Annoyed Cricket Post

Insert inconsolable howl of rage

You see this? This feeling of crushing disappointment and grief? This feeling that somehow *I* have just got out in a situation which would have been a perfect opportunity to prove my critics wrong at the home of my main challenger?

This is why I don't like getting invested in players. This is why I ignored a year and a half of Geraint's test career. This is why I sometimes have to push English cricket to the back of my brain and pretend I'm not so much of a fan after all.

indian_skimmer Are you sure it's a wise idea for us to watch the New Year Ashes Test together? I'm not a lot of fun to be around when I'm like this, and there might possibly be tears. If The Thing That Won't Possibly Happen does in fact happen I may associate it with you and never be able to speak to you again...

The big pine box is very kickable in moments of high stress. It makes a satisfying cruch when it falls over without actually breaking in half.

I also have a fluffy lapwing with a squeaker in it which makes a deeply satisfying squwak when it hits the TV at high speed.

I'm so naming the lapwing "Ricky"

*strokes Ricky The Lapwing protectively*

He has sticky up hair and a little bald patch at the back...

I also have Bruce The Penguin who, usefully, is actually Australian.

I also have an Australian Penguin (called Shane) so perhaps I'll bring him for more ammunition.

They're surprisingly aerodynamic. And Shane's a fantastic name for a penguin.

I like to think the Australian Tourist Board manufactured them for their ability to be hurtled at Sky Sports.
