England think too much

The Superstars won the money.

They wanted to win, they thought about winning, they prepared to win.

And they won.

Some would say that is how you play sports.

England decided on a different tact.

First the selection process was not for a 2020 game, it was the one day squad.

Some new players were made to feel uncomfortable at their selection, like they had anything to do with it.

From there some players were talking about money, some were talking about India, some were talking about playing for their country.

England arrived days before their first game.

They all tried to sound unconcerned about money, even though the game was money.

Then the wags, and Stanford visits got to them.

Then they lost the game.

Peter Moores and KP believe their heads were not in the game.

But who’s fault was that?

With Moores taking shit about what the game was about, and KP telling everyone to respect the crunch of credit, they had their boys all fucked up in the noggin.

They were playing a team who wanted to win, for them it was the about the money.

And they have it.

Apparently KP told Gayle that that the Superstars needed the money more than his boys did.

Perhaps he is a philanthropist after all.

At least he didn’t try to make the Windies Grovel for their money.

He just sort of gave it to them.

If that was the plan, they did it beautifully.

This was the BANDaid of cricket tournaments, shame they never get the really shit hot musicians in.

Matt Prior is now a good bloke

I got given one of those free papers today on the tube.

There was a great cricket quote in it from KP about Matt Prior. 
“He’s become a real good bloke and matured alot as a man over the last 6 or 9 months”. 
He’s become a real good bloke, what the fuck was he before. 
An ass, a cunt, a dick, a fucktard, a scientologist, a christian?
Is KP the sort of bloke that should be making judgements on whether people are good people or not. 
Then again neither am I, but it’s never stopped me before.

KP does improv

“If we play like we played this week, we’ll beat Australia”
KP

He didn’t really say it, did he?

I mean why would you?

He poked the bear.

Just leave it alone.

Dance around it.

Shut the fuck up.

Graeme Smith poked the bear last time, and it stood on him.

Better to just play good cricket when the time comes.

As generally that is how you win cricket matches.

The comment should have been, “we showed good signs this week, and if we keep improving like this, there is no side that can beat us”.

No side.

Not just one.

Stop putting all your eggs in the Ashes basket you stupid fucks, test cricket is a world game, not a persoanl grudge match between England and Australia.

I would expect that a South African may have noticed this.

By next Ashes, Sri Lanka could be the best side in world cricket, and South Africa could beat Australia at home.

The Ashes are a figment of your imagination KP.

India is real.

The West Indies is a possibility.

Sri Lanka is a dream.

The Ashes won’t seem winnable if you lose the next 3 fucken series.

What have you won as captain?

A dead rubber test.

Whoop dee fucken do.

If you can’t beat India or Sri Lanka, why would you care if you can win the ashes, you’ll still be ranked about 4th in the world by then.

And why give any ammunition to Australia.

They are marginally better than an average side.

But by next year, this may not be the case.

Next year they might have 4 bowlers who can take test wickets, and their newer players will be established test players.

And Don’t lie to me KP, i was fucken there.

If you played like that against Australia, especially an Australia who may be reeling from losing at least one test series, possibly at home, you would be clobbered.

You played better cricket than you have all summer, but you played it against a team in pina colada mode.

Don’t mistake a bowl of goats piss for a bottle of champagne.

KP does not write his scripts

Or his plot twists, maguffins or dialogue.

He does have a fair bit to say in his character arc, but that is where the line is drawn.

How do I know this?

Because no one would write that they go out to Paul Harris within a few runs of victory.

So Shaun Pollock, and everyone else sprouting this shocking cliché can shut the fuck up.

Phrases I will permit when discussing KP’s charmed existence:

Script Consultant

Set designer

Method Actor

Make up artist

Story developer

Jizz Mopper

England lost 4 wickets today.

Some intelligent person said they would lose 3.

Early on they played about as safe as possible, and after 11 overs they were 11 runs.

Twas very English.

But it worked, and once Cook hit out, and by hit out I mean played controlled shots along the carpet, South Africa gave up the, or any, ghost.

The crowd gave KP such adulation when he came out, that I had to check it was him, and not Johnny Cash coming back from the dead.

Forget about who writes his scripts, his Visa granter must be proud as punch.

Was the best stamp for England since Kylie went over.

Highlight of the day was when a man behind me gave Paul Harris such a verbaling, that patrons complained.

Then he stopped bagging Harris so he could bag the other patrons, and then several security guards.

Perhaps the only time Paul Harris has created real trouble at a cricket ground.

Kp leave the mambo to people who can dance

If I hear one more press related individual say KP is a good captain I will find them and defecate on their face.

I felt like jumping the fence today.

And I don’t even like the England.

But South Africa 6 wickets down, and England’s bowlers all pretty much on the money.

And KP decides to give AB DeVilliers singles.

I know the tail end mambo has been happening for years, but this was obscene.

AB had hardly hit a ball off the square.

Morne Morkel can handle a bat.

And KP completely shit himself.

