September the month of fear and loathing
Cricket doesn’t really have time off.
She just rolls continuingly, like drug dealers and the news.
But due to Pakistan scaring white people, she is pausing.
The international schedule is nekkid.<p class="news-subheading" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 0px; ">Tours and tournaments

So if some people start talking about their ol' predictitron, or get in guest bloggers, or start waxing lyrically fantasic tales about someone as obviously boring as Matthew Nicholson, cut them some slack.
Cricket bloggers aren't like real people.
We can't say, no cricket this month, perhaps i'll take up origami.
Instead our fantastical brains go into creative mode.
So the story about the offspinner who changes boot companies ends up as an apocryphal story with killer elves.
This is how the mind of the blogger deals with no cricket.
One day you could be starting a blog on women's cricket, but it could with that story of how your penis got caught in your zipper.
A simple blog about the ICC's general crapness transforms itself and all of a sudden you are comparing lorgat's head to Falun Gong's fall from grace in China.
A solitary line on Andre Nel's new space helmet will inspire an opus about inter galactic cricket warriors in a galaxy in your mind.
So do not be concerned if your favourite cricket bloggers go a little nuts this month, just remember that cricket is 5% physical, 80% mental, 7% metaphysical, and 24% existentialist.www.cricketwithballs.com... fighting the war on tony greig
