Some times I wonder why cricket needs its Administracrats.
Surely a trained monkey (non racist monkey reference) with a crayon could make fewer errors.
But then they say something that makes me sit up and listen.
“Test cricket is what is being played, it is not tiddlywinks.”
Says head Cricket Australian Administracrat James “I was never much chop as a bowler” Sutherland.
Brilliant observation, tiddlywinks is an indoor game played with sets of small discs called “winks” lying on a surface, usually a flat mat. Players use a larger disc called a “squidger” to pop a wink into flight by pressing down on one side of the wink. The objective of the game is to cause the winks to land either on top of opponents’ winks, or ultimately inside a pot or cup.
The main point of difference I can see between cricket and Tiddlywinks is that it’s not played over 5 days.
The North American Tiddlywinks Association have hired slander experts to see if James Sutherland was attacking their great game by mentioning it in the same sentence as cricket.
However Rick(y) & Anil have played tiddlywinks before, it ended up in controversy at a hotel in Jamaica. Anil suggested Rick(y) had played an illegal flop womp move and accused him of not playing in the spirit of the winks. He demanded that the concierge come in and sort the mess out. Rick(y) got very defensive and suggested that his flop womp was not in question and smacked the concierge with a chair for questioning him about it, or any sneaky carnovsky plays from earlier in the game.
Hitting someone with a chair in Tiddlywinks is called a Boondock and gets you three squops.
A tremendous brouhaha ensued.
And for those who think I made up all these words and are questioning my integrity, visit Tiddlywinks wiki page if you don’t believe me.
Also, If you are questioning my integrity, then you should not be here, someone hand me a chair so I can smack you upside your head, you dirty integrity doubter.