Luckily for him, Morne can’t play Monty, and that partnership didn’t back fire on him.

Unluckily the next one did.

AB and Harris put on quite a few, exact numbers escape me as was getting drunk with the Suave one.

But it seemed like quite a few, as KP seemed to be willing his South African brother on to a hundred.

AB found form with the field back, and took every easy single on offer.

He didn’t farm the strike, he mowed it.

AB faltered, because, well who knows.

But he did.

And once he was out, England finished up easily.

My favourite part of the day, that didn’t involve getting drunk, was when KP took it to farcical levels when he took the new ball and for AB he had one slip and a gully.

An Englishman took issue at my KP abuse, and was in the middle of telling me AB wasn’t going to nick one, as he nicked one.

KP, 0, angry English nonce, 0, Jrod, 1.

Although I may be in the minus after my predictions yesterday.

the saffer captain syndrome

KP just made his debut hundred as captain.

Blah Blah.

Etc.

But, when he was on 95, and Paul Harris was darting them at him, Graeme Smith’s field was interesting.

Long on was out on the boundary.

Where was KP caught last innings, you should all know, as everyone has written about it, and Shaun Pollock has shown the replay a pornographic amount of times.

So why was the field back?

It should have been up to make KP hit over the top again, regardless of previous innings.

But this happened just last week, it would have been in KP’s mind, probably bouncing around a little bit.

Smith has this reputation of being a good captain.

I think I must blink when he does his best work.

This was just another silly error.

Whether he did it for defensive reasons or as an oversight it is not good enough as a test captain.

It would be unfair to bag one South African captain, and leave the other alone.

What was going on with the deep points yesterday?

The ball was almost never hit there, so it didn’t stop the boundaries.

All it seemed to do was allow the team quicker access to the ball after it was cover driven to the rope.

Deep point worked for Vaughan in 2005 because Australia play the ball through there a lot to take the pressure off.

But the current crop of South African batsman don’t play there nearly as often, so what is the point?

Pun intended.

what moores really thinks bout KP

There are literally rumours flying everywhere around England at the moment.

The latest one is that KP and Peter Moores are not bosom buddies.

It must have some base as Peter Moores has come out and mentioned he had a one hour conversation with KP after Vaughan pissed off.

One hole hour.

Here is what Moores said on cric info, I have taken the liberty of interpreting.

“Coaches and captains are always going to have different views because they look at the game from a different angle”

Kp is a weird one, no doubt.

“But I’ve always found Kevin fine. What I like about him is that he’s got his views, which can be pretty forthright.”

The term arrogant fucktard comes to mind.

“One of the first things I wanted to do when we were going to offer him the captaincy was to sit down and talk to him about where he was coming from and what his views were and whether they matched mine. By the end we both felt very confident that we were coming from the same place.”

We decided we both love KP.

“He’ll be different to Michael [Vaughan] because he’s a different man, Michael had his style and that was very successful. Kevin will bring Kevin Pietersen, which is crucial.”

Did I really say that, how could he not bring Kevin Pieterson, is that a question for Quantum physicists.

“He’ll be his own man and that’s going to be really important. What’s really promising is that the senior arm of the team is going to get behind him.”

With their knives ready.

That seems to have cleared up the KP Moores rumour quite nicely.

KP, now it’s your nation

England has swiftly appointed KP as its commander in chief.

Rob Key and Tim Ambrose were hardly discussed.

This is KP’s team.

So it needs some remodelling.

Freddie will have to get that brought hair spot fixed.

Strauss will need a haircut that Public schools don’t sanction.

Cook will need to paint his nails to match his eyeliner.

Sidebottom may get dropped.

Collingwood won’t be allowed to wear hawiaan shirts on tour anymore.

Ambrose, total make over.

Bell, number one all over, and more bracelets.

Anderson, will be made vice captain.

And Monty, team mascot.

Captain KP?

Random musings on the nation builder.

He is not English.

This is not the NBA.

Is there really a tactical brain in there?

He is South African.

You shouldn’t pick the man most likely to play in both squads, pick the best man in each squad.

He has hardly been a team player in the past when it comes to his batting position.

“It’s your nation”.

Which KP will captain, the flamboyant swiper, or the dour lost boy?

Will he be able to talk about himself in the third person?

Has he ever captained a cricket team before?

Arrogant Prick.

If he couldn’t play cricket, would he be let into the longroom?

What actual captaincy qualities has ever shown?

Too entertaining.

Will he be able to get into a rumour involving another players wife?

Remember when he had sore ribs and went home.

Will he be able to take the pressure of the vicious strikes the media will inflict on him.

The poor man’s Beckham

Ask KP a question

You know you have always wanted to, and now TWC are giving you the opportunity.

Go here, and leave your question, your name and place of whatever.

My question was, What is the definition of the word Nation?

They don’t want anything too rude, but if you have rude questions for KP, feel free to put them in my comments, as here at CWB we embrace that shit.
