World Cup 2011 (II)

The rest of my posts for the WC may as well be snippets of Zaltzman...

Shoaib Akhtar’s opening spell had been a microcosm of his career, a mixture of brilliance, wastefulness, and underachievement. He clean bowled Brendan McCullum with a perfect off cutter, beat a clutch of outside edges, touched 90mph, bowled three no-balls and conceded 14 from the resulting free hits, and needlessly hurled a ball so far over Kamran’s head for 4 byes that the beleaguered gloveman would have needed both a giraffe on a ladder and a functioning pair of hands to stop it. Neither of which, sadly, were at his disposal.

"Yeah, in la-la land. They top the group with 7 points!"

They can still fail to qualify for the quarterfinals.

see the sunshine after the rain?

You wanna see blue birds flying over the mountains again?

Actually that was a quote from some movie where an old coot, as he died, said this in his death rattle:

Ah wanna, Ah wanna, Ah wanna, Ah wanna................pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy.

And I can still get called up to the England squad. Not gonna happen though!

Sounds like a freakish film, was it a genuine snuff movie?

No a surprisingly funny movie (I thought) given that we'd rented it for the college dorm expecting soft-pron. Young Doctors In Love.

Haaa, sounds porny

Dello posts on the Cricinfo website, his gushing fanwanking is embarrassing:

With his ability to bowl at searing pace, maintain a McGrath-esque line and length, and of course his world renowned deceptiveness with the slowerball, Saj would have sparked England into life. We will never amount to much as long as we leave our best players at home I'm sure Saj will be firing on all cylinders come the County season and force his way back into contention. You'll see ECB.

Or possibly Sajid Mahmood.

So we have not only allowed the Irish a great shot at respectability but we also allowed the Dutch a shot at dictating terms at us. FFS, how crap is this Indian lineup?

definitely the team that does not deserve a QF seat for sure.

So it's official. Yuvraj is now just about a minnow basher who can't hold a bat against bigger teams.

Tied with England and played slightly less crappily than us against each of the minnows. SA match will be the big one, India could still top the group if they win it.

It's Peter Moores.

That's not Dello, not enough mention of horse features and manlove.

disgraceful stuff from dhoni at the end. its a 50 against holland in a group match ffs!! not a hundred in the finals

Not guilty. Nufcoms sounds like he's taking the piss.

If it was me, it would've been from the heart. Via the balls.

the Big Mah Moo remains a sad absentee from the WC

As he was from the last World Cup. Which he played in...

sage...the hole the Big Mah Moo both creates and leaves by his presence/absence is impossible to fill

...or the WACA' Big Bash recruiting team

Yivraj Singh is finally fulfilling his potential as the new Sobers

The Minnowinator?

are the ancient Minoans the ancestors of the WC minnows?

You tell us, h. You were there.
