FANFIC #92834034

I chucked the ball hard, and Wadey caught it with his special blue and green gloves.
Then he threw it back and I caught it in my sequined gloved hands. Hee hee!
"Nice," Wadey said, nodding in approval at my catching.
"Thanks," I said, grinning, "You're good too."
We kept passing the ball back and forth, throwing it harder and harder at each other.
"Are you ready for the game tonight?" I asked.
"Yeah, you bet," Wadey replied, smiling.

Suddenly I heard a sound behind me.
I swivelled around, just as Wadey had thrown the ball. It hit me in the back. "Ow," I cried, rubbing my back and staring at the stranger in Wadey's backyard.
"Who are you?" Wadey asked, also staring at the stranger.
"Virat Kohli," the stranger said, very d'urggggingly, "D'urg."
"YOU CENTURY-MAKING BITCH!" I yelled, fiercely.
"D'urg?" Kohli said.
"Laura, we won anyway," Wadey told me quietly, "Don't worry."
I grabbed a pie from my back pocket and chucked it hard. The blueberry pie went straight into Kohli's face, turning his whole face blue.
"Bam!" I cried, happily, high-fiving Wadey. "My bff has taught me well."
THE END~.

Author's Note: Wadey is the new AUS wicket-keeper. He doesn't throw pies. But I do! :D

CRICKET update

Wadey and Starsky into the AUS One Day squad.
YES!

Poor Twatto, though. He's gotz a calf injury or something. Didak had one of those last year. It takes ages to heal, I think. Although, I'm not a doctor. And god help society if I ever do become one. :/

And Mitchie J! I miss him so much, omg. I'm going to stuff my face with pies.

Anyhoo, I hope Australia dominate the One Day series just like the Tests. And Tendulkar better not make his 100th century. The whole thing is stupid. You can't throw the number of centuries from two different forms of the game together. That would be like saying Glenn McGrath has taken 9283747385 wickets. Okay, let's just say he has. If Tendulkar can do it, why can't we?
Seriously, omg.
If Sri Lanka bowl badly and gift Tendulkar a century on our turf, I will hang Malinga from a passionfruit vine and wait till the cows come home. And I don't even live on a farm so the cows will never come home and Malinga can stick that in his juice box and suck it. jfc.

Anyway, if Tendulkar even THINKS about making a century, he can just forget it. Because it won't happen. Not here, not anywhere. The only place I will allow him to make a century is England, preferably hitting sixes off Swann and Anderson's bowling. Because then I can enjoy it too. Hahahaha. :P
And, when he is on 1, 23, 45, 69, and 99, I want Tendulkar to hit the ball in the air, and Alastair Cook will be the one under it. And Cook has to drop it for those 5 times. :P

My plans are awesome.
Shut up. :D

I AM NUMBER FOUR...

...Is what I'm reading at the moment.
I haven't seen the film but I do love Dianna Agron because she's stunning and gorgeous and everything that I'm not. Same with the whole Glee cast.

Anyway, I'm only up to chapter 5 in the book, but it's so good.
The main character (John) just moved to Ohio (that's where McKinley High is!). And when he thinks of Ohio, he thinks of "cows and corn and nice people". And on the license plates in Ohio, it says "The Heart Of It All".
Yes, okay, I like reading things about Ohio. Shut up. I'm obsessed with Glee, and everything related to it.

Anyhoo, John reaches Ohio, and goes to school. (The city is called Paradise, not Lima. Damn.)
And he meets a girl (Sarah, but I shall call her Quinn) who is very friendly and likes taking photos. John thinks that Quinn is the prettiest girl he's ever seen (duh!) and is in awe of her (like me!). Quinn used to be a cheerleader and dated the quarterback (like Glee!) but when she quit the cheerleading group (preggerz maybe?), she dumped her boyfriend.
Oh and the new kid, John, goes to his first class and it's Astronomy. Guess who's in the class? Quinn! Reminds me so much of Fabrevans, hahahaha.

