Possibly one of the strangest things I have ever seen, a young German boy wearing a Pakistan cricket shirt.

“Sachin Tendulkar has become a member of the upper house of the Indian parliament”
Hmmm… Sounds like an innnnteresting political system over there in India…

Kenya: Maasai spear throwers-cum-cricketers.
The Sydney Sixers beat the Perth Scorchers by 7 wickets in the BBL final.
I watched it with Mum, recorded, later on.
With about 4 or 5 overs remaining, Mum admitted that she’d checked last night and knew the end score and then I admitted I accidentally learned the score this morning when I opened smh.com. Up until that point, we’d both lied to each other that we didn’t know the score so as not to ruin it for the other! Pretty cute.
I find it quite peculiar the way Indians idolise their cricketing heroes.
Sydneysider dies leaping into river while 'tubing' in Laos
Just the other day Pat and I were reminiscing about the season we played cricket for Banger Tavern A2’s and how disappointing a season it was. It was disappointing because we had to join a team as we didn’t have enough mates to make one on our own. Specifically, we talked about the captain of the team and how much of a dickhead he was.
Then I read that he died trying to pull off a stunt in Laos. Bit of a strange feeling knowing someone you didn’t particularly like has passed away…
RIP Lee.
The other day having a kick-around with the boys someone said Stuart MacGill has always reminded them of a waiter.
I agreed… His high right arm as he runs in to bowl looks like he’s holding a glass of wine (coincidentally, he loves wine), while he always has a tea towel in the front of his pants.
So, as I read the Cricinfo report for the Sixers match last night, I couldn’t help but laugh: “MacGill also impressed - despite his anger towards the umpire for having to remove his hand towel so as not to distract the batsman - finishing with 2 for 12 off his four overs.”
