Why, why, why.. Jesse Ryder

Jesse’s gone on the piss again, missed training and been dropped for the 4th ODI against the Windies.

Which is a great segway into this youtube clip of the Barmy Army.

Don’t get me wrong, I love nothing more than a chubby cricketer.

In all honesty Mark Cosgrove should be called up because the only answer to a fatty is another fatty, it’s kind of like fighting fire with fire.

But of course, the best thing about rotund cricketers is the puns, oh the puns.

Jesse’s mum has got it going on

What an inspiration it is to see the rotund kiwi waddling in to bowl, he’s twice the man I am, maybe even more. So with this new found Ryder inspired bowling ethos I’ll be rolling the arm over for NSCC 3rd grade reserve at some oval in St Ives, can already feel the pain.

Great start to the Trevor-Barry trophy by the Kiwi’s, they did exactly what they needed to do with tight bowling, movement in the air and intelligent captaincy. They’re lucky to have not lost a wicket in the 5 overs of batting last night and full credit to them. Sounds like it’ll be a minefield out there with a fired up Lee and Clark probing away.

EnZed are most definately in a commanding position in this test, however they’ll need to talk with the bat today and make it count. The Gabba has really favoured the bowlers this year, here’s the two Sheffield Scorecards and putting the Aussie performance in this context 214 isn’t looking terrible.

QLD vs TAS
October 10-12
QLD 236
Tas 106
QLD 62
Tas 144

Queensland vs Victoria
October 21-23
QLD 245

QLD 150
Vic 45*

A mixed day for my fantasy team the ‘Overhand Underarmers’, despite a very poor start thanks to Hayden and Katich, they were at least dismissed by Tim Southee who also made the cut. My fantasy captain Michael Clarke chipped in with a dominant 98 before my tubby fantasy mascot Jesse Ryder took his second wicket.