Yeah, I was reading it at the races in Kyneton. While drinking a blue slushie. Moarrr Fabrevans references!
Sam and Quinn's first conversation was after Sam got slushied, and Quinn said that once she had been hit with a blueberry slushie and she looked like a creature out of Avatar. :D

And then I betted on some horse called Bullseye Wade. I didn't realise it was 9 years old when I chose it. Oops.
It came last. :(
But yeah. I chose it because it reminded me of the lovely Matthew Wade who will replace Bad Haddin some day. SOME DAY. Mark my words, my little Wadey will be ready to rumble when the next Ashes rolls around. :P

And yeah.
The Aussies are doing well in the cricket.
I didn't watch it today, but Siddle got a five-faaaa (Victorians ftw~!) and they bowled out India for under 300.
But unfortunately one Indian (Kohli) got a century. The first century for an Indian player this series. Wow.
And yay Pup! I like how he respects his bowlers and doesn't choose to send India into bat again. That's so nice. :D
Also, Dave Warner did okay in the 2nd innings, making about 28. Cowan did alright too, but it's Marsh that's letting the team down. He got a duck. Again. jfc, he's working so hard for that Jack Shite Medal. I reckon he's got it in the bag, now that Haddin has proved he can bat*.

And yeah.
I listened to some of the Hottest 100 on Triple J.
I picked Gotye for number 1, so GO ME. (Even though everyone else would've done the same, hahaha whatever).
I also picked some Wombats songs in my Top 10 (heaps of them) and I know some Wombats songs made the list. YAY.
Also, Shake It Out by Florence and the Machine got #13, I think. :D
And I picked Lisa Mitchell's song for my Top 10, but I don't know if it was on there. Matt Corby's song got number 3, so that's pretty good for a ex-Australian Idol person. Or maybe that one fan** was voting over and over again. Who knows?

*And by "bat", I mean making a decent score against some not-so-good bowling and not very well-placed fielders. Bravo, Haddin. Good luck making that score against Sri Lanka, or even England.

**It was probably Marcia Hines or one of the other judges. Kyle, maybe? Dicko? Mark Holden? idk idk, whatever, they probably think that if an Aus Idol contestant made it in the Top 10, then Aus Idol may come back and they will get their jobs back. :P. Oh wait, Kyle got sacked, didn't he? Well, the other three will get their jobs back. Hahaha.

Mitchie J and Bad Haddin.
Another fanfic, presented as a comic.
Enjoy!

FANFIC #8329899

"Alright, I'm ready," I called, standing in the crease and glancing up at Starsky. He came at me, menacingly, and I watched his left arm came around and the ball came straight towards me...
I swung, and completely missed.
"Fffffff," I said, careful to watch my language as there were children in the park.
The stumps went flying as the ball smashed into them.
"Aw, Starsky, don't be so mean," I whimpered.
"That's just how I bowl," he said, with a shrug.
"Can't you be like the other Mitchie?" I whined, "I miss that Mitchie."
Starsky grinned. "But I'm here now!" he said, his eyebrows dancing, "I'm in the Test team! We can do fun things too."
"Okay," I agreed, "Umm, let's..."
And then suddenly, we were ambushed by a short man.
"I WANT MY CENTURY," the man yelled, d'urggggingly. "AND I WANT IT NOW."
"No!" I cried, fiercely.
I felt around in my back pocket for a pie. There was none. Crap.
"It's alright, Laura!" Starsky called.
I turned around to him. He was standing there, holding a raspberry pie.
"Throw it!" I yelled excitedly.
"D'urg?" Tendulkar said.
Starsky chucked the pie, and it flew through the air. The pie hit Tendulkar in the knee, and splattered on his left leg. He ran off crying.
"Terrible shot," I told Starsky, shaking my head, "You really need to practise."
Starsky shrugged. "I'm not as skilled as your bff," he said.
"Whatev," I said, and then smiled. "Let's go eat cheesecakes!"

