best of the year

Best of lists are part of Christmas. Well, seeing as I have the power to publish my own opinions, here are my topper picks for the year…
Best Record
The Killers - Sawdust
Ok, it’s a B-sides n rarities comp. But The Killers are simply so far ahead of anything else out there right now.
Best Film
The Bourne Ultimatum
A […]

Go Fleming

Notts captain Stephen Fleming secured a New Zealand victory today against Bangladesh with a stonking century off 92-balls.
C’mon you Kiwiiiiisss!*

*tyger is not a Kiwi, in fact if anything he should support Australia (his mother grew up there and he still has family in Adelaide), but when it comes to cricket he hates them soooo much. […]

The lineup

I am going to write a book on my tenure as Pakistan coach. I shall only start after the World Cup… I believe, regardless of the money, the story is worth telling, has to be told and in the correct way. I am not a name and shame guy, just the honest facts. Let the […]

Cricket in turmoil

Was Woolmer about to blow the lid on match fixing?
UPDATE: “my gut feeling is that there is still some kind of corruption in the game” ~ Michael Vaughan
UPDATE:
The murderer(s) was either someone Woolmer trusted or who he thought was properly coming to his room (room service, as it usually is in the movies). He […]

Six sixes

Note to non-cricketing readers: this is very, very rare. As far as I know it’s happened 3-times (once by Garfield Sobers, once in Indian domestic cricket, and on this occasion).

Shocker

Seriously, what the hell happened?
Joyce. Duck! (god I hate ducks)
Flintoff. Golden Duck! (those effin’ DUCKS!)
Well the weighted seeding system should ensure we’ll get through to the next round, but the Kiwi’s are bobbins. Bond is an excellent bowler and Scott Styris is your stereotypical Kiwi all-rounder, but if we can’t beat New Zealand then […]

Early night?

I don’t have Sky TV. So I can’t watch the Aussies take the Scots apart. I have to make do with the Guardian’s over-by-over coverage.
I used to have Sky, but I found spending every evening watching The Daily Show and South Park re-runs wasn’t good for me. So I cancelled my subscription […]

Hot water for Big Brother

As one commenter has alluded to the Big Brother controversy, I’ll throw in my comments. This is the very first series of Big Brother I have watched more than 10-minutes of. I probably catch about half-an-hour a week, but I see enough to know what the hell is going on (yes, it’s that […]

Belated apology

I’m sorry the blog has been dodo-like over the weekend, but I was out yesterday; and then, last night I was up until four watching the Kiwis fail to turn over Austrailia in their one-day-international. New Zealand looked promising at one point, with their spinners frustrating the Aussie middle order, but as ever it […]

Viral joke

Received this joke circular at work, thought I’d share it with you…
Billy was at school this morning and the teacher asked all the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came: fireman, policeman, salesman, chippy, captain of industry etc, but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet and so the teacher asked […]

Normal service will resume

I’m utterly shattered after yesterday’s travels and staying up until gone three to watch England’s batting crumple in the third test. Actually, I missed the collapse by about 10-minutes, as when I finally went to bed (knowing I have work at nine), Flintoff was on 48, and both he and Pietersen were motoring along […]

Monty rejuvenates stuttering England

No one would argue against the obvious fact that it was the bowlers who won the Ashes in the summer of ‘05. Yes, of course we had to put runs on the board, and Pietersen and Tresco both did brilliantly with the bat, but it is was our ability to bowl out the best […]

My England

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

C’mon boys!

Don’t let these koala-kissing sons-of-criminals get back into the match lads.

Being Best Man

It was great, an honour. But as I had to get the Groom to the wedding, and as Mrs. tyger made her own way there, we had two cars = no prospect of tyger enjoying a drink.
I was on the tomato juice and Diet Coke.
