Dear Mark Waugh,

Occasionally at the balls we get given a post written by cricketers or officials. We posted a few of them a while back under the name of the omitted. Since then we have received heaps more, but in general they are either something that will get us sued, or weird. But of recent times we have have received one, and as it appears to be a letter, we thought it would be rude not to share it with Mr Waugh. Obviously, we will never reveal the name of the person who wrote this.

Dear Mark Waugh,

Please stop all this Steve Smith dribble.

Yes, the boy has some ability.

Yes, he has cleared the boundary in a few big bash and One day games.

Yes, he turns his leg break and warney reckons he ok.

Yes, he looks like the retarded 12 year old love child of a seminal mix from Cameron “downsyndrome” White and his fat NSW team mate with the same surname.

Yes, he has only taken 11 wickets at 75 and made 1 hundred in first class cricket… oh, whoops… not sure if you knew that one. You tool.

But I do see some reasoning behind your push to see this pubescent Sydney-sider in a baggy green. There is after all only 6 blue-baggers in the current Australian test side, 7 if you count Ponting, which you should because his wife refuses to grant him permission to visit the Apple isle for anything paying less than a test match.

This number of players from New South Wales is clearly nowhere near enough, is it, Mark. As we all know the blues have been the benchmark of the competition for the last few years. Get some more of them in there please Andrew Hilditch. Oh… that’s right, you’ve tried to. Lets revisit a few of these:

Phil Hughes – Fair enough the kid can play, but it is a statistical fact that he has never scored a run on the leg side. EVER! Its true. Look it up. He also still has stains in his dacks form the last bloke who decided to bump him at more than 140km/h.

Phil Jaques – Scored a few runs at test level, and probably deserves another crack, but no one wants to watch the fucker bat. He is uglier than Kim Clijsters. And he throws like a 60-year-old woman.

Beau Casson – good tour of the west indies but seems to have forgotten how to bowl. Did do himself the honour of no-balling himself out of the game by bowling too many full bungers on one occasion though.

Burt Cockley – Please… even Big burt was offended with his call-up. Bowls a mean half-volley.

So Junior, please do us a favour and stop pumping up yet another NSW player. In-fact, you could go one step further, and after brushing, rinse your mouth out with undiluted Sulfuric acid. This will help to endear you to the thousands of viewers that have had the displeasure of hearing your dribble.

You are in fact a cunt.

Even your butt-ugly 65 year-old missus dumped you.

Yours truly

The Omitted

The Burt Cockley question

What does 4 list A games, 5 wickets, and an economy rate of 6.87 get you?

Well if you are from New South Wales, it gets you a trip to sunny India to replace the other 19 players who never went or have come home.

That is all that Burt Cockley needed to do, 4 of his 5 wickets came in his last game.

He bowled 2nd change.

He is going to India.

Not Brett Geeves, Dirty Dirk Nannes, or the Proctologist Stuart Clark.

You now get the feeling that Australia are purposefully sending over

They have obviously stepped into this deathly vortex and their only hope is sending out players that it doesn’t matter if they get injured.

Andrew McDonald has been sent over as well.

I do understand the theory.

But surely it would be cheaper and safer to just cancel the last two games, lose the 5th game on purpose and come home.

Even if that would mean that Burt, and his piercing blue eyes, miss out on a debut.

Australian injury toll is now 8. That is pretty extreme.

Injury list:

Tim Paine – not enough calcium
Brad Haddin – couldn’t be bothered
Michael Clarke – under the thumb
James Hopes – fringe injury
Brett Lee – recurrence of earnestness
Nathan Bracken – who?
Peter Siddle – faking to get a day off
Moises Henriques – kieron pollard inspired panic attack
Callum Ferguson- who i forgot

australians snub NSWelsh quick for crazy clint mckay

Something odd is going on with the Australian cricket team.

They keep trying to play Victorians in the national side.

Not content with Hodge, McGain, Nannes, Harwood, McDonald, White, Hussey, Holland and Quiney (the last two in squads), they have now picked Crazy Clint McKay as their replacement for Hopes and or Lee.

That is how good they think McKay in, he is relacing Australia’s best white ball bowler and their dependable all round tradesman.

They could have sent over Dirty Dirk Nannes and the all round dynamo of Dan Christian if they were trying to actually match the skills, instead they have decided that Clint has all the skills they need.

This isn’t exactly true, Moises was already sent over, even before anyone had been sent home, because of his stellar form for the KKR. So Clint is really just cover for Lee, and he won’t play unless Hilfy and Douggie get injured.

The major scandal is that there was another NSWales players that could have been picked.

Mitchell Starc.

Starc has played one first class and one list A game for New South Wales. He is 19 and took two wickets against the Warriors.

Surely that makes him overqualified for the Australian team.

It is a risky decision for an Australian selector to pick a Victorian over a NSWelshman, especially one as experienced as Starc is.

You could even say there were other NSWales bowlers who could have been picked, the Kings XI Punjab’s Burt Cockley took 4 wickets in a game of cricket the other day, surely that should have gotten him a ticket.

Other players that could have been picked before McKay include: Matthew Nicholson, Brad McNamara and Stuart Clark.

Australia ‘a’ squad

Australia ‘a’ is playing the Pakistani ‘a’ side this winter.

It is up in Townsville, so they don’t really have winter up there.

The squad is full of new names, some of which haven’t even played a full year of shield cricket.

Fair to say it isn’t really an ‘a’ squad, but a development squad.

There is no Hodge, Symonds, Harris, Nannes, Noffke, McGain, or Magoffin in it.

In the squad are some odd and surprising selections.

Ryan Broad: Whose career average of 35 in first class cricket doesn’t really turn me on.

Jon Holland: Victoria’s replacement for the injured and nationally indisposed Bryce McGain, sure he shows promise, but perhaps an ‘a’ gig is too much praise for little actual wickets.

Burt Cockley: Still hardly plays for NSWales, but everyone keeps talking him up.

Moises Henriques: All he needs is a hamstring injury and he is the new Shane Watson.

But my favourite selection has to be Shaun Tait.

Now we know why he was being held back from the IPL, because he had ‘a’ one day games (wasn’t picked for the four day cricket) to play.

Cameron White (Victoria, captain), Adam Voges (WA, vice-captain), George Bailey (Tasmania), Doug Bollinger (NSW), Ryan Broad (Queensland), Burt Cockley (NSW), Callum Ferguson (South Australia), Brett Geeves (Tasmania), Moises Henriques (NSW), Jon Holland (Victoria), Michael Klinger (South Australia), Jason Krejza (Tasmania), Shaun Marsh (WA), Clint McKay (Victoria), Tim Paine (Tasmania), Shaun Tait (South Australia), David Warner (NSW).

The Ultimate IPL Guide: Kings XI Punjab

Classically attractive, but unsexy.

Porn star: Yuvraj Singh

Showed all the captaincy instincts of a squirrel last series. But the fans and cameras love him. Will look cool a lot, but maybe not much more.

Pole Dancer: Shaun Marsh

Was the best batsmen of the first tournament, will be in Pakistan for a time, but once he is back he gives the Kings a spine.

Boy Next Door: Piyush Chawla

Another legspinner, but more of an absurdist straight breaker. Very hard to get away and should be a major strike weapon for the Punjabi kings.

Model: Brett Lee

Chance he wont play, but really wasn’t that much of a figure last season anyway. If he plays the South African pitches will help him. Will be desperate to impress.

Home Made/Amateur: Burt Cockley

Fast bowling NSWales nobody with a great name.
