So I'm watching my first Twenty20 Big Bash match.

Um, why aren't we booing The Chucker anymore?

This isn't the Australia I know.

a) he's playing for an Australian side now

b) he's one of the most likable people in cricket. It's such a shame he chucks

c) now that he's not challenging for Warne's rightful position as best spinner ever, the hate has disappeared.

Not for me.

And, seriously, if you deleted the Chucker and Fat Silly Ranatunga from history, Sri Lanka historically would be my second favourite cricketing country. But **** those guys.

Murali is my favourite cricketer ever.

Such an evil statement contrasted with a Bob Belcher avatar is a diabolical troll... please infract yourself now.

I loved Warne as well. I grew up loving spinners.

But I find Australias hatred for Murali unconscionable when they happily hold a drug cheat, bookie cheat Warne in such high regard.

If your mother was a pickpocket wouldn't you love her more than the average pickpocket?

Or to put it another way, Warne didn't cheat every time he rolled the arm over.

Neither did Murali?

Thanks, ICC.

Don't forget adulterer

Don't forget adulterer

I never judge an adulterer.

Well he was punching incredibly far above his weight so its hard to be too harsh on him.

So I've gotten myself into a ridiculous sleeping pattern (going to bed at 6am, waking up at 2-3pm) and I have to fix this before the 7th (going away). I was going to go to bed earlier tonight but that didn't work out. Instead, I'm not going to sleep until around 10pm tonight and sleeping normally in a last ditch effort to correct my sleeping pattern. I'm very much hoping this doesn't backfire and leave me tired and still with a shit sleeping pattern.

Edit: Oh, and I'm going to watch all of the second season of Breaking Bad.

If you go to the SCG today and you're not wearing pink are you refused entry?

.... and I'm going to watch all of the second season of Breaking Bad.

I keep recording and watching episodes of that show from Foxtel to see why people rave about it, it just doesn't click for me. I can see why it might be a cult hit but no, everybody loves it.
Last night Walt and Jesse were in the lab and Walt refused to start the cook because there was a fly in there. 2/3 of the episode was, superficially, about catching the fly. It was clever and subtle but glacially slow, and most episodes I glance at are like that. I guess I'll keep trying.

You have to watch it sequentially, random episodes are just not going to get it done.

Tough to get into a show after it's been hyped so outrageously. If you make it to the end you will be highly satisfied though.

There is no justice in cricket if Haddin's last dismissal in Test cricket is by that pie-chucker Baldrick.

That is my favourite episode of the series, but you're never going to appreciate it by watching it as a random episode. There's a lot of backstory that make the episode great, none of which you are going to know.

I'm in a similar situation though not quite as bad.

Younger brother had like 12 people over last night as the parents were away, so I hid away in my room like a gentleman. Was bored as **** and almost went to bed at 10.30 and probably could have slept, but then an hour passed for no reason and I decided to watch the WPC ACE grand finals which took about 6 hours.

Derp.

Its a pretty slow episode though..

The best part of the series is how addictive it gets at points, when its just action action action and you don't really know what will happen next. The slow periods are almost unbearable for mine.
