Here is a list of Kanye West songs and the Cricketers or hangers on they remind me of.

Gold Digger – Shane Bond

“I aint saying she a gold digger, but she aint messin with no broke niggaz”

Jesus Walks – Adam Gilchrist

“I aint here to argue about his facial features, or here to convert atheists into believers”

All falls down – Marcus Trescothick

“She’s so self conscious, she has no idea what’s she’s doin in college”

Touch the sky – Virender Sehwag

“Before the day I die, I’m gonna touch the sky”

My way home – Imran Khan

“Might not be such a bad idea if I never go home again”

Crack music – Sunil Gavaskar

“I throw a little sumtin simtin on the pulpit”

Roses – Damien Martyn

“can you sign some t shirts, bitch is ya smoking reefer”

Diamonds from Sierra Leone – Sachin Tendulkar

“Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?”

Hey mama – Channel 9 commentary team (except Richie)

“You’re like a book of poetry, Maya Angelou, Nicky Giovanni, turn one page and there’s my mommy”

Late – Me (to Bhaji and Haydos)

“Little girls please stop you’re crying”

The most important one for world cricket is the Damien Martyn less Australia taking on the Kumar Sangakarra less Sri Lankans.

The second one could be the most enthralling. Pakistan takes on India.

And the third one is the Evil South Africans take on Harry’s New Zealand.

I have already given a simply stunning synopsis of the Australia v Sri Lanka series.

But I didn’t give my series result.

Without Kumar I think Australia will win the series. Probably 2 zip.

Pakistan in India will be interesting, Pakistan are missing a good fast bowler in Asif and have gained on pain in the a$$ in Ahktar.

India aren’t a great side, but things are looking good, can’t see them losing this series. Unless Imran takes charge of Pakistan and sends one of those American style pre retaliation first strike type attacks into the heart of Delhi. In that case Pakistan could win the series 2-1.

However if Imran stays under house arrest 2 zip to India.

South Africa as boring and evil as they are, have already beaten New Zealand. Sure New Zealand don’t know it yet, but they will work it out soon enough. I haven’t checked how many tests there are, cause it doesn’t really matter, New Zealand can’t win them anyway.
