Played Schofields on Saturday without our best bowler AND batsman (same hyper talented 16yo) and without our regular wicketkeeper. Won a pretty close one day game.
Was good. I took a wicket, ended up 1/6 off 2 overs. Happy. Didnt bat real well (again) I seem to be having a real problem with hitting the ball this season.
We had a social match with 5th grade on Monday.
Lost
It was a social game when they wanted it to be a social game n turned serious whenever it looked like WE were getting in front. Hard to take being critisised by a 16yo batsman for my bowling ESPECIALLY when I had him dropped on Nought 2nd ball then missed being out stumped 4th ball (AFTER getting their captain out 1st ball. Big sus when the guy who dropped the catch is a mate of his too. Never mind.
In OUR team we rein our punk teenagers in , keep em on a short leash.
Bah
Mums' golden Labrador is staying with us for a week much to the delight of MY golden labrador. They get on like a house on fire. All one hears is the two of them raging up n down the side of the house and around the back yard.
I now have that alloy wheel for my Peugeot racer set up with the spear of the quick release from the steel wheel off the bike. Now all i gotta do is put the tyre n tube over. Which I willll get to stop hassling me ok! I havent been for much of a ride anywhere lately, Im a social rider n frankly its been too fucking hot for my liking - in this sort of heat when I start running or riding my asthma kicks in hard. THough i guess its not really asthma as the ventolin doesnt help its what my cardiologist in Bathurst reckons is a valve in my airway not being able to opneeither enough or fast enough to flow the air i need. Basically a phyical limitation. Like having too small a carby on a car. Last time i had issues with it I was training at the gym in Bathurst n getting pains in my chest n shortness of breath. Did the whole exercise stress test thing n theres nothing wrong with my ticker or my lung capacity - I just cannot physically FLOW enough air to fill the demand. So I ride when it isnt too hot or too cold. screw it I enjoy it why make it painful? Squadh n cricket is fer pain.
On a happier note I have lost 5of the annoying kilos I put on since moving down here last year. I have lost about 14cm round the chest too. When i get to 115kg I shall have reacquired equilibrium. Then i can start on getting under 110. And so on. The lowest Ive been since I got over my lower back injury/broken ankle/buggered knee has been 103kg which would be nice to get to again.
I DID do that with some chemical inducement however its true. Good old duromine (legal speed eh)and playing squash every day fer atleast 2 hours plus jogging round the block every night ,late, when noone could see fatboy run run fatboy run.
So fingers crossed. My goal is under 100kg. Then I shall be seeing some light at the end of a tunnel.
anyhoo
noone else is writitng their blogs lately so why should I?

hello world Im Mr Ed
Sometimes I feel like a talking horse. Everyone is amused but noone really listens or gives a fuck what you say.
Got accused of being a 'parent spectator' n turning someones blog into a shouting match (see *I* can misquote shit ppl say as well as anyone, except i generally choose not to). Heres the tip:
If you DONT want it commented on DONT put it on your blog! You poor folk who read mine can comment freely on anything said here whether you agree or disagree. If I dont like it but it makes sense Ima suck it up. N DONT fucking misquote me or adulterate what I say THEN have the NERVE to have a go at me for what YOU say I said which ISNT what i ACTUALLY said! Got it Leilani? The fact YOU commented is what turned it into a tennis match.Here it is... I couldnt give a shit about the 2nd n 3rd ppl involved in that sordid little triangle. I was only concerned for the welbeing of the person who's blog it is on the principle 'help your friends fuck your enemies' enemies losely stretched to include anyone *I* dont know. I could care less about the mental health of the 2 blokes involved. Dont know them dont care a shit. Worry about the gal whos blog it is however. So suck on that.
Cricket was called off this past weekend. PFFT
rain? that wasnt rain. That was some water falling from the sky in a generally downward direction. What was worse no hotties of ANY age group wandering about in 2/10 of fuck all cuz of the afforementioned water.
We have a grudge match with Bligh Park 5th grade on Monday (public holiday for Australia Day) hope we ahem heheh flog them like a rented mule (thanks Iron Mike that expression totally rocks).

sucked in Rivo
Talk about a revenge slaying!!
Rivo gold beat the snot out of our sadly depleted team last time we played them (8 versus 11).
As our american cousins say 'payback is a motherfucker'
i would say that indeed payback IS a motherfucker.
We flogged them yesterday.
Made them field for 3 hours in 35 degree heat while most of our side rested in the shade, also took advantage of the freshly mown grass (to the editors of the Sydney Morning Herald.. grass is freshly MOWN not mowed... the grass is mown, I MOWED the grass... do they even go to SCHOOL anymore b4 being given jobs at newspapers? SRW english does not appear to apply).
In essence we got full value for strokes played as the grass was short. Made them run about in the heat. When THEY batted the grass was longer n the ball stopped faster which meant shots we got 4 for they got 1 or 2 if they were lucky.
AND theyd been out in the heat of the day whereas we fielded in the heart of a nice southerly cool change which hit as we were taking the field. This didnt help their batsmen as much as it might have as they were already suffering dehydration n a touch of heat stroke. So fuck em. I looked their captain fair in the eye n said 'not as easy to beat us when we have ELEVEN on the field is it??'
Arseholes.
Next week we play the other Riverstone side which we beat outright in round 1. Id like to beat them outright again.

