How to weed this out?

In Punjabi culture, comparing a person to a plant or tree is considered extremely offensive and is an extremely racist slur. The entire Sikh and Punjabi community, and indeed India is up in arms over this racist slur by one among the pack of wild dogs (not my comparison call Peter Roebuck!). The nation is demanding that this racist slur be punished to the fullest!

OK so I am kidding. But it seems like these guys just can't learn to keep their mouths shut. Its gone beyond disgust now and just become a really bad taste in the mouth that keeps recurring. It seems like there really are no boundaries to the arrogance, audacity and maliciousness of this Australian team. As a cricket fan again I'm quite aghast at what this Australian team has reduced the game to, trampling its spirit into the mud and brazenly claiming this as a victory for sport at the altar of patriotism. The reception most Australian players save Brett Lee will get in India will be interesting to say the least.

Tribute

It seems that Andrew Symonds has still not moved on with his life, now dabbing eyes and sniffling in public saying " I am a straight forward guy " and other such rubbish. Hypocrisy at alarming levels that. All this rubbish by Symonds, Ponting and sections of Australian fans and the media have completely eclipsed what should have been a shining guard of honour for two cricketers who will surely go down as all time greats.

Shaun Pollock quietly announced an end to an incredible career over which he managed 3800 test runs and 421 test wickets.

And of course Gilly. Gilly who inspired and entertained and delighted. Arguably the best wicketkeeper batsman of all time. Thanks Gilly: take a bow...they don't make 'em like you anymore.

Dibble Dobbles

Will Buckley (whoever he is) writes an article aimed at being humourous in the Guardian newspaper. While explaining how Australia crumbled at Perth he writes:

The extent of the crisis they were facing was evident when the first sentence I heard on Thursday morning was 'and that's RP Singh's fourth wicket'. The Australians had crumbled. Confused by dibble-dobble seamers who were neither one thing nor the other."

Another case of an inept writer making statements on a game he barely understands. I find it astounding how, because of the increasing thirst to lap up anything cricket these days, any idiot can access print space to spew rubbish; to see this in the Guardian is doubly surprising. RP Singh's away swingers at 140 + kmph and Ishant Sharma's spell to Ponting are dibble dobbles? Obviously little Willy's never held a bat and have to face up to a new ball.

One ball Willy...why don't you pad up and play one ball from RP and you'll know how dibble dobble it really is. Maybe the standard of English cricket has allowed writers there to forget what the game is really like. Very understandable.
