Waiter, there's a fly in my shoe!

I was at the SCG for the full day's play yesterday, pretty happy to see Sri Lanka put up some kind of fight.

My highlight for the day: watching a cop get hit in the back of the head with a paper plane made from one of those 4/6 signs, and then trying to figure out who throw it.

I just can't get over that Cowan runout. The papers have been drilling the averages of the players outside of Clarke with hussey retiring and he is jogging carrying his gloves. Terrible. Just terrible.

He should be dropped just for that.

I just don't understand what he was thinking. Especially with Warner, he's always going to looking for the second.

Starc is a real handy tail batsmen. I hope it continues and he can become like Johnson, except a much better and consistent bowler.

He's also not a oval office of a person, which helps.

Right, I just turned the cricket on, forgetting it was on today and you arseholes have some explaining to do. What the gently caress is Shaun Marsh doing in the side? Surely the dozen or so people that would be picked before him have the shits or something?

Sick, injured, in India already.

Run rate of 2.36, this is going well.

I just tuned into the test, and apparently they're not playing on a pitch, they just dropped a pile of dirt in the middle of a field. How could Australia only play one spinner?

Also Sehwag just dropped a sitter at slip.

Word is Clarke wanted Lyon to play, but got overruled by the other selectors. Starc's the other guy to miss out.

Is this the lowest strike rate Warner's ever had?
And wow, I honestly can't remember the last time we had a 100+ opening run stand that wasn't Warner 85/Cowan 15.

He had that century against NZ that took him a while to get.

It's in all the ads as well. Why on earth would anyone want a bucket that's had greasy KFC in it on their head?

Do they sell the buckets separately for this specific reason? Or do all those people each eat a bucket of KFC before heading to the cricket?

So apparently Phil Hughes just got knocked out by a bouncer in a Sheffield Shield match, and there are serious concerns about his health. Don't think he'll be playing any cricket for a while.

Edit: It's pretty bad, they've had to bring in a helicopter to get him to hospital

Phil Hughes was hit in the head by a bouncer and is reportedly in critical condition :(

He's not in hospital just yet, they're loading him into the helicopter that's on the field. But he apparently needed CPR, which is not a good sign.

David Warner has written a children's book 'The Kaboom Kid', it is going to be a series. It's probably just his autobiography but they're selling it to 8-12 year olds.

They're actually written by a couple of different authors, although of course they're credited as "David Warner (with J.V. McGee)".

Mitch Marsh is wrecking them, he's overtaken Steve Smith already. 40 off 25 so far.
