I think Brian Lara’s abdicated from the Cricket Throne. Rumours that he named Rob Key as his successor have yet to be confirmed.

and another thing. I thought Brian Lara was King Cricket? Since when did the fool who writes this junk claim the crown?

hmm? the peasants demand an answer!

oi! who you calling a scientist? I’m a scientician. There’s a world of difference.

hovering? never noticed that before. yet more profanity and cheap digs dressed up as witticisms.

Will the wonders of King Cricket never cease?

I say lets go over there and burn down the castle. King Cricket lives in a castle right? I mean, he must have some sort of fiefdom going off the back of all the wonga this website makes him.

Captions, schmaptions.

Pollock, schmollocks.

I like Shaun Pollock. He’s ginger, but not your half-arsed “looks a bit blond in the right light” ginger — e.g. Collingwood, Ian “Strawberry Blond” Bell, and so on.

No, Pollock’s violently ginger, like the ginger stepchild of yore. PROPERLY ginger. I like to think that he was teased and bullied mightily at school, only to retaliate by learning to bowl fast and knocking out the teeth of his enemies with vicious bouncers.

He probably trained by chasing ginger chickens and eating raw ginger. At the same time.

This is the most interesting article ever written on Shaun Pollock.

Now that we have renewed confidence in our Kindly and Benign Ruler Who Provides His People With Captions, it’s academic, but it would probably have started off as the People’s Republic of Kingcricket and then descended into anarchy as I’m not sure that we would have coped well with the sudden freedom. I like to think we would have recrowned you, though, rather than turning to despotism as an alternative.

Actually, I’m a bit disappointed about the mouse-hovering thing.

I only ever saw the captions before on my home computer, which is pedal powered and took so long to load the pictures that the little captions were around for ever, accompanied by a little red cross. I didn’t know I could see them at work too.

Now I discover that they’re available to all, with what I assume to be your super-whizzy broadband fancyness, I don’t like them so much. Get rid of them again if you want.

So there.

The anarchy of a republic, we seem to remember.

The Scientician, when this post first appeared it didn’t have any of those captions that you get when you hover over the picture with your mouse. I got excited by the captions yesterday, to the point of commenting on their existence, so was bitterly disappointed. Luckily, this discrepancy was swiftly remedied, otherwise who knows the anarchy that would have ensued.

Bloody scientists, if it’s not within the realm of their understanding, it can’t be real!!

Next you’ll be telling me the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn’t exist, and that there is no direct correlation between the number of Pirates, and the average global temperature..

Science, Schmience.
