Suave's Republique Cricket

I’ve been too busy at work and home to really knock anything of substance out, over the last couple of days.

There are two things that are boring my pants off today, and that is…

This Indian/Australian bullshit.  Can we stop now.  I mean right now, hey you! stop blogging about it, or I’ll cut your fingers off!

 What I would like to say though, is happy birthday to Rahul Dravid.  He’s been in a shocking run of form recently, but seems to be finding his feet again.  It would be nice to see him end the tour of Australia on a high, and then smash the Saffers into the ground when they visit at the end of Summer.  

South Africa v West Indies.  Bloody hell, they’ve just declared 417 runs in front, with over three days to go..  This will be shit, unless Shiv can bat for a couple of days on his own. I expect this to last until the end of tomorrow, and they can all have a few days off, which will be nice.

Graeme Smith is almost as annoying as Matthew Hayden.  He actually looks as though he wants to be him.  He’s a flat track bully, and he’s got a beautiful girlfriend, so therefore must be hated by one and all.

I actually heard that he eats kittens and puppies for elevenses, the fat fuck.  At least Haydos has the balls to eat actual orphan children!  Oh dear god, I think whilst typing this, my hate for Matthew Hayden has fallen below that of Graeme Smith for the first time in history.  This can only end badly, with missing children, kittens, puppies and the four horseman of the apocalypse appearing on the horizon.

Run for the hills, is all I can say!

On a lighter note,

Andre Nel, however is wonderful, and I saw a great quote on Cricinfo.com by Rahul Bhattacharya

“I did not find Andre Nel offensive; I found him silly, endearing and entertaining. To take him seriously was to miss something”

As I’m sure Uncle J Rod at Cricket With Balls would agree with.

That’s about all I can think of at the moment, and it’s late friday afternoon.   I need beer and curry, or tea and crumpets.
