Grumpy Ol openers

Ol’ Marvin took a swipe at selectors.

He called them muppets, funny cause I had just written a blog where I called the Sri Lankan team muppets.

Must be the in thing to say.

Nothing better than a current player saying what he actually feels, even if he is older than Mark Waugh’s ex girlfriend.

Even better when he attacks selectors, who have made this tour by Sri Lanka a waste of time.

Atta boy Marvin.

The Trevor Hohns 11

I’m back on deck as long as Uncle J-Rod keeps the language down.

I’d like to pay homage to those players over the 10 or so years who have played test cricket for Australia who have had little or no ability whatsoever, but must have had incriminating photos of Trevor Hohns. I know the side is stacked with bowlers, but our batsman have been pretty steady. Seeing though the selectors couldn’t pick a 12, I have picked 14 players to tour whichever fifth world country would like to play us!!!

  • Greg Blewett – had an absolute gaping technique flaw – it was as wide as the area between his bat and his bad when he played straight
  • Matthew Elliot – Unfortunately he could play a bit, just not for Australia!!!
  • Brad Hodge – he talks the talk but never walks the walk – just another “talented Victorian”
  • Simon Katich (VC) – walks more around the crease than Burke and Wills did when trekking across Australia
  • Stuart Law – Still can’t even get a game with the Poms… and I’ll never forgive him for costing us the 1996 World Cup
  • Phil Emery – how did this bloke keep Darren Berry out of the side
  • Michael Kasprowicz (C) – the bloke with the fattest a$$ in world cricket, never swung the ball, never moved the ball off the wicket, I ask again, why did he play 38 tests????
  • Sean Young – like his namesake actress, useless in all aspects of the game
  • Gavin Robertson – Steve Waugh’s bumbuddy helped him get this gig
  • Paul Wilson – Blocka. Bowled like he was blocked up too!
  • Brad Williams – the worst Australian cricketer ever to wear the Baggy Green
  • Scott Muller – Can’t Bowl Can’t Throw… I think that says enough
  • Mathew Nicholson (Who??? Oh yeah that bloke)
  • Simon Cook – See Mathew Nicholson

Enjoy, Big Daddy

the tongue

The Australian selectors have told Brad Hogg he may get a call up to the test team.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I cannot believe anyone would ever pick this guy as a test bowler.

He has played 92 first class games, and taken 160 wickets. My strike rate with women is better than that. In those 92 games he averages 40 with the ball. And he’s played county cricket.

My rule is if you’ve played county cricket and your stats are still shit, your shit.

Did I mention he’s 36?

If your gonna pick an old spinner, at least pick one like Stuart MacGill who actually takes wickets.

If he’s being picked as an all rounder, then why not pick a 24 year old named Cameron White, who averages less with the ball, more with the bat, and doesn’t stick his tongue out like a retard.

Now as much as I’ve bagged the man, he has done well in one dayers. He is helped that by the time he bowls there are usually 4 wickets gone and middle order batsmen have to either attack him, or sit on him to conserve wickets. However you still have keep the pressure on and get the results, and he has done that more or less for 4 years now.

But fuck me anally.

Let’s not pick a spinner on his one day form. We know that one day spinners aren’t really spinners. They are darters, sliders and door knob salesman.

Now obviously the selectors read my blog, so I hope I’ve convinced them.