Real Cricket
Theres a whole world of curfuffle going on right now about 'racial' sledging.
I reckon if you get paid to do something you LOVE you should take it on the chin.
They wanna pay me all that money to play cricket they can call me what the hell they like when they like. I couldnt GIVE A FUCK. Every time someone sledges me when I play cricket I mentally tick the 'I'm beating these pricks' box. Cuz sledging generally occurs when they cant think of another way to defeat you.
If someone gave me a drive in the WRC the other drivers could badmouth me all they liked. Couldnt care less. When I play squash I dont care a jot if the other player is carrying on - it ALWAYS means youre winning. The ONLY time I care what theyre saying is if they think Ive broken the rules (IE cheated intentionally). The only time I kick up a fuss is if rules are being broken (double bounces being my most fave peeve playing squash fucking COUNT the bounces unpire its that simple!) Otherwise I care not if the other guy is whinging about something. Means I am winning.
Youre all grown men. GET OVER IT. How would these babies go if they were in the Army n sent to Iraq? How would they carry on getting SHOT at? Call it not fair? Stiff shit.
I know Australia has a rep for sledging which I for one am not that proud of. However EVERY other test side on the planet does it. It is STILL sledging, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka when you say it in your own language. south Africa, just cuz you abuse someone in afrikaans doesnt mysteriously render it not 'sledging' fuckign whingers. Admit it
the REAL reason youre all peeved is cuz you CANT WIN. Whinge about our umpires being biased (Subcontinent take a look at your OWN backyard at least our umpires dont get DEATH threats), so we now have international umpires. Result? STILL whinge about umpiring. NEver when it hurts the Australian side. Always when youre on the end of a rough call.
Here is a tip.
TRY umpiring a game yourself. Try it at Bligh Park 7th grade if you want. Come on see how fucking well YOU do at it. It isnt easy. I reckon I am a pretty good umpire (know the important rules AND a few obscure ones) n have a good look b4 deciding. I reckon my team is the ONLY one in 7th that gives LBW decisions regularly. some others give them when to NOT would involve charges of cheating. But otherwise they are few n far between. It simply is NOT as easy as it looks.
Having said all that
Ponting MUST go. He is a spoilt spoonfed prat. I blame Steve Waughs' influence.
Ponting is unimaginative as a captain. He carries on like a child when something goes against him. He sets a bad example for the other players in the side. I fear Michael Clark will follow his example. Make Mike Hussey captain now. The bloke is respectful and knowledgeable.
bah
sucking the life out of a wonderful game they are.
I think I shall have to take up squash again.

we wanna we wanna wii cricket game
so why cant we get a wii cricket game?
seems like a bloody NATURAL
one site suggested it wouldnt be popular enough...
apparently EVERY Wii owned in australia, New Zealand, South Afrca, India, Pakistan and the UK isnt enough platforms?
I frnakly cant believe they DIDNT launch it with a cricket game
the baseball game is POX ridden.
The boxing game is fun plus though.
tennis was ok
they should do a Wii game fer squash too. Itd be awesome.
Cant find the charger for my Motorola razr
spewing. It isnt at the gurls parents they checked
it isnt in any of our bags
we went through ALL of them

bloody melbourne mkII
How hot does ti get here??!!?? Hottest day von record here on New years day by 0.1 degree celsius (all degrees hereon are celsius - we went metric 30 years ago- catch up america). No doubt the 'global warming drones will be beating us over the head wit h that... refusing to accept that the previous record was set in 1900!! Suffer in ya jocks ya basts. Credible proof folks CREDIBLE. Not NOT NOT vested interest groups flogging their own agendas.
Like ya cats name mike! LOL eh rockape its Scipio Africattus. One after our own eh... I had a big healthy fern at uni called Leonidas. had 2 dogs perseos n Kerberos. I stick with charlie n bill etc now. The cat is Rory (after Rory Calhoun cuz when he was a kitten he did that standing up thing... ok ok its a Simpsons ref... )
going home to NSW tomorrow. Thank
god
They are the worst drivers in Australia down here. Ive driven in Queensland. Ive driven in The Australian Capital Territory. Ive driven in South Australia. Ive driven in the Northern Territory. Ive driven in fuggin CALIFORNIA. Ive driven in Fiji. NOWHERE was it worse than Victoria. Hell the mad bastards in Singapore n Malaya are better disciplined than here. I know I didnt drive while there i caught taxis... but I have eyes n DO observe.
I hate driving here. I hate being a passenger here. Everyone is just so bloody hostile n angry when they drive down here. They check their brains at the damn door when they pick up the keys to their cars. They should be ashamed of themselves.
On a brighter note the hot weather saw a marked upswing in the amount of female flesh on display. niiice.
