Sleeping wicketkeeper

Morne Van Wyk

I’ve heard of sleeping policemen but this takes the cake.

Morne van Wyk kept wicket for S.A. against India on Saturday, his performance was shoddy to say the least.

Morne who didn’t attempt a catch off Sehwag early on, missed at least one stumping and according to my newspaper today ‘looked a little soporific’ has admitted that instead of taking a vitamin supplement prior to the match he mistakenly took a sleeping tablet! (link)

Dope!

India v S.A.

“400+ bring back Alan Donald” was the text I received from a rooinek presently holidaying here, India were on 2 hundred and plenty and seemed heading that way.

Funny radio ad

Our national broadcaster is very kindly broadcasting every game of the cricket world cup, I always have a match on while driving around here and this ad is flighted reasonably often, it always makes me smile. So I thought that a few cherished colleagues might like it.

Here it is: funny ad (Simply click and select ‘open’ when prompted)

Enjoy!

They’ve got to go!

Andrew Hilditch - Chairman of Selectors
Tim Nielsen - Team Coach
Don’t take my word for it – this is Michael Slater‘s verdict.   Though I have to say I agree whole-heartedly with him. 

When a team fails, the coach is for the chop!   It’s tradition.   Between them, these two gentlemen are the primary cause of the decline in Australian cricket.   Sure, Punter and Pup have done their bit to guarantee defeat, but who decided Hauritz wouldn’t play – who kept Cameron White out of the side – sacked Andrew Symonds and ensured that Shane Warne would retire last year?

That’s right – these two crims!   Find ’em a quiet spot in the top paddock, and forget ’em! 👿