Author's Note: Starsky is my new bff. His name is Mitchell Starc, and he's a fast left-arm bowler. But he doesn't bowl pies. :/
Anyway, Mitchie J hasn't been replaced in my fanfics. I still love Mitchie J, but I've kind of forgotten about him. Sorry Mitchie J, I will make it up to you. :D
Enjoy!

WACA TEST MATCH.

So, the Aussies win another Test meaning they have won the series.
India just couldn't hang on to make Australia bat again, even though Bad Haddin was doing everything he could to help them. :P

Anyway, the next Test is on the 24th January.
In Adelaide.
I think the team will just be left as it is.
Unless someone gets an injury, what's the point?
Cowan and Warner have proved useful openers, Marsh is so-so, we know that Clarke, Ponting and Huss can bat (from the SCG Test) and Bad Haddin is Pup's bff.
The only problem is Lyon. Does he fit in the team?
I say yes.
But I love Starsky (Mitchie S).

Oh well.
I think, because this next Test doesn't really matter, they should put Wade in. And maybe Dan Christian instead of Marsh.
Just to see how they go.
Just a little test, to see if they can handle a Test match.
To compare them to the players that they replaced.
And if we lose? So what, we still keep the trophy and we will know that Wade and Christian aren't ready for Test cricket.
And if we win? Then we know that Wade and Christian are somewhat ready depending on how they play.

The Ashes is in 2013.
It feels like a long way off, but this upcoming Test is a good way to test out several debutants.
I hope the selectors see it from my point of view.
I don't care if India win in Adelaide. Good for them. They have played somewhat well, they deserve a win.
With T-Pain injured, they need to try out another Bad Haddin replacement. Matthew Wade.

Whatev.
The new Glee episode, Yes/No airs on Wednesday in Australia, and I am so excited for it, I could wet my pants. Samcedes cuteness, Summer Nights, synchronised swimming, three proposals, one couple eloping, your face, Sam's shirtlessness, Sam, Damian, Sam, Sam, Sam.
Bye.

CRICKET STUFF.

Yay, Aussies won the SCG Test!
Hilfy got a five-faaaa.
The Vic-quicks got 3 wickets between them. (Probably could've had more, but the 'keeper was kind of sleeping or something. idk.)

Anyway, I just thought I'd blag about it. Because I can.

Also, next Test is at the WACA.
It's time we brought out the big guns. And by that, I mean the W's.
Wade.
Watson.
Wonderful.
Upside down Mitchie J.

Bad Haddin is a joke.
He nearly mucked up the Tendulkar wicket. Luckily Huss was paying attention.
The amount of leg byes was ridiculous. At one stage, the ball just went right past him and he just let it go past. jfc.
I think Wade would do a much better job.
And I'm not just saying that because I'm a bias Victorian. (or am I?)

Twatto is apparently fit to play now.
They can't leave a fit Twatto out of the team.
What did Marsh and Warner do? Besides taking a few catches in the field (Warner's were spectacular, btw~), nothing.
Plus, Huss 'bowling a few' is not ideal. Frankly, I'm sick of it. (Although, I love and adore Huss. Nothing against Huss, it's just his bowling is so-so.)

Upside down Mitchie J is a W.
And yeah yeah, his foot is probably not healed.
But come on, I miss him.
I can't go the whole summer without seeing his pretty face. The KFC ads aren't filling the large hole. I still miss him. Sulk. ;____;

And bye.

CRICKET, PINK TEST, DAY 1

Siddle got his 100th Test wicket.

The Victorians cleaned up the Indian top order.

Marsh continued to show why Khawaja should still be in the team.

Ponting and Clarke clean up the mess that their openers made.

Fun times.
13 wickets fell in a day. This Test will be over in no time. Day 3 is Jane McGrath Day, but they should just swap it to Day 2 so that it still happens.

It was nice to see Mitchie J though. Even if it was on a KFC ad. I'm sure his foot is healing well, and he will easily get back into the team. There's only three fast bowlers so surely they will need a rest, right?

