In a seemingly relentless barrage of international matches, one blogger picks a game at random and tries to talk about it. Will this blogger make a stand? Well, momentarily.I did wonder why so many people were complaining about the length of the World Cup. I thought that it was great. It is a WORLD Cup. It should be massive. Like the world.
But this dizzying torrent of ODIs overwhelms even the most fanatical of fans.
Take the England team, for example. After a seven match series against India, they had approximately a day’s rest before heading over to SA for the twenty20 fiasco. A day after this was completed, England’s finest shot off to Sri Lanka to receive another hiding.
Obviously, this constant battering leaves no window to breath, or even hope. It is a continuum of pain, with only a Zimbabwe for rest-bite.
I vaguely remember kingcricket moaning about the specialness of test cricket being removed through over-familiarity. I endorse these sentiments, and suggest they are equally applicable to all areas of international cricket. But it's especially applicable to England, who just lose all the time.
Anyway, moaning aside. Australia won another game. All Indians, except MS Dhoni, crumbled like an under-educated girl in a stock broker’s office. India: pull your socks off. The Aussies must be defeated.

We did say that.
We said something about how a Test match used to be AN EVENT because they only happened about once every three months.
Seemingly.
How did this un educated girl crumble, rolled ankle, did she roll it on McGrath's cricket ball.
KC - yeah, I thought so.
Uncle - sadly, not many of us have had the opportunity of rolling with McGrath's balls. I think the hair frigtens us away.
