ashes merchandise fail
I understand that the ashes is a big series that people want to make money off, and I understand the appeal of bobble heads, but in what world does this look like Ricky Ponting?
KP sort of looks like KP if he was trying to look like Guy Fawkes.
But, Ricky, well, he looks more like Josh Hazelwood’s ventriloquists dummy.
It should also be noticed that KP is not the captain of England.
I only say that incase Adidas didn’t know.
If you know who this “ricky” doll has been based on, feel free to link to that person in the comments.
The KP and Mitch relationship
While I may have an abusive relationship with Mitch, KP’s relationship with him is much different.
You only had to look into KP’s eyes while he denounced any possibility of having a relationship with Mitch to know it was something quite special.
Last week it was Mitch saying that KP was a smart ass and that KP hadn’t seriously asked for his number.
On the surface this could be just ashes byplay that means less than nothing other that keeping newspapers printing.
Ofcourse, that’s what they want you to think.
In truth this all started long ago when KP was playing in Brisbane and he saw Mitchell in his short plumbing shorts.
No it didn’t.
If you expect some sort of cricket slash story involving Mitch unclogging KP’s pipe this isn’t the place.
KP and Mitch have no relationship.
None whatsoever.
It wasn’t until last week that KP even knew Mitch existed. Before getting bowled he thought Mitch was a net bowler who kept accidently walking out on the pitch.
And Mitch still can’t tell KP from Trott. Cooley sent him out with a note that said, “KP is the one with the camp Saffa accent”, but Mitch couldn’t tell which one of them sounded like a camper.
Both men could be in the same elevator without any sexual tension being noticeable to a third party.
Their relationship is not professional or platonic, it simply fails to exist. Like Mitch’s inswinger a fortnight ago.
When Mitch was dropped (rested) and KP was (rested) dropped, they didn’t console each other. There were no soothing text messages or kind digital words of any kind.
Mitch just continued his gormless existence and KP went about his life in KP land.
Although, if they did have a sexual relationship…. No, can’t even try and go there, imagining that is worse than watching a Mitch short ball down the legside or KP sweeping Hauritz off his head. Although if you combine the two naked and that is exactly how they would go about it.
Greg Chappell land
Last night Greg Chappell said that Mitchell Johnson had been rested.
Mitchell Johnson said that Mitchell Johnson had been dropped.
Andrew Hilditch said Michael Beer would play and his knowledge of the WACA would be important.
Michael Beer didn’t play and Ponting has now said his knowledge of the conditions of Melbourne will help.
There are even rumours that the four man pace attack was not a plan but more an accident. Like Michael Beer’s selection.
Australia won this test.
I mean really won.
Smashed by an innings and coming back to win by over 200 runs.
How is it possible that this team with this band of merry muppets who don’t even seem to know what is going on around them can win a test so easily.
Especially when they not only beat England, but also the momentum of the Adelaide win.
I like to think that Australia beat England and Greg Chappell beat the momentum. It is his windmill and he rode that donkey straight for it.
Unfortunately the donkey still might not play next game, it was always going to be rested.
previously at the waca
Australia
The bowlers are doing so well it’s like they were on strike in Adelaide and forgot to inform the media.
England
It seemed that Strauss stopped captaining early on and rang the party organisers to move it to Melbourne.
Who will retain the ashes
England. Australia can’t keep this up. Mitchell is too Mitchell to be able to keep this up, and the rest seem to need a touch of Mitchell to get them started.
Play of the day
My friend Ruth claims she saw the nutsack of the streaker. If she did she saw what looked like two very white balls. Personally I thought the streaker was great because he found a way to trip himself up with his own pants before the security even got to him.
Testicular moment of the day
I suppose that goes to the streaker. Although Mike Hussey was pretty good too.
Working class moment of the day
People will remember that Chris Tremlett took a five wicket haul at the WACA. They will also remember that England lost and then they’ll sigh.
Weird factoid of the day
Hussey has now made 19 straight 50s in this ashes series. Maybe more.
previously at the waca
Australia
Well, who knew.
England
Entered the day looking like they could win the ashes by the weekend, ended the day wishing they hadn’t taken the piss out of poor lil Mitch.
Who’s in front
Australia should now win the match from here, although they are due a collapse in this innings.
Play of the day
Siddle and Prior were having a go at each other after Prior was very unlucky to get bowled. Ponting seemed to step in and try and settle Siddle down. Then he seemed to have a go at Prior. I like a man who can enter a conflict with the intention of making it better only to make it worse.
Testicular moment of the day
Cricketers all around the world are asking to be dropped so they can fly to the magical Adelaide nets and find the magic beans Mitchell used. On a day like this you can build up enough good faith to spend 6 tests in a row playing shithouse before getting dropped.
Working class moment of the day
Ian Bell played the most composed innings of the test. Had it not been for batting with the tail he wouldn’t have been dismissed in this series yet. And, he’s Ian Bell.
Weird factoid of the day
Mitchell Johnson swung more balls on one day of cricket than he has in his entire life.
Phil Hughes’ problem
It isn’t the short ball that does him in it’s form.
You don’t believe me?
Look at this…
That is Australia’s team manager.
He tweeted that while Hughes was batting.
It isn’t this bullshit about the short ball that Hughes has problems with, he just doesn’t have any form so he is working out his problems by being recalled to test cricket.
Thanks to Brett for the heads up.
