Pretty Boy Vs Badonkadonk

I’m working right now, but gently in the background there is a one dayer being played between the Poms and the Kiwis.

The Poms have decided to play today, good for them.

I wasn’t really interested in the game, but I did see some interesting by play between Jesse Ryder and James Anderson.

Anderson is clearly in the English team for his looks.

South Africa have a quota for black players and coloured players, England currently has one for male models.

Ryder started off pretty well, he put one in the stands, slapped a square drive so well I welled up, but then Anderson and England got on top of him.

Jimmy beat him with a pretty good ball, to which jesse played a really sh1t shot to.

Then Jimmy came steaming down the wicket reminding Jesse of the good ball, in case Jesse was a goldfish and had forgotten what had happened to him a mere 2 seconds earlier.

Jimmy did his best I’m tougher than I look, sound and act routine, and Jesse replied with a lovely well bowled mate.

Sure Jesse’s “well bowled” was tongue in a chubby cheek, but it had more power than all of Anderson’s b boy posturing.

All of this counted for nothing as England plugged all the holes square of the wicket until Jesse found a fielder in the deep.

Jesse bats like a young Darren Lehmann, before he got old and started waddling around the wicket, like an ice addict waiting for a train.

He is steady, uses his eye and hands, and waits very late for the ball.

Plus they are both rotund men.

Jimmy Anderson reminds me of those annoying kids you played juniors against. The ones you smashed out of the attack every week, but that got picked in the representative sides, because they looked technically correct.

Their shirts were always very white, and their gear was matching, and their performances were always average.

But Anderson looks like a cricketer, and even though he has proved throughout his entire career that he is not one, looks can be deceiving.

I’m not saying that if he was fat or ugly he wouldn’t be in the side, actually that’s exactly what I’m saying.
