Where are the pitch police when you need them?

Somerset 688 for 8. Surrey, in reply, 717 all out. If you were the curator at Woodbridge Road, Guildford, would you be proud of this? And why is the ECB silent?

Great moments in corporate hospitality

Filed under: Australia — Rick Eyre @ 6:31 pm

In the week in which Percy Sonn has ascended to the presidency of the ICC, comes the news that Northern Territory member of parliament Len Kiely has resigned from all his official posts following an action-packed day in the territory government’s corporate box on the opening day of the Australia A v Pakistan A game in Darwin on Tuesday.
Kiely was hosting a function in his capacity as acting speaker of the NT Legislative Assembly when, having been refused more alcohol late in the day, reportedly told a 61 year-old female security guard: “I have a very long tongue and I could use it on you and make you a very happy woman”.

It was reported that a total of 107 Crown Lager stubbies were consumed in the corporate box on Tuesday. It is not known whether this is a ground record for Marrara Oval.

Just as well they weren’t Darwin Stubbies.

worldcup-champions.com

Filed under: This site, World Cup 2007 — Rick Eyre @ 7:46 pm

Another domain name I bought a while back and never got around to using.

I’ve put worldcup-champions.com up for auction on eBay. The auction closes in three days time, on Thursday about twelve hours after the Portugal-France semi-final. The domain name is currently registered until 24 February 2007.

If anyone is interested, the auction is on eBay here.
