A Farewell to Beige, Cream and Off-White Jackets: The Official Cape of Good Hope 2009/10 Cricket Season Thread

this is unfolding like some kind of sisyphean nightmare

if pakistan lose they should be kicked out of world cricket forever for being pissweak

I don't think you would truly want to kick out the Karachi Globetrotters and their wonderful beards.

they do bring entertainment to the masses with their hilarious collapses!

but this would be too much. too painful. they can stick around in twenty20 and KFC BIG BASH. their most talented player is, I notice, pulling up trees for the Redbacks with his dynamic all-round beard

If you had a choice between sweating it out in Dubai for the Globetrotters or playing for the glory of Sudaustralien on the lovely Adelaide Oval, then it would be obvious. But they all can't be Shahid Afridi and besides, teams like New Zealand and Sri Lanka have to play against *someone*

this is terrible. exciting but terrible. i didn't think pakistan was capable of this.

In other news, our friends at KFC help manage to get some good publicity for Cricket in the United States.

I knew I should have paid $50 and skipped work to see this, the old magic of Mr. Cricket returning to save Australia!

Instead I'm watching it on telly at work which means a close up shot of Peter Siddle during a lunch interval interview.

felt highly visible as a neutral when everyone around me was screaming and losing their shit and i was remaining seated, politely clapping. think i got away with it! phew.

lucky that you didn't get outed as a pom or even worse, south african

South Australia proves yet again that it is the greatest state in the world with another KFC BIG BASH triumph, this time over the HATED Victorians, even recalling the great days of Aussie Rules State of Origin Football.

South Australia IS the greatest state in the world! And they'll prove it in a) the KFC BIG BASH GRAND FINAL AT THE MAJESTICALLY BEAUTIFUL ADELAIDE OVAL and b) the AIRTEL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.

anyway I am going to see NSW vs Queensland tonight and I just found out that Daniel Vettori is playing for the Bulls??

yeah, homebush at 7! just ilx'ed you me number as well.

wish i cd bro down @ cricket with all this ilxors ;_;

They don't have a Members stand at Homebush, Louis. You'd be too confused, unable to concentrate of Lavender Bracken's return from injury and would find yourself leaning against a policeman asking you to take off your sunglasses so he can see if you're drunk or not.

You call this cricket? Where's Dean Jones? Where's a good defensive nudge? I demand a glass of madeira and a game pie. Address me as Sir. Rude upstarts.

THEY DONT HAVE "PIMMS SNAKES" YOU BLADDY WOWSER DO THE BLADDY MEXICAN WAVE POM