I miss Twatto.
Send Warner back to help his Sydney Thunder team, and make Twatto open with Ed Cowan.
And maybe Twatto could bowl a few overs (like what Huss does, except better).
I hate watching Huss bowl, even though he's one of my favourite players.
I mainly just hate it because I hate seeing Huss get smacked around too much.
It sucks.
Whatev.

I'm done.
Predictions for tomorrow: Ponting makes 60 and goes out; Pup to make a century; Huss to also make a century; Bad Haddin makes a half century and then, as the crowd is absolutely shocked at the possibility of him making runs, he reveals that he is actually Daisy Thomas; J-Pat and Siddle add 200 runs to the total.

Bye.

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

I was so close with my Day 3 predictions, you guys.

I said Sharma would make 10, but he made 11. Close enough, right?
J-Pat didn't get many wickets, but the Indian middle order did collapse sooo...
Warner didn't make a century, but Huss NEARLY did (and is still going). And yes, the rest of them failed with the bat, except Ponting and J-Pat. :P

I should do these prediction things more often.

Okay, for Day 4, I predict:
Huss to make century.
Tendulkar to get run over by a Segway.
J-Pat will make 29.
Hilfy will get around 35.
The Indians will collapse, leaving Ishant Sharma to get all the heap of runs that they so desperately need. (He doesn't, of course, but you know, whatever).
Alex Keath will get 4 catches in the field, maybe 5.

There.
Done.
If these don't happen, I will eat my shorts. :P

CRICKET: Day 2 of Boxing Day Test

So, after an alright-ish batting performance from the Aussies on Day 1, it was time for Day 2 which pretty much consisted of the Sehwag and Tendulkar smashing boundaries like there's no tomorrow.

Go the Victorians! Siddle with one wicket, plus a wicket on a no-ball. J-Pat with another wicket. And then, cute little Alex Keath as a sub fielder.

And Tendulkar won't make his 100th century this innings. Phew. Only about 7 innings left, plus the one-dayers. And then he will be out of our country, and free to get his stupid century on someone else's home turf.

Fun.

I miss Mitchie J. Damn foot injuries. Who knew that those tiny things on the bottom of our legs could be so cruel?
They need Mitchie in the team. Someone to bowl the perfect line and leng--- oh forget it, I'm just going to munch on this custard pie.

And anyway, who said the bowlers in the current XI are terrible?
I think they are good. Most of them are quite young, but still.

And it sucks that ol' man Huss got out when he didn't really get out. Not fair. Bring back the review system. Who decides that the review system shouldn't be used? :/

Also, I wantz Twatto back. Sulk.

Anyhoo, my predictions for tomorrow: Sharma will make 10 and be bowled by Huss, then J-Pat will get the rest of the wickets. idk, whatever. Then Aussies will come in to bat, and Warner will make a century, so will Huss, and everyone else will fail. Except for Siddle and J-Pat, who add an extra 200 runs to the total.
The end~.

AUS v NZ, Test, Day 4.

In my previous post, I predicted the outcome of Day 4 of the 2nd Test between Australia and the Kiwis.

I got two of them right: Warner made a century and the middle order collapsed.

Young Warner making his first Test century! :D

I got one half-right: J-Pat got Man of the Series, not Man of the Match.
I got another half-right: Khawaja made 44... divided by 2, and plus 1.
And sadly, it wasn't Starsky nor J-Pat with the winning runs.

It was a real nail-biter, and very nerve-wrecking.
Warner was the only one who made over 30, the rest couldn't do much. Some went for ducks, some went for golden ducks, and some just failed to make more than 10.

In the end, it was down to a gutsy Nathan Lyon (a.k.a. Lord Nate 2.0) who held in there for so long and was a good partner while Warner made the runs.
Warner and Lyon made around 30 runs, and had 7 runs left, when Lyon was clean bowled. :/

It was a good loss, because now the selectors can drop the old guys, and bring in some bright and fresh players.

My ins and outs:
In - Twatto, Wade, some other uninjured player (maybe Dan Christian, or T-Pain).
Out - Haddin.

