why can’t they fire someone i really hate?

According to Rupert Murdoch the Australian players have asked for a female journalist to be removed from her position with host broadcaster channel 9.

Cricket With Balls received this official fax under its bedroom door late last night about this very incident.

The 10 key reasons the aussies wanted her gone are on the fax.

10.Apparently Shane Watson was not happy with Brantz because she has a better outswinger than him.

9. Mitchell Johnson wasn’t happy, as someone had said she was prettier than him.

8. Rick(y) hated her because she had a full head of her own hair.

7. Haydos was pissed as she didn’t like his cooking or announce jesus as her personal saviour.

6. Brad Hogg feels uncomfortable around girls.

5. Stuart MacGill heard she didn’t like his favourite 74 merlot and she didn’t go to a reputable school.

4. She wouldn’t let herself be ogled, and wasn’t interested in watching the boys shower, not even Roy.

3. She was taller than Brad Hodge.

2. Brett Lee was pissed she was a better singer.

1. Cricketers prefer blondes.

MacGill v Hogg – why bother with either?

In the wake of the retirements of the two greatest bowlers Australia has ever produced, the mantra of the post-Hohns selection committee should be to look forward and plan for the future and not be so worried about the present.

Andrew Hilditch and Cricket Australia are so concerned about attendance figures at games that their sole focus is on winning, winning, winning. But what about the future?

It is alright for John Buchanan to come out and say that we can palm off our “not-good-enoughs” to other countries, but our reign at the top will not last forever. The time is right for the top-nobs to start thinking about 10/11, not 07/08.

Hogg and MacGill may be good for one, maybe two years and you are all going to say that the talent is thin in the spin bowling stocks so that there isn’t someone ready to take the mantle. But remember who was the fat blonde bloke that got belted by the Indians those years ago? He was picked at 21 years of age.

We need to take a risk on a kid. I don’t care if its Callum Bailey or Dan Cullen, they may get smashed too and we may lose some games against weaker sides than us, but remember short term pain for long term gain!!!
