Hi Ho All,
Well what a few weeks it has been.
So much has slipped my mind but a few things stick out.
Shane Warne is doing his best to portray himself as a complete knob ...
Andrew Symonds, working hard to become a complete knob decides a spot
of fishing is on the cards instead of going to a meeting. I have no
real problem with this, but evidently CA does, as do the rest of the
Australian team. I suspect there is a bit more to "going fishing" than
meets the eye. Anyway, Shane "tattoo knob on my head" Warne decides
that what Symmonds has done is show a complete disrespect to Australia
and his team mates. A convicted drug cheat and bookie's money taker
says going fishing is bad. If I was up for swearing, this is where I'd
say "F*** Me Warney, pull you're head in, you knob!".
Some days it's hard to understand how we can accept in life the antics
of winners, no matter how bad they are.
I was actually wondering if the whole fishing saga was merely an excuse
to stop Symmonds going to India. After the last two series between
them, it seems Symmonds is the centre of far too much negative press.
So be it instigated by Australia, India or both, I wouldn't be
surprised that folks higher up than the Australian team decided that it
would be best if he just didn't go. When you think about it, for
missing a team meeting he has been suspended for four tests and a hand
full of one day games. Pretty damn severe if you ask me.
On the good news front we have the Australian tour of India to look
forward to. The last couple of tours have been two of my favourites,
level at one a piece. Cracking battles over many games with too many
highlights to name. They have been somewhat dulled by India's tours
here, again moreso the media and all that crap than the actual cricket.
This time round I see India as favourites by a mile. Not only do India
have the team to do the damage, but Australia clearly doesn't. On the
face of it, they have the batsmen to save a test or two, but they don't
have the bowlers to win it. Even the President's XI is playing merry
hell with them. I have next to no knowledge of ground conditions from
ground to ground, but I would have thought the current score line
doesn't bode well. Whatever the case, I'm certainly keen for next
thrusday and the many little battles that the last few series have
produced being repeated.
Cheers
Christopher
