh well hell freezes over on all sachin cult followers and my puppets in this blog. :D

They do give penalty runs for ball tampering don’t they? That’s what Hair did at the oval, signalled penalty runs, leading to all the trouble.

Steve, if Broad or Watson had done this, I would have laughed, and then questioned their thinking, with afridi i skipped the last part because I will never understand his brain.

2 days no post on how south africa making india its bitch. Ishant sharma stinking the place. How in the world he keep getting chances?. He lost his mojo. Got money. got fat. can’t bowl faster than 129kmph. It is same story with every indian bowlers. They got the taste of moola (money) and slack off.Fking retarded indians.

Mishra also stining. This guy has small hands. he really can’t spin the ball and short and he is good for 3-4 over spell at best. He is really not fit for Tests. Ojha is also vanilla. Basically indian bowling sucks and stinks. They should not be number 1 team, They do not deserve to be number 1. Hope SA beat the crap out of india and silence jingoistic babbling indian media and fans once for all. It is not green pitch and if SA beat india , it is truly number 1. Yes india miss Dravid , laxman.

India sucked because selectors farted in this one. They screwed up big by not selecting karthik. They selected saha to satisfy dalmia & co and bengali fans. Mistake was depending on laxman. He always calculate if dravid is not there he won’t bat, he knows if he screws up he is done for ever.

VVS should be removed from test selection for ever. He is whining SOB.

I will be distributing sweets if SA beats india in this test, They deserve to win this test. I know it is not dhoni’s fault completely , he also played safe and made saha scapegoat. He should have picked mithun over saha. He did not . He played shrewed. Smart guy.

Amla? making double century? Indian bowling is awful. horrible…stop farting in the pitch eating dal.

I think the absolute cheek and bonkers method is what fans of Afridi are finding enjoyable, the sheer je ne sai quoi of taking a bite out of the ball. In front of everyone. He could not have possibly expected to get away with it so must have just acted without any thought for consequences which is the behaviour that people like in him. Barbie is just a brat, a petulant turd and his ball tampering attempts are in that vein. He says he doesn’t want to be liked, it seems he’s getting his wish.

Why don’t they give penalty runs for ball tampering? Obviously it can’t be legalised – where they hell would the line be drawn? – but I’m starting to see it as a similar thing to sledging. Not really in the spirit as most people see it but an interesting part of the game. Maybe I’m becoming more nuanced in my fandom.? I was outraged at the murray mints stuff in 2005 but I’m getting more used to the act and I’ve been really enjoying the furore this time.

I’m sure there are bowlers who don’t do it, much like the batsmen who still walk but maybe I’m still a little naive?

Funny the excuses people find for cricketers they think are so cool. If it had been Twatto, or Broad, Jrod and acolytes wouldn’t be so blase or amused. And regardless of the merits and legalities of different types of ball-tampering, Afridi is obviously plain dumb-fuck stupid ( or totally up himself) to do it twice in plain view of 24 cameras. And then implying it is part of pakistani cricketing culture. Brings every Pakistani back to Wasim Akram into doubt. Really helpful for his country!

“Be subtle”? he wouldn’t know “subtle” if it came and wiped its arse in front of him. And I thought Twatto was a dickhead …

He should be more subtle like the England bowlers in SA, although it didn't work, they never got a ban for their efforts! .-= Cricket Betting Blog´s last blog ..Australia V West Indies, ODI Series =-.
