Operation Screwloose
Good journalism in my book needs some humour value, displays some intelligence and if it's taking the piss, crafted in such a way that leaves the reader with a slight doubt that the writer could actually be serious.
This piece by Richard Boock on NZ cricket coach John Bracewell qualifies. It's worth a read.
Looks like the NZ v SL ODI today will be affected by weather which means money stays in the pocket. I've also steered well clear of the SAF v India test until I've seen the pitch. With the draw at 3.95, even with a relatively fine forecast I still have nightmares of the last test played at Cape Town when NZ scored 593 batting first and SAF replied with 500+ themselves. Yet the test before that saw an Australian win inside 3 days on an over-watered pitch. Prudent to wait me thinks, I think there'll be a result but there'll probably be a better time to get involved.
