Pakistan Cricket. When you hear those two words this springs to mind: 1992 world cup, Imaran Khan, tight-arse board and Inzy the potato. But not anymore.
Nowdays you think: Turmoil, terrorism and isolation. But fear not, the chaps at New Zealand Cricket have finally put their brains into gear.

The upcoming New Zealand tour of Pakistan, scheduled for December was more or less doomed for postponement, but as I said, the NZCB have intervened. They have made it public that they would...

Rugby. Now it is the ugly stepsister of league, boy have the tables turned, so perhaps I should answer the burning question. Why is the rugby so crap?

Don't get me wrong. I love rugby. Where I come from, the Canterbury province of New Zealand, if you don't like rugby you are a poof, and a big one at that. Over the years I have been to hundreds of matches, but not a good one since 2005.

Yes, it's fair to say that professionalism has killed the game, SANZAR schmanzar. But...

1: Daniel Vettori to the England player's room at The Oval, June 2008.
"F*** you c****, F*** you."
Excuse the profanity

2: Kevin Pietersen opens up his heart to Yuvraj.
"You are not God, you are a cricketer, and I am a better one."

3: The ever-public Curtly Ambrose.
"Curtly talk to no man."

4: Ramnaresh Sarwan gives Glenn McGrath an answer he'll understand.
"I don't know, ask your wife"...

Kevin Pietersen, brash, arrogant and put-it-all-out there. Maybe what he said to Yuvraj Singh, "You are not God, you are a cricketer, and I am a better one," sums him up. He thinks he's better than the rest. In my opinion, he is an airheaded, overpaid, over-rated slogger. And i'm saying that in the new world of T20, the world's full of them.

Yeah sure, if it's a small ground (or a ground in New Zealand), go for it! But slogging just seems to be a part of the game these days....

Here's my take on the 'Hit Comedy Of 2009', enjoy!
