the depressed sect

According to crockinfo Shaun Tait will be ready to fire first game next year for the Redbacks.

Probably a good thing for the Redbacks, they were crap before they lost Gillespie and Elliott and they are mega crap now.

To be honest I didn’t really read the article the first time, I just saw Tait’s manager was named McRitchie.

It’s like some weird McDonalds burger made of Richie Benaud.

Then I read the article and it said certain depressed AFL footballers and Marcus Trescothick reached out to him.

I didn’t know depressed people were so eager to reach out to each other.

But what Marcus said almost intrigued me as much as the McRitchie burger.

He said “hang in there and just realise there is more to life than playing international cricket”.

Brilliant observation, and also brilliant ashes 2009 planning.

As a mentally "more" fragile opening batsmen he would rather face less men like Tait and more men like Chaminda Vaas.

I’m not saying fast men caused Trescothick’s ills, but unless you’re a sado masochist like Langer, they can’t really help you.

So Trescothick gets on the front foot and plays with Tait's mind.

Sure he only miss hits him through cover for two, but that’s better than what he has done against International bowlers for some time.

But Marcus there are so many other International speedsters you could fu©k with.

Brett Lee could be forced to room with Michael Clarke, all that fighting for the mirror would get to him.

Malinga could be lead astray by getting him a guitar. Because in a band is the only way that hair could be acceptable.

And Steyn could be forced to watch himself over react to getting Chris Gayle out for hours on end. If that doesn’t make him question his very existence, Marcus could hit him on the head with a shovel.www.cricketwithballs.com "Sign our David Hussey petition"
