Idle cricket musing

Pietersen is a right arm off spinner i.e. an orthodox ?finger spinner?. He uses his fingers to spin the ball rather than his wrist. An injury to the little finger on his right hand shouldn?t be a problem when batting and guarded in a glove but wrapping it around the ball over and over is probably not the best idea until it is healed.


That and the constant rush of blood and swelling (in the hand!) associated with bowling long spells is probably not good for an injury either.


He is in the squad for his batting anyway.


Either that or all this pretending to be a pom has turned him into a big girl?s blouse. ;-)

After being dismissed for 81 runs in their 1st innings against Sri Lanka the following statement has been issued from the England dressing room, ?It?s a shit game anyway!?


The tearful captain, Michael Vaughn said ?What do you expect from us, all dressed up in white and sent to stand on a field all day with nothing better to do than argue about who is going to get to rub the ball in their crotch??


Kevin Pietersen and Mat Prior were last seen heading for the next flight to South Africa dressed in khaki shorts and bush hats. When asked what they were doing they shouted something in Afrikaans that roughly translated means, ?You can take your county contracts and citizenship offers and stick them up your arse. We?re not playing anymore.?


Meanwhile Monty Panesar is refusing to speak to anyone and has taken to pensively sharpening a Ghurka knife on his shin pads and Steve Harmison and Paul Collinwood have started a petition to have all of England North of the river Tees re-zoned as Scottish.

Just to keep this thread alive, even though I seem to be the only one posting on it. I feel that I have some kind of duty to do so especially with all the jibber-jabbering on that other thread about football. Which as far as I can make out is some archaic form of soccer still played in remote and inaccessible corners of the British Isles.


Anyway the following article about Shane Warne is probably the biggest case of the pot calling the kettle black in sporting history.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
