The Team for India (with some guy from South Australia)
Posted: September 2nd, 2010, 1:30pm MDT by Sidthegnomenator
Here it is. It is, as usual, very Blue: Simon "I never got my chance to be captain" Katich Michael "when can I be captain?" Clarke Ricky "I'm still the bloody captain, dammit!" Ponting Doug "Sid quite likes me and that's the way I like it" Bollinger Peter "Who the hell am I?" George Nathan "I am Sid's Lord" Hauritz Josh "Me? Really?" Hazlewood Ben "I'm back, baby!" Hilfenhaus Phillip "At least I didn't swear, Kevo" Hughes Michael "I'm old but I'm still scary" Hussey Mitchell "Can -
Twitter Cockups
Posted: August 31st, 2010, 5:00pm MDT by Sidthegnomenator
So KP did something a wee bit silly and announced to the Twitter world (no mean feat, in light of his 29,000+ followers) that he was dropped from the T20 side. And he used a swear word, the bad little boy. Fucking idiot. But, of course, he is not the first cricketer to write silly things on twitter - we all remember little Philly Hughes, don't we? He did the same thing, but didn't swear (because his Mum would've grounded him). Here are some examples of other tweets that the relevant cricketing bodies...

*BREAKING NEWS!* Another match fixing scandal!
Posted: August 29th, 2010, 3:20pm MDT by Sidthegnomenator
This morning I was emailed a video, which dates from July 20th 2010 - the day before the 2nd test between Australia and Pakistan at Headingley. The video, which I have now sent onto the ICC, shows a representative of the ECB paying money to Mohammad Amir, Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif of the Pakistan cricket team. In return for the money, Amir and Asif were to pull their fingers out and actually play so well against Australia, in the test starting the following day, that the Aussies would be dismissed for a painfully low figure -...

The People's Choice Awards for Cricket
Posted: August 28th, 2010, 10:00am MDT by Sidthegnomenator
Have you heard about the ICCs People's Choice awards? Really? What are you, new? Go here. Then come back and continue reading. The 5 people available for you to vote for are Mike Hussey, Jayawardene, Tendulkar, AB De Villiers and an inanimate rod. Now, you know I want to Mussey to win it. Are there reasons? Yes. If you want to read them go to Ian's blog. I don't go in for all that shit. I'm a busy girl. So here's my case for the Muss:... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ...

The Pakistan Effect
Posted: August 27th, 2010, 7:52pm MDT by Sidthegnomenator
So Stuey Broad got a century today at Lord's. Not only may this prove that there is no God, but already I have been asked three times if Australia will be worrying about Broad's batting in the Ashes. And I have no doubt there will be much speculation in the British media in the next few days. It's quite annoying. So, will Australia be worried about Broad's batting? Only as much as England will be worried about North's bowling, you know what I'm saying?... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ...

Ponting's team meeting, as it happened.
Posted: August 24th, 2010, 3:42pm MDT by Sidthegnomenator
An article appeared on cricinfo yesterday in which Ponting said the Ashes should not be the entire focus of Australia's current thinking, because they have the tour to India and some ODIs against Sri Lanka before that series begins. Last night I was on the phone to Steve Smith - he likes me to read him a bedtime story every night when he's away from his mummy - and he let slip some of the things Punter had said in a team meeting yesterday. With only a small amount of coersion from me (No lollipops were... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ...

ICC Award Nominations 2010
Posted: August 23rd, 2010, 10:39am MDT by Sidthegnomenator
Since there's still no news on the team for the tour to India (I know it's a bit early, but do they ever think of me??), I thought we could have a look at the nominees for this year's ICC awards. Plus it's another opportunity to laugh at Graeme Swann, and that's always fun, right? So, here they are: The nominees in the "Cricketer of the year" category are: Hashim Amla (SA) Doug Bollinger (Aust) Michael Clarke (Aust) MS Dhoni (Ind) Ryan Harris (Aust) Mitchell Johnson...

Poor Little Gray
Posted: August 20th, 2010, 11:00pm MDT by Sidthegnomenator
Dear you mean, mean people at the ICC, How could you possibly not include my little Graeme on your list of cricketers of the year? He's such a lovely boy - he always knits with me on Sundays, when he isn't playing, and never drinks more than one white wine spritzer at a time. Of course, that's enough to make him very very drunk but that's only because he is a sensitive boy. I think you should reconsider. From Mrs Swann ***** Dear ICC,...

Well, I'm back ... what have I missed?
Posted: August 20th, 2010, 10:49am MDT by Sidthegnomenator
All English players were, quite rightly, left off the long list for ICC Cricketer of the Year but then someone had a wee hissy and they conceded that they should put someone on there. So they drew names out of a hat and got Graeme Swann - poor bastards. My Lord is (almost) officially going to India. Still no news on who will be joining him, though. Something dodgy happened in a match between India and Sri Lanka. Apologies have been issued. Graeme Smith stood down as South Africa's T20... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ...