I really want to write MHuss and Ponting in the "out", because they are not performing like they should. By being in the team, they are stopping young talented cricketers from being chosen.
But I can't.
MHuss has been so good in the past. He's saved our necks, he's held the team together. (Not recently, but you know, whatever).
And Ponting... he's a legend, they can't drop him. I know he should've retired long ago (yesterday, to be exact) but he's had so much success, as captain and as a batsman.
Blah.
I'm so glad that I am not a selector.

That's it for now.
Bye.

MY THOUGHTS ON: CRICKET.

Just some of my (stupid and not-so-expert) suggestions for the AUS XI (and cricket in general)-
  • As much as I adore Ponting and ol' man Huss, I hope they do not play well tomorrow. They need to fail, so they get dropped and learn their lessons. We need bright young stars in the team, to provide energy and hope for the future. Is the upcoming Test matches vs India important? Maybe. Is the Ashes important? Hell to the yes.
  • Haddin should be dropped. Bring in T-Pain or the wonderful Wade. idk, whatever.
  • Warner, regardless of his near-50 today, should continue to be in the team. He will only get better. His scores, respectively, have been 3, 12, 15, and now 47 not out. Improvement is evident.
  • J-Pat continue to be in the team, but looked after thoroughly. Injuries need to be avoided, this guy is going places.
  • Starc (or as I would call him, Starsky) should remain in the team. Less wickets than J-Pat, but still bowls well. Also, he looks like this:
  • It was sad when Chris Martin didn't get a king pair (two golden ducks in both innings of a Test). I wanted that so badly, hahahaha. :P
  • Congratz to Warner and Hughes for making a fine partnership. It was good to see. :)
  • I miss Twatto.
  • And Mitchie J.
  • Also, I really wanted to watch Pat Cummins play this summer.
  • Bowlers' injuries suck.
  • And getting a piece of metal in your foot. That sucks too.
  • Sad panda.
  • Alastair Cook is mighty fine. I cannot wait for the next Ashes.
  • Pup is beginning to grow on me. I don't like this.
  • I hope Tendulkar doesn't get his 100th century on our turf.
  • Fun.
  • I hope the Aussies win tomorrow. Predictions: Warner will make a century, Khawaja will get to 44, the middle order will collapse, and J-Pat and Starsky will get the remaining runs. Plus, J-Pat for Man of the Match.

STUFF.

So, Australia managed to win a Test match on home turf (since the disastrous Ashes series, Melbourne and Sydney in particular).
Yay.

But it finished way too early.
I would've liked Chris Martin to smash some fours and stuff, but no, he had to go and get his 31st Test duck. Whatever.
David Warner hit some boundaries to win the game, so that was pretty awesome.

And James Pattinson, a lovely Victorian, got Man of the Match. On his debut! :P

Fun.
After the cricket, I watched Arthur, where there was a blackout and they did fun things with their next-door neighbours. The next door neighbours knew how to survive a blackout, mainly because their Abuela taught them stuff. And I know who an Abuela is. It's their grandma. /proud.
(I probably spelt Abuela wrong. Whatever.)

And then, I watched Celtic Thunder Christmas Special.
Damian McGinty (who was on the Glee Project and then on Glee) was performing with them, wheeeeeeeeee.
Speaking of which, Damian will get more episodes on Glee! THIS IS AWESOME, YOU GUYS, MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK, OMG.

And Glee is on Wednesday!
Yippee.
And it includes Sam Evans. :D
And they go to Sectionals (which is located at McKinley High so they don't need to have a bake sale to fund for the bus trip).
And Sam will fight to get Mercedes back. Yes! At the end of Season 2, Glee teased us with "Samcedes" and then at the start of Season 3, they were like, "lol jk". And Mercedes moved on to another dude.

Well, you know what?
Finn and Sam should get together to derail this Shane dude.
They both want Shane out of there. Sort of. Maybe. idk about Finn, but I presume he still wants his football scholarship, right? RIGHT?
(Although, his stepdaddy is now a congressman thingy, so he could afford to send Finn to college and Kurt to NYADA, and bang! Finn and Kurt are both happy happy happy.)

