(The following article is a particularly fierce one. If you are monk or share similar views on non-violence, you may find this whole affair a bit disconcerting. If you are from the ICC you might want to consult your lawyers. If you are an Umpire you might want to consult a contract killer. If you are a...well, basically,whoever you are, this isn't polite so watch out.)
What a f#@king farce that was yesterday. 43 overs played and no result.
Why?
Because Law 43 wasn’t applied. Nigel Long (third umpire) spoke to Nasser Hussain before the game about switch hitting, and confused the poor sky team, by mentioning Law 43. (The MCC laws only go up to 42) Law 43 is the first one they teach you at “Look at me I’m not good enough to the play the game, so I’ll stop you from enjoying it, you better looking, richer, more talented f$#kers” school (Umpire school), it is an unwritten rule, that says the power freaks in stupid hats, should use common sense.
Why the f$#k did they not do that, when the “playing conditions” stipulated that you can only reduce the lunchtime break to a minimum of 30mins. WANK OFF YOU SHITTING C%#$#@cks. f$#k me, they’d only been on the field for an hour and a half. Why did they not use common sense? Ten minute turnaround, and that game was over.
It’s not often I agree with Ian “i’m a pickle brained f$#knut” Botham or Ian “f$#k me he’s got fat since 04″ Smith, but they were right yesterday. The fans sat there all-day in the rain, and they called the game off with one over to go. NZ needed seven to win. That would have been a magic finish, to a really good game of cricket. The players wanted to finish, the crowd wanted it finished, but the administracats want to ruin the game for everyone else.
If I’d have been in the crowd at Edgbaston yesterday, I would have had to start HULK SMASHING THINGS. I wasn’t, I was looking after The Gris, whilst the missus went for a pedicure.
Honestly, if that had have happened in India, there would’ve been a riot!
Now if we can get rid of Beefy, and let him drink himself into oblivion (whilst still keeping up the sterling charity work! Good on you for that Beefy), I’d be a happy man.
I’ve forgotten how to write, it seems, and this is just a vitriolic rant. So I’ll stop now.
One last thing.
