chris rogers - the champion victorian opener

Two seasons ago a comedian who had no real interest in domestic cricket was the number one fan for the Victorian bushrangers.

Last season I assume it was me.

So in this role I would like to throw my support behind Chris Rogers, our newest opening batsmen.

Chris, we are happy to have you over here.

You will hear a lot of negativity from Western Australians about this, but let’s be honest, you asked to play one day cricket and they wouldn’t allow it.

So you are right to come to Victoria.

You can play one day cricket here, you can bat anywhere you want, except for number 4. You can bowl too, we let all our guns bowl.

I personally vow not to make fun of your red hair, we already have one ranga.

Your glasses, you and Bryce can read each other Tolstoy.

Or your slightly nerdy demeanour, have you met David Hussey.

Us Victorians have a great recent record with getting West Australians into the Australian side, eventually.

I also think Victoria is a better place for you to live, being that you have the complexion if a well tanned albino.

Oh, and one more thing, don’t suppose you have any other openers you can bring across with you, just in case Jewell doesn’t work out.

You see he played football for Richmond, so he may not be a long term solution.

Chris you can stop reading now.

Done?

Good.

Does anyone else see the funny side of a player coming to Victoria to further his international career?www.cricketwithballs.com "Practice Sehwagology and kill the Probots"
