Winning stuff at Beer and Sport

I’ve been on a bit of a roll lately. First up I topped the test leg of JRod’s cricinfo fantasy cricket for the Trevor-Barry Trophy. I’m not sure if this event carries on into the ODI series next year, but I’m happy to claim victory now and have all bow down in my presence.

My policy of selecting players based on links to the great state of NSW has certainly been reaping dividends. Michael Clarke did a stand up job as captain of “Jessie ate all the pies”, and Brett Lee was a bit weak early on but redeemed himself with both bat and ball taking me 475 points clear of the nearest challenger. Even Brad Haddin chipped in with a timely 169.

I’ve also picked up the coveted yellow jersey from the Cricket=Action=Art guessing competition. Sure I got there a little late and the clue pretty much gave it away, but I was the one who guessed that it was Western Australia’s pre-cursor to Cameron White, the original and sookiest crying cricketer, Kimberly Hughes.

Marty was kind enough to make me a prize for this guessing competition, a delightfully retouched image of David Boon in the most natural of positions.
