He’s a good player, had a fantastic year in limited overs cricket, and maybe he’ll be a success at Test cricket. But it’s pointless giving Indian players credit for being young. Age is determined by the year you finish high school. Loads of families send there kids a year late – for simple economic reasons. And in youth cricket talented players are routinely held back in age groups to give them the best chance of standing out for representative selection

It was almost like they gave a shit about test cricket.

“KING CRICKET IS INNOCENT!”

says 8888888888888 Cricket’s Phil Drabble, who continues

“All that money went to The Stanford Home for Destitute Dancing Girls in Antigua, a worthy cause and no mistake. However, if you’ll turn up to the Inaugural World 8×10^8 Cricket World Premier Champions Cup, to be held in Salford between March and February, we can still have him flogged for you. If you want.”

They’d take us alive!

We did have a ‘never’ in there, but thought better of it. We can see the statement loses something following the omission, if we’re honest.

grEIGHT – that, really, says it all. I’ve made the marketing manager choice wisely. Maybe its time we form the official “BOwden’s Ogdoad – Betting In Eights Syndicate”. As marketing manager, we rely on Bert to take BOOBIES mainstream. We invite applications for the following posts: Executive Chairman of the Board, Treasurer, Secretary, Another Treasurer, A Third Treasurer, and someone we can rely on to stash away the millions.

I am required by law to inform you that KC would, of course, go to prison if one of us fucks up.

Marketing is immoral. King Cricket (of King Cricket coffee stein mug fame) says so.

Test cricket is what counts even for the biggest stars of limited overs cricket..