And yeah.
Bye.
EDIT: American Horror Story is on tomorrow. Yeah.
Expect a whole recap of it, okay?
Although, my recap will only include Tate and Eric Stonestreet but you know, whatever. :P

CRICKET.

So, I'm reading Shane Watson's book at the moment.
And I came across something interesting.

In the Ashes series of '10-'11 that us Aussies would like to shove out of our heads forever, the English pace bowlers were really good at swinging the ball (especially reverse swing) whereas the Aussie pace bowlers were struggling to do this.
(Disclaimer: I have no idea what 'swing' is, but just go with this, okay?)

Anyway, in Twatto's book, he mentions that there's different type of balls.
There's a Kookaburra, which they use in Australia. It loses its shine after about 10 overs and sucks at swinging.
Then, there's a Duke. Which is what they use in England. And this ball has this awesome shininess that is easy to polish and you can swing the ball all day. (Also, you'd sweat less in England, so the ball would stay dry and hence swing more.)

My point:
Maybe those bastard English pace bowlers were using their special "Duke" ball. Did anyone check? DID THEY? Maybe the umpire doesn't know, and just assumed all balls are the same. Maybe that's why we lost, our bowlers were using the crappy Kookaburra.

Massive freakout.
Those cheaters.
Steve Finn has some answering to do. Especially to me.
And to think... Alastair Cook, the silly mid-on and chief ball-wiperer, didn't even tell me in one of our sexual encounters.
What the heck.

I hate England even more.
And this theory may not even be right, but you know what? I don't really care. I'd do anything to throw a bit of mud at them. ANYTHING.

FUN CRICKET FACTS.



For all you cricketing fans, here is "Who is the most annoying player?"

Some of the best answers:

"Steve Smith, he just oozes stupidity."

"Mitchell Johnson, he touches me and I don't like it."

"Mitchell Johnson pinches a lot."

"(talking about Mitchie J) eats very well, and when it comes out the other end, it's very smelly."


Other fun facts about irrelevant things: Nathan Hauritz loves gadgets, and is always on the phone. (Probably just to Andrew Hilditch and it's probably just one word: PLEASEEEEEEE.)

AUSTRALIA DAY.

Anyway, I went to Hanging Rock during the day.
We got there early, set up our chairs and food and stuff, some people went to put bets on, and waited for the first race.
And waited some more.
Then, when the race was about to start, some kangaroos decide to hop around the racecourse.
So, the horses couldn't race and the security staff people thingy couldn't get the kangaroos off (have you ever heard of shooting a kangaroo on Australia Day? No, me either. A little bit un-Australian, y'know.)

Don't worry, no one shot the kangaroos. They were just left to have their fun on the racecourse, and then, the person on the loudspeaker said that all races were cancelled, and the kangaroos scattered and went elsewhere. WHAT EVEN.

Anyway, it was still only 1pm, so a lot of people continued to stay, betting on the Caulfield races and such.
Some people had brought a beach ball, so they were throwing that around. And it got caught in the tree twice, so people would throw their shoe or an umbrella up there. Good entertainment. :P
And then, some party pooper/policeman got hold of the ball and took it away. Rude.

Oh and in the middle of the racecourse, there was a massive lake with signs all around it saying "Beware: Snakes" and other such warning signs.
And some people (probably after a few drinks) decided to jump in the lake and swim over to the island in the middle. That was entertaining, but then the security/police-y people went over and ordered the people out of the lake.

Overall, it was a good day. I didn't place any bets, but I did walk around the whole racecourse. The horses weren't using it. :P
I didn't get lost at Hanging Rock, hahaha. If I did, I think people would be too absorbed in making a movie about it, then actually searching for me. :/.

Now, onto the cricket.
Besides the fact that they lost and didn't manage to hit many sixes, Australia still did pretty good. They made 276 or something, which is a pretty good score for a One Day match, but unfortunately England had made 299. :(.

If only (t)Watto, DHuss or Cameron White had stayed in longer.

