First World Cricket hypocrisy

When I am not in full focus on bodacious babes , I fancy a good game of cricket.

The NFL pre-season has started, but I have not yet watched a full game. Hopefully when the season begins in earnest I will be ready to go.

But, back to cricket, here is an article by Mikey Holding, for those of you who are cricket afficionados. Finally, someone has spoken up about the double standards employed by the 'cricketing establishment'.

Amazingly, I have not seen a single article or read a single report in which Darrel Hair, the Australian umpire in the middle of the controversy, sets out which Pakistani player tampered with the ball, and what are the particulars of such tampering. He really needs to quit, and I believe by his offer to do so (along with a payment) he has admitted wrongdoing. He must go, in my view.

It seems it is no coincidence that he was the same umpire who cited Murali in 1996 for throwing. Believe me, when England, in particular, see Murali grinning, they go dizzy with fright.

They can stand when Murali tears them apart with his spin, which is better than Shane Warne's, despite the stats.

Here, is another example of the snotty behaviour of the 'cricket establishment'. Australia has asked for the umpires at the Ashes to be local. Seems to me they want no Asians or West Indians - What do you think?

Look at cricketing in South Africa, Australia & New Zealand. The instances of indigenous persons playing for those nations have been few. This is not purely because their previous colonisers introduced the game.

Do you think it was a coincidence that Ntini, the first Black African to play for South Africa, was wrongfully convicted, then acquitted of rape?

Amazing, the amount of 'politics' in cricket. One could go on for ages.

Bloggage

Firstly, for those of you who were taken aback by the photograph displayed on my last post, I come before you with a contrite heart, having properly recognised the error of my ways. In order to make amends, I have instead posted another hi5 bomba with a view to my rehabilitation to your good books, or as I heard a pompous lawyer say recently, hopefully this will return me to "good stead".

I stole on this occasion those words in quotes (above) from an email between me and a few of my former colleagues in this here much vaunted legal profession.

One of those dear counsel was saying that "at my firm salary reviews are imminent, and all are waiting in anticipation of a windfall. In a forthcoming issue of Legal Global (I have used a fictitious publication name to protect the guilty) I have been featured, which should stand me in good stead (for promotion).

Since I left the law firm world, I had begun to forget how pretentious and silly that whole world is. And to think I once worked in such environs. If I go back to work at a large law firm, please feel free to shoot me - because if you don't, you surely will when I start using self serving, flowery language like "stand me in good stead".

To close, please contemplate the assets of this young bomba featured above. Please attempt to complete the review of the text of this post prior to fixating on the bad gyal.

Enjoy the rest of your week, and I look forward to your comments, especially on whether you were able to complete the reading of the text without looking at her.

Peace.

Hey bloggionistas, wha ya dealin wid?

Folks, my last post, as you can see was very brief. (Please complete the reading of this post, if you can, before fixating on the animal shown at left). As I type this one, each word is being thought out. God only knows what to say these days. This one will only be a quickie as well. What can I say, a quickie is better than none (not with the lady shown of course, more time and energy would be appropriate for that).

I see where some poor 60 year old lady caused United Airlines to make an unscheduled stop, and Uncle Sam pulled no punches, locked the lady up, escorted the plane down with F-16 fighters, deplaned all pasajeros, put all luggage on the ramp, bomb sniffing dogs, and the Lord only knows what else. Have mercy.

Call it old age, call it what you may, but I am now getting into my gardening, folks. Feel free to reserve my spot in the nursing home, or at least order some drugs for senility.

Lastly, in case you missed her, please feast your eyes on the hottie I saw on hi5 earlier today. All things bright and beautiful, the Lord God made them all.

Amen.

Tings a gwaan (Jamaican) but i na know wha it is (Caymanian)

Folks - I trust you are all doing well, and if not, here's hoping that matters will improve.

On cricket, I noticed that Murali and the rest of the Sri Lankans have whitewashed South Africa, thank goodness for that -

On cycling, I do not know what to make of the Landis scandal, as all parties concerned are claiming propriety

On athletics, it seems Asafa may soon regain his sole domination of sprinting excellence, and Gatlin and his coach might be disgraced -

On Jamaican independence, happy independence to those who were celebrating it -

and lastly but not least - RIP Miss Lou, and Walk good -
