The Gentleman's game...., and some other stuff...


I'm depressed..., my nations cricket team that had showed so much promise, turned in their "Man Cards" on Monday in South Africa. After two stunning wins against two decent teams they were into the semi's.




Another well played and thought out performance against a good team, put them into the finals. But low, who should they find? That's right, our wanky big brother and he was aiming for late night penetration!!



In a surprising twist though, the new keeper for Oz is really quite cute. He is the one standing. 

After a poor batting performance that allowed the Aussie quicks to dominate through the bulk of the innings, we posted a paltry score. A score which was picked off fairly easily. So yes I am depressed, and it has put me in a foul mood.

In other news, there is some movement going on at work. It seems that in the infinite wisdom of the brainstrust, the department we are housed next too has been moved. Pain the arse really, because we relied on them for a great many things..., terrible..., oh yes! But great! Of course, this means that we are going to benefit from some of the now unused space. Finally I will not be crunched into the far corner!! I have no idea when we will expand, but it shouldn't be in the too distant future.

I also want to take this opportunity to say thanks. I have been around for a couple of months now, and have picked up more followers than I thought possible. If you produced the drivel that I do, you would be surprised as well. So here it is boys (I don't think there are any girls reading this, so they get left out!)...,

Thank You.

Thank you for following, thank you for commenting, and above all thank you for allowing me into your world. My days would be a lot darker without the Blogsphere.

6 Tactical Suggestions...:

You're most welcome kompis!

I'm not that much into sports, nevertheless I follow "my" team in both soccer and ice hockey.
This year the soccer season has been disastrous. Horrible. Painful to watch. A true nightmare.
It's the end of the season now. Everything's lost. There's no hope. We're about to be kicked out from the league... and what that means for the sponsorship, attracting good players and supporters, well it's not hard to figure out.
At work I've been the laughingstock after each loss (which has been SO many!) it's not even funny any longer. So right now, sport sucks in my world!

Luckily there's more to life eh :D

Love
D

Oh, come on Octavius, don't get all mushy on us now, you're the strong guy, leave sentimentality for softies like me -yeah, people have told me I'm a softy- come on, we only got one chance in life and what better than take it together.
I'm not really a sports fan, really don't like any, and to make matters worse you know I couldn't recognize cricket the animal from the sport :P
Still, take a lot of care, you should not thank at all, if anything it's been my pleasure getting to know you, I'll make sure we don't drift apart.
Love
me

Don't know wether an Aussie is real welcome just at this moment but it certainly is a nice gesture on your behalf but I would say you give as good as you get [being said in a cheeky but nice way].Besides getting a lot of enjoyment and entertainment from your posts, got a couple of very nice pics that I can oggle so I reckon it's been a bloody good deal.
Kindest regards Stef.
