				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	I've decided I am over cricket. There are a number of reasons and here they are:

I live in England, a world where Graeme Swann is celebrated and people hope Ricky Ponting will retire.

Cricket is a world where the fans are in uproar about potential match-fixing - for a couple of days. After that they are just "over it".

That there were match fixing allegations to begin with is enough to put me off cricket. Do people seriously get a kick out of betting on no-balls? The words "get a <h5> ... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ... </h5> ]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	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 <h5> ... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ... </h5> ]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	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 - <h5> ...

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:

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	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?<h5> ... [ Click on title to read the original article ] ... </h5> ]]></content:encoded>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	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.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[	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)