Whatever. Apparently the bowling wasn't too good, with DHuss getting 4 wickets, and Steve Smith getting 3. Brett Lee only got 1, and I don't even think Bollinger got any.
I hope this means Siddle and Hilfenhaus will be back. :).

La la la.
I want Mitchell Johnson to come back in the team, but they don't really need a wicket-taker, just an economical bowler who won't concede many runs. (i.e. Hilfenhaus.)

And yeah.

1ST ODI.

For those of you who don't like cricket, you'll just have to scroll faster. :P

Because this blog post will be about Shane Watson and his epic win at the MCG.
It was really amazing, because England batted first and they made 294, which is a really good score for One Day matches.
And Mitchell Johnson's run out was SO COOL. He bowled the ball, and the batsmen hit it a few metres away and decided to make a single, so Johnson ran over to the ball, kicked it onto the stumps and GOT HIM OUT. Hahahaha.
(Although, Johnson might run off to play for the Socceroos now, but whatever.)

Oh and Stevie Smith got his first wicket for the whole summer! :)
(And then, he got another wicket, yay!)
Although, I had no idea why he came in to bat before Cameron White and the Husseys. He only made about 5 runs, but that's okay because he only faced 4 balls.
(At least he didn't just block each ball, and do defensive shots all the time. That's what Clarke did, and it annoyed me. Seriously? Clarke made about 30 runs, yet probably faced about 60 balls. The required run rate was about 7 per over, and I don't even know if Clarke hit a four.)

Anyway, Mike Hussey and White were really helpful to (t)Watto. They actually made runs, while Watson could have a break up the non-striker's end. :P

And Watson hit, like, 4 sixes or something, and made 161 runs. He has some amount of skill. :D.
He was (obviously) Man Of The Match, with his match-winning century. Haha.

And yeah.
Good times.
Hopefully, Australia can win the other 6 matches, and England can go home crying into their stupid urn. :P

YOUR FACE.

Well. I probably haven't blogged properly in ages. Like, besides the fanfics and stuff. (They are good fanfics, I'd totally read them if I were you.)

I've been watching the Ashes lately. (the cricket- Australia vs England.)
Australia hasn't been doing too well. Like, they were lucky to get a draw for the first match, but in the second match, EVERYTHING was going England's way. :(.
(Well, maybe it was because England > Australia, and their batting and bowling was way better, but whatever. It could've been just luck. Who knows?)

Oh well. Australia can win the next three Test matches, no problem. Just bring in some other players, maybe Hauritz (cos he has experience at Test cricket, right?).
And I don't know who can substitute Marcus North, because you'd need someone who can score runs AND bowl a bit too.
And maybe drop a bowler. idk, maybe Bollinger?

La la la. :)
I watched Glee on Monday night. It was a repeat but still good. ^____^
I so hope that they put the Glee Christmas episode on TV in December, and not next year in March or whenever the ratings season starts again. :/.

Anyway, I am awesome. :P
Goodbye for now, peeps!

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

CRICKET.

So, I watched the cricket last night.
It was epic.
Australia were doing okay with the bat, like Haddin was smashing fours but they kept going out, and no one could make over 50. :(.
And then, Hussey and Marsh came in and had to get Australia back on track.
And they did SUCH a good job. Hussey hadn't really been playing well in recent Test matches so he came out and played Test match-style cricket (i.e. no risks, which means he didn't smash boundaries much) in a One Day match. :P.
And they just made singles, which meant a lot of running, but hey, they got there.

Anyway, then Sri Lanka came in to bat.
And they had to make 240. And Sangakkara and Jaywardene (can't spell, sorry) were like going really well and stuff and I was like, "Oh no, they are going to win... :(."
But Glee was on, so I had to stop watching the cricket. :/.

RECAP OF GLEE:
It was epic.
They did Rocky Horror, and although I had NO idea what was going on, it was still good. :D
Like, Mercedes was Frank-n-furter which means she got to dress like a transvestite. :P. And she was really good at it, even though Frank-n-furter is a boy dressed as a girl, whatever.

