I looked up Good Charlotte on wikipedia just out of interest.

quote:

Billy Martin is an active vegetarian, and won PETA's vegetarian of the year. In the past they actively supported PETA's animal rights campaigns. Members of the group recorded a track, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", on PETA's Liberation CD and appeared at PETA's 25th Anniversary Gala and Humanitarian Awards Show. Group members have also demonstrated against KFC's treatment of chickens.

However, the band have since seemed to change their stance on animal rights. In 2012 and 2013, band members heavily promoted Kentucky Fried Chicken in a series of Australian television commercials, leading to charges of hypocrisy.

I know it's my fault for listening to the TV commentary team, but will someone please buy them a dictonary and a thesaurus? The bloody muppets only know one adjective - "unbelievable" - and they not only use it in every sentence but never in the right context. They've even infected The Huss. Morons.

England's ODI batting coach is now Graham Thorpe. I do not know how I feel about this.

Don't know how he'll end up as a coach, but he was comfortably England's best batsman for nearly ten years. Scored runs in both forms of the game in a harder era for batting as well.

India having a shithouse time of this ODI so far, hope England rip through them.


The T20 last night sucked. Just watched the end of a Shield game where SA had to get like 30 runs with 3 wickets in hand and only just got there. Way more tension in that than any point of the game last night.

Also no inane banter from washed up cricketers (although I <3 Huss).

I was just looking at the scorecard for this match. The opener Raphael was 27 not out from 60 balls, yet the number 6, Head, faced 74 balls and the number 8, Ludeman, faced 79. What the hell? Does Raphael hate the strike or something?

Wait the same odi series that I watched NZ bore their way to 20 runs in 10 overs? SA running themselves out to lose a series may be hilarious but it is not good cricket.

Might be this game.

also some guy called Akila Dananjaya is making his debut.

E; Not his debut, apparently

Henriques is out of the first two ODI's against the West Indies with injury as well. Probably a good thing.

e:

Akila Dananjaya sparked controversy when he was picked in the preliminary squad for the 2012 World Twenty20, despite never having played a professional match in his life.

It was clearly the NatWest tri-series before the 2005 Ashes between England, Australia and Bangladesh.

Bangladesh beating Australia, Simon Jones and Hayden squaring up against each other, Paul Collingwood scoring 100* and taking 6 wickets in the same match, Harmison generally being a big bully, Andrew Symonds turning up drunk but still smashing sixes, and an exciting final that turned into a tense low scoring match and ended in a tie.
