drunken big bash report

This match report is soaked in beer.

Myself and my friends drank at a 2020 pace.

Big Daddy, a not so frequent collaborator on cricket with balls woke me with a spew this morning, that’s the sort of pace we set last night.

The game was pretty ordinary.

Another G pitch that no one could score runs on.

Which for 2020 sort of negates the idea of the game.

Blizzard and Hodge looked pretty good early on.

But when talking about batting you really can’t look much further than David Hussey. How he scored 70 off 40 on that pitch is beyond me.

He hit some very large blows, and looked particularly angry against the slower bowlers.

I still maintained my perfect record of never seeing him make a tonne.

Just to prove how good David Hussey is the NSWelsh came out and batted horribly.

I still don’t know how they got that close to winning.

The crowd was great, it was great to see a Victorian cricket match with fans there.

Never thought I’d see the day.

I'd like to thank Cricket With Balls Own Nice Bryce McGain for getting a wicket first ball as a birthday present.

What a great guy.

you can't win them all and David Hussey star of RRR

Victoria lose 20 20 game.

Victorian started the game like Ben Johnson in the 88 olympics, they were none for 50 of 4.5 overs.

That was when Blizzard went out, and from there it was scrappy.

They did manage to get to 180 odd.

Pomersbach, Ronchi and Voges all took slices out of that score, until the forgotten Zimbabwean Ervine came out and got the Warriors home comfortably.

It was the loss they had to have, as long as they don’t have another one.

We have won this tournament 2 years in a row, we deserve that ticket to India.

In other news today, I heard a cricket show on RRR called cricket weakly, who devote some of their show to getting (Future PM) David Hussey into the Australian team.

Last week they called for Ponting to be dropped, next week they may ask for Michael Clarke to be dropped. Or Brad Hogg even, the Future Pm bowls some great offies.

Cricket weakly is on RRR at 9am Saturday mornings, what were the odds I’d be up at that time.

Must be fate.

Kumar sarna, red hair and big bash

I feel bad I haven’t written anything on here for a while, but it’s been a bit of a dead period for state cricket of late.

I did see that Victoria got 5 boys in the Australian under 19 side, including the favourite cricketer of all Indian born Australians Kumar Sarna. Also picked was the fast bowling Pattison who’s brother played for Victoria. 3 other guys were picked, whom I don’t know, but well done all the same.

Kumar Sarna generates more hits on my blog than Ricky Ponting, don’t make me explain the power of cricket in India.

Last night the bushrangers won their 2020 game against Queensland deep in the heart of New Texas. The red knobbed McDonald had a cracker of a game with 3 wickets for 22 and a lazy 40odd.

If only we can petition CA to dump all other forms of cricket. Victoria could make it 3 2020 big bash championships on the trot. If they win 9 on the trot, that will be the equivalent of beating the NSWelsh at the SCG in a shield game.

If Victoria does win again does that mean we can get KFC to stop showing those horrible un lip synced ads.

I am actually going to pop in for a 2020 big bash (seriously sh1te name) game or two. The Vics host the NSWeslhman on the 6th and tassie on the 8th.

I’ve never been to a 2020 game, but I am interested to see if they have dancing girls.

I like dancing girls.

Victorian blizzard warning (murdoch approved headline)

Aiden blizzard is set to make his debut for the Vics next week.

I’m pretty happy with that, having seen him a few times now I think the boy can bat, and I think the sooner he gets into the side the better. He has a solid technique and a good eye. Making your debut on the fairy floss wicket down south aint bad either.

Will be interesting to see where he bats in the order, whether Future Pm David Hussey moves himself to 3, or whether Aiden comes in as a direct swap for Hodge.

Problem is he’s playing because Brad Hodge has been promoted to play 2020 cricket for Australia.

My question would be, what is the point of playing a near 33 year old in a one off 2020 match?

Surely Brad Hodge would be better off playing first class cricket for his state so he can get back into the test side (theoretically).

Not swinging his bat like a mad man so that cricket Australia can make some quick cash and channel 9 can try out new toys.

I’m not sure why people over the age of 25 need to even play 2020. I’d prefer Blizzard, Pomersbach or someone untried to have a go.

Either 2020 is a real form of cricket, and the best team plays (not drop out like Ponting did). Or it’s an exhibition game for add afflicted mtv fans, and it should be played by youngsters to get experience playing under pressure.

You can’t have your cup cake and eat it too.