And when Emma was singing that Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me song (whatever), she was dancing around Will, and Will was like so mesmerised with the gazing and all that. GET OVER HER, WILL, SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU. No, seriously, she doesn't. Okay, she might, but she has CARL. Carl is good for her, she's not so paranoid with Carl. :).

Another highlight:
Sam, in gold shorts. Wow. Actually, the highlight was Sam, just being present. :D.

Anyhoo, then I watched the cricket (when Glee was finished).
And I missed six wickets! Like, I missed the whole part when Doherty made a mess of the Sri Lankan team. :P.
But anyway, I came back, and Malinga and Mathews were like smashing fours and sixes all over the place and even though they only had 2 wickets in hand, they looked like they could win. :/.

And the bowlers could NOT get the batters out. Clarke was being captain, and he tried every possible way and every possible bowler (except one, but I'll come to that later) but they would not leave. :(.
Then, when the scores were level and Sri Lanka had one more run to make, they hit the ball and Malinga must have been so confident that he'd make it because he got RUN OUT. Ha! So, Murali came in and he was on strike and (t)Watto was bowling and I was like, "please be a draw, come on, please" (because everything is a draw in Australia this year, I mean come on, I've already predicted the Ashes result) and Murali edged it and..... it went for four. :'(.

Whatever.
And the crowd were going ballistic because they were mostly Sri Lankans. :/.

Anyway, the bowler that Clarke didn't try was Steve Smith. I have no idea why. He only bowled 3 overs and had 8 runs scored against him. WHY DIDN'T THEY BOWL HIM? I think he might have been injured. What even.

And I think Clarke should've rung up Ponting. WHERE WAS PONTING? He'd know what to do. He is a good captain, but they're probably saving him for the Ashes. Like, Dougie Bollinger didn't play, probably for the same reason.

Whatev.
In summary, the game was like-
Australia: We're gonna win, we're gonna win~.
Sri Lanka: We gonna bowl you out, mwa ha ha.
Australia: Yay, we made 240, try and beat that, haha!
Sri Lanka: We will, hahahahaha.
Australia: YAY, WE GOT SIX WICKETS, WOOOO~, WE CAN WIN, OMG OMG OMG...................................................... lol jk, cbf.

And yeah. Enjoy your day, peeps!

TV IS AWESOME, HEHE.

CLICK HERE TO ENTER A COMPETITION, OMG. ;).

Well, Sleuth 101 was a good show. :D.
Dave O'Neil was the detective and he had no idea who the murderer was. I thought it was the daughter, whut. Because she was the only one who went in the room, I thought. :/.

Cal Wilson was a good host. She's an awesome ranga, hehe.
And one of the actors was from Thank God You're Here. And I'm like, "I knows you!" because she had acted on Thank God You're Here, lol.

And the AFL started last night (although it was just the NAB cup) but whatev.
I was hoping for Essendon to win (Go Monfries, you good thing!) but noooooo, the not-so-awesome Draft Pick Number 2 had to kick 4 goals or something. :/.

And it rained at the SCG so the cricket match was abandoned. It's funny, West Indies could've won 'cause they bowled Australia out for 225 and Chris Gayle didn't go out in the first over. And the rain stopped them from winning. Haha.
But we didn't get to see much of T-Pain's awesome wicketkeeping skillz. No fair.
And I wanted T-Pain to be all like, "I'M ON A BOAT" but sadly, no.

I'M ON A BOAT, MOFOS, AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET~!

I'm hoping Haddin gets to rest for another match (or maybe ten matches, just saying) so that T-Pain can show his skillz. ;).
Because we all know T-Pain > Haddin. (Although, T-Pain could take a fishing trip with Symonds and be like, "I've got my swim trunks, and my flippie floppies, I'm flippin' burgers~!").

Hehe.
TAYG is on Sunday (with the Nat Bass), Good News Week is on Monday (with the ultra-cute Josh Thomas) and SYTYCDA is on Wednesday (yeah, expect another rant, lolwhut).
:P.
