Cameron White to captain Australia over Michael Clarke’s rotting corpse

Greg Shipperd has recently stated that Cameron White should be the captain of the Australian 2020 team.

And it makes sense.  It won’t happen, but it makes sense.

Imagine if Australia actually picked the right captain for the job rather than the best batsman around, their world would implode.

I can already see Cricket Australia officials premeditating their spontaneous combustion at the very suggestion.

Clarke is the next captain.  That was decided at the meeting at the Melbourne Club that was hosted by the Freemasons and catered by the Jewish Mafia.

Any other suggestions of Marcus North for the test job, and Cameron White for the white balls jobs should be disregarded before you get yourself into an “accident”.

It doesn’t matter that Michael Clarke doesn’t seem to be any good at 2020, he is the man for the job, case closed.

It is written, and etc.

Shipperd’s selection would make sense in some sort of bizarre world where Australia took 2020 seriously or one where the white ball captaincy wasn’t an apprenticeship for the main job.

If Clarke wasn’t the captain of the white ball games where would be learn to captain?

He doesn’t play for NSWales anymore; he is either “ill”, resting himself or off beating it to video footage of Katich choking him.

Ponting will never get suspended for poor over rates; the ICC has given up on that rule.

And Clarke doesn’t even play IPL; apparently he has enough money already.

So what is left? The 2020 job, and sweet fuck all.

Ofcourse a professional outlet who wanted to win at all three formats would have the choice of having three different captains, and even 3 different coaches.

Greg Shipperd’s record as a 2020 coach is better than anyone else’s on the planet.  Although my record as 2020 coach is probably as good as Nielsen’s.

In the world where White and Shipperd were the captain and coach of the 2020 side I would be routinely raped anally by my biggest fan Natalie Portman and her 12-inch Strap-on named Virender.

I like Ship, but the dude must stop taking acid.

whoops

I wanted to refresh everyone’s mind on what our favourite non biased cricket players agent Arthur said this the other day,

“The fact that coaches like Greg Shipperd, Darren Lehmann and Darren Berry who are unknown outside of Australia have managed to secure rich IPL contracts proves that Australia as a cricketing nation is totally over rated.”

Arthur Turner

I couldn’t help pointing out the IPL ladder.

Team Mat Won Lost Tied N/R Pts Net RR For Against
Delhi Daredevils 11 8 3 0 0 16 +0.275 1528/197.5 1517/203.4
Chennai 12 7 4 0 1 15 +1.021 1782/215.3 1574/217.1
Deccan Chargers 12 7 5 0 0 14 +0.294 1820/232.4 1793/238.1
Rajasthan Royals 12 6 5 0 1 13 -0.329 1451/213.1 1558/218.2
Bangalore 12 6 6 0 0 12 -0.309 1689/237.0 1735/233.2
Kings XI Punjab 12 6 6 0 0 12 -0.470 1561/211.2 1638/208.3
Mumbai Indians 13 5 7 0 1 11 +0.401 1732/236.2 1636/236.1
Kolkata 12 1 10 0 1 3 -0.973 1466/209.2 1578/197.5

So the two Australian coaches who deserve to be there according to Arthur are hosting the teams at 6 and 8.

The two South African coaches are at 5 and 7.

And the three coaches ol’ Arthur bags are at 1,3 &4.

Whoops.

Who is making the IPL worse?

He also bagged Victoria’s Rob Quiney, who made 50 off 30 in his next game to pick up a man of the match award, and NSWale’s (actually he is Queensland’s, and was South Australia’s, but Arthur got confused) Ryan Harris whom he also thought was crap ended up with 2/20 in his game tonight.

Happens to the best of us Arthur.

Australia is ruining the IPL says Unbiased South African player agent

“The fact that coaches like Greg Shipperd, Darren Lehmann and Darren Berry who are unknown outside of Australia have managed to secure rich IPL contracts proves that Australia as a cricketing nation is totally over rated.”

Arthur Turner

Greg Shipperd is unknown outside of Australia and yet New Zealand tried to poach him as head coach. Darren Lehmann has played 144 International matches, which is 144 more than Arthur, I, or Ray Jennings has played. And finally Darren Berry is not technically head coach of the Royals, Shane Warne is, I think people outside of Australia have heard of him.

Should player agents write articles?

Thanks to Well Pitched for the heads up.

hard to find a good man

New Zealand Cricket is currently courting several men.

None of them are John Bracewell, and New Zealand Cricket seemed to really like John Bracewell.

No one is sure why, all of the NZC’s friends thought John Bracewell was an ass.

An actual ass.

But New Zealand Cricket was smitten.

So when Bracewell decided to see other people, NZC had to start dating again.

It wanted someone arrogant, full of themselves, and well thought of.

So they pretty much went to Australia and South Africa.

South Africa threw up shady individuals, and even though NZC liked the mystery, when Ford asked them to hold a brown paper bag, but told them “for fucks sake don’t look in the bag”, they decided he could be a bit too mysterious.

Then they looked back at Australia, Vettori told them he had found the perfect guy for them whilst back packing in India.

He was stoic, determined, intelligent, and used to coaching a team of all rounders with no real top order.

Unfortunately Ship decided to stay with Victoria, as there players are far less likely to become kolpaks or play in the ICL.

Then Brendan chipped in, he met a bloke while he was at a Rave in Goa. The guy was quiet, but he knew how to deal with talent.

Also he was really quiet, and he let Brendan talk and talk.

Problem was he was already dealing with an international side in New South Wales, and the drop off in talent could be an issue for him.

Frustrated with all these false starts, and unfulfilled desires, someone at NZC suggested stealing someone elses man.

So NZC looked around world cricket for someone who could coach, that narrowed it down, and someone who was disillusioned with his team.

This lead them to another South African, sure he was taken, but he didn’t seem that happy with his current team, and it’s not like he has to come over straight away, NZC is still having some goodbye sessions with Braces.

But all this flirting, courting, and waiting is pointless anyway.

Just fling a dart at a board and pick your next loser.

Time get on with your life, with your taste in men, the longer you take, the worse you’ll end up.

Mr Right doesn’t exist.

Brett Geeves, a Sehwagology devil

Brett Geeves is probably my favourite nonVictorian Australian cricketer.

This is because of a few key facts.

He is a funny dude.

I find his haircut amusing.

He is a bowling allrounder, even if his figures don’t quite match that yet.

He bowls pretty damn fast.

His yorkers are as dangerous and accurate as a hungry Zulu warrior throwing a spear at a vegan.

I was initially stunned that he was picked for the IPL, because this was his main break out year, due to injuries and the fact Tassie have a host of guys who bowl at about his pace.

But then I checked which team he went to, the Delhi Daredevils, head coach, Greg Shipperd, also head coach of the mighty Victorian Bushragers and ex coach of Tasmania, where Brett Geeves plies his trade.

So Ship, going on his knowledge that Geeves was good way back when, and that he regularly depantses Victoria, decides he is a good bet for this IPL thingy.

Some people call him the butler, I think this is because his uncle was a butler.

I haven’t given him a nick name yet, but I will soonish, I was thinking Ask.

His one game for the Daredevils ended with 4 overs at 40.

If he plays again I expect a marked improvement, and if they mike him up, even better.
