Three Jeers for Kaspa

It is with great excitement that I can write that the man with the fattest ass in international cricket, Michael Kasprowicz, has announced his retirement.

Never has a man, with no talent, been given more of an opportunity to play for his country than the "old warhorse" that is Kaspa.

His ridiculously short pitched bowling meant that he ensured the batsmen had plenty of time to get on the back foot and choose his next shot. His frightening speed had them all quivering too!!!

The bloke could not swing the ball or move the ball off the wicket - in the end he couldn't even bowl fast offies.

I was unfortunate enough to see his first ODI wicket at the MCG - both Sime and I thought that the ball hit him on the foot given its length - no doubt Sherwin Campbell cannot believe that he played the dumbest shot to third man to get out.

I am glad to see the end of Kaspa, because you could just never second guess the Australian selectors - you just knew that he was always the next in line - irrespective of the form of other Aussie domestic cricketers.

Good riddens to you Kaspa, now may that ass come to good use - Trevor Hohns enjoyed it whilst being chairman of selectors and I reckon there might be a spot in his retirement home just for you.www.cricketwithballs.com "the only cricket blog that offers $ex with evil dragons"
