If you’re going to get flogged, get flogged in style

Me no blog much lately. New baby and all that.

Tell ya what though, it’s great for watching sport. Unless that sport is cricket. Here’s Kevin Pietersen making Scott Styris look like a one dimensional medium pace journeyman who’s retired from all non-pyjama cricket in a ‘come get me’ shout to any cashed-up Indian league after a one dimensional medium pace journeyman. At least ‘Scotty’ isn’t the first he’s done it to.

And hey, cruising youtube I stumbled on this guy – he does Macca’s Warney stance and captain Dan’s pull and cut shots. It’s brilliant – and handily, 2 minute’s distraction from the fact we’re getting flogged at any and every format going. If we had a hit against England at the local indoor cricket centre, we’d be leaving with tails between legs. It’s bloody depressing. I even found myself reading Adam Parore and silently nodding, for god’s sake. Yes, it’s that bad.

What’s the solution? Fark knows. Hopefully once the wee man (he looks like a batsman,  not like the old man) settles in a bit, a bit more smart arse-bloggery will help a bit. Righto.
