Made My Day

The Daily Telegraph's #stopthetrolls campaign.

Led by Ray Hadley. Oh, and in Sunday's news...

After the bastion of social media etiquette Robbie Farah started the campaign, of course.

Made my day - this is cricket related but don't know where to post it in cc. I will keep it short.

Bowling made my day. I am a batsman and don't give a rats ass about bowling. But for the past two weeks suddenly I have been able to seam the ball at will (mostly because I have been searching the ball bag for a ball with a protruding seam). I am getting it to go on 50% of my deliveries where I want it to. I am just pointing the seam where I want it to go and landing it on the seam and it is working. Got the captain out two weeks in a row and now he wants to bowl me.
Who knew there could be such joys achievable from bowling the perfect leg cutter and beating the bat.

Ruined

After much deliberation about how to express my opposition to the AFL coming to wellington - I am opting for a letter to the rugby union - just deciding on who I address it to now.

^Serious? I love my rugby but would never write a letter complaining about another sports event coming to my city...unless I supported Rugby League of course.

They've hardly declared war on rugby union! Can't believe this, really surprising. I mean how is this a bad thing in any way?

Its like Londoners complaining that they get an NFL game!

...only to learn our government has imposed prohibition on selling booze with +20% alcohol. More than 20 people have died after consuming illegally produced alcohol in pubs in the past week

Bah - even if we lose 1% of our player base I will be mad. The AFL is going through our schools and running programs for our youngsters - so the big game in Wellington is just the tip of the iceberg.

The only thing we're good at is rugby why try to convert our youngsters.
