The life of an Australian cricket fan: Obsessively checking the weather forecasts around the country and cursing the unseasonably wet weather. The long range rain forecast for Brisbane isn't as bad as it could be and I couldn't with all good conscience complain about the rain in a country that was on fire a week ago but I'm totally complaining

Have you thought of shipping Archie/Blaine?

[calavarna]

Blaine has canonical plans to build a time machine and go back to the 70s to give Bryan Ferry a high-five so if he happened to overshoot the mark by 175 years or so, it could be my ship to end all ships. They'd have to live in the modern day, though, because Blaine would probably feel the need lament the existence of Article 29(?) and the lack of hair gel through song. Multiple times.

WRITE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[calavarna]

NOOOOO.

Or maybe when I finally come to terms with losing many half-written stories from the Great Hard Drive Failure of 2013 and can type again without trembling with fury.

And what's this with Clarkey and naming the England team? Can't dare type what my Ros called him...

[calavarna]

I think it's a joke gone wrong. Not that there's anything particularly funny about it to begin with but it's been blown out of proportion in the British media and is a complete non-event in the Australian media (who are still fixated on the 194 recipes or whatever the England team requested).

Ros couldn't have called him anything worse than what I've called him on occasion. Like many Australian cricketers over the years, I love him but sometimes I really don't like him.

If it's a joke, as you say, it's not a funny one. A bit like Warne's spoutings.

Are the Aussies so worried they have to start the sledging now?
