To bring you a late breaking fuck up.

'THANK goodness the chucker has been ruled out of the World Cup. He will not be missed. He does not belong on a cricket field anywhere, let alone representing his country in the game's most prized event'.

What he should have written...

[Tony.T]

Took the words right out of my post, Nick.

"Akhtar's willingness to mess with the ball was evident in the same contest. Although they were loath to admit it, the umpires repeatedly scrutinised the ball and were clearly unhappy with its condition. Subsequently, Akhtar's county colleagues talked openly about the methods he used to disrupt the ball.

Shahid Afridi, a fellow traveller, was just as brazen. No wonder umpires keep a wary eye on their comrades. Darrell Hair might have overstepped the mark at the Oval but his concerns were well founded."

So what's the Spanky solution - send in the UN? If the ICC had one cag half the size of one of Hairs world cricket would be better for it. The Spanky non-solutions are all bark.

[Tony.T]

Correct.

I deem the old saying "All over the place like a mad woman's shit" to now be "all over the place like a mad Spanky's article".

If all the teams just sat on the beach, and they replayed the Champions Trophy on TV, would anyone care?

So how come, in Spankyworld, Shoaib's a chucker but Murali's not?

Nick: That reminds me. Is the Beach Bolloxxxx still going?

Gaz: To paraphrase Spankles "It doesn't matter for spinners. They don't bowl fast enough to matter."

Tony: Mad woman's shit indeed.

Tony: Mad woman's shit indeed.

[os]

stoppit you two, you're making me go cross eyed.

[Scott Wickstein]

Hey Gaz, isn't it about time you took up blogging again?

[chrisl]

Does anybody else think that Pascoe is looking more and more like Dalziel?

[Tony.T]

It's the other was around; Dalziel is trying to look like Pascoe.

JTS.

Just found out that this is what the kids are singing at school these days:

"I believe I can fly
but I was shot by the FBI.
All I wanted was a chicken wing,
but they shot me in the ding-a-ling."

Very inventive IMO with an appropriate disregard for the R Kelly's mawkish sentiments. I wonder if your TAFE kids can come up with anything better?

[Scott Wickstein]

In AFL news, what I want to know is why didn't Hawthorn didn't take the opportunity to play the song "He aint heavy, he's my brother" over the PA at Launceston yesterday?

It would have been the mother of all sledges. Opportunities like that shouldn't be wasted.

[Tony.T]

Pat: Apologies to C Berry, too.

Wicky: Launceston are gunshy after last year' siren-fiasco-brouhaha-ruckus-gate.

[Scott Wickstein]

I guess so, Tony.

Maybe we should send him a sympathy card via the Carlton FC then? Or ads to funeral homes and the like?

There's really no limit to my depravity, I know.

[Tony.T]

Can you believe they missed the siren again at Launceston?

I thought, after last year's fark-up, they'd installed one of those 1950's air-raid sirens driven by a chevvy engine.

[carneagles]

Actually, if this story is correct, a gun might not be a bad thing for them to have handy. At least they'd hear it.

[Scott Wickstein]

They aren't very horny in Tasmania then?

[carneagles]

That'll teach me for not hitting refresh.

What they need is one of these little beauties. They'd hear it in Portsea on a good day.

[Tony.T]

Wicky: Boom. Tish.

Carny: Yeah, that's the baby. (Good to see you haven't been snaffled by the CCC.)

[Russell Allen]

I think ball tampering should be mandatory for the World Cup. Every player should be assigned sandpaper for varying qualities. You never know it may make the run totals slightly lower
