Super 15’s: (semis)

If I told you I know any more about the Reds’ pummelling of the Blues 30-13 at the Suncorp other than I told you so last week then I’d be a herring in a fish bowl full of cats with the wool pulled over their tiny-winy cute little oval eyes. However, if the claws were to scratch the gills of me nethers then I’d have to confess to possessing an incline of try-line deficits in the Reds’ favour to the tune of 4-1. So the Brisbane mob go into next weeks final with a brigade of fully fit merchants, well, at least those who turned out for this semi, and despite their run of almost smooth operations from day one of this tournament will come unstuck to the other semi-finalists - / Crusaders who systematically took apart Stormers in Cape Town 29-10 – a feat not seen in an away semi for 14 years, which could or not be true, as I’m going purely on memory, but when you cast back a twitching eye anything is feasible.

fool says:

I think he just said it up there, in that paragraph of nonsensical blabberings above, but just in case you didn’t fathom it, the Reds will get pipped at a very stern post from the Crusaders who came on song half way through this comp and have by and large to fool, at least, looked the team to beat – the Reds won’t.

Some shorts:

*James Haskell was shown the door at Stade Francais, which is quite unbelievably, but that’s the French for you. He’s off to Japan for a three month jaunt, then whoever seems the likely winners of the Super 15 for a spell till 2012/13 season where he’ll re-camp with his old Club Wasps and ready for what is already talked about England’s World Cup real chance, alongside of course the Wallabies, France, South Africa and any other bugger that isn’t New Zealand – seriously, knowing it’s almost financially wise to bet against this Oil Slick taking home the bacon in October it would be foolish not to bet against them and the fool not as loopy as suggesting Scotland might lift the Webb, England could… but France and Australia in the knockouts – they couldn’t lose again could they… surely not?

*New Zealand’s ITM is coming soon…

*No other news – I’m on holiday.

A willow the wisp of cricket now:

And now ladies and gentlemen a thribble on the light side:

It’s been so long since I had a thribble I’ve almost forgotten what it is.

So needless to say, it’d be rude not to talk about Stuart Broad being ‘unacceptable and offensive’ by calling Billy ‘finger’ Bowden a ‘pooh bag’ which cost him half his whack at headingly which is about 1,500 quid.

Despite Broad’s ineptitude to rattle havoc with either his words on arbitration nor his balls of penetration the 6ft 5’ ‘midget’, as he’s called by team mates Finn (there’s only one…) and Tremlett, he settled rather satisfactorily in a world of sublime denial with figures netting 0-154 in three ODI’s which suggests he’s a little more barking than we gave him credit for, but perhaps not Levi who knows his mind, ‘I enjoyed it, that’s the passion you need to play cricket.’ – Excuse me that was in reference to Jade Dernbach’s spat with Mahela Jayarwardene, whom Billy had to give the finger to in Headingly where the Srills eventually romped home by 69 runs.

Meanwhile England are not playing too much cricket with a batting order void of form if you don’t count Cook’s 117 at Lords on Sunday, yet everyone is still wrangling him for not being pushy enough in the short order game and what with the other mob falling by the wayside on dribs and drabs of singles and sporadic boundaries meant only for a plucky newcomer to this form that has not reference in consistency.

Mahela Jayarwede has been showing the English boys what needs to be done on a regular basis hitting 144 off 150 balls at Headingly and … something or other at Lords on Sunday

It’s early now and… - I’m done

The team that likes roll mops and partying and belts and rum and temptations and feathers and Steve Finn and proverbs and coordinates and pigeons and tiddly winks and Jessie’s! And spin and the Beatles and Buddy Holly and side-show Bob and Ant and Dec and capes and japes and basketball and indoor cricket and psyche and a good rib-dig and loose ends and first balls and a good roasting, and triple tons and whoa-ha-ha’s and cooking and cradles and Yorkshire puddings…and 2010/11 Ashes, and the Gods
