Golden Bat!

Sorry to have yet another post with pictures and no substance but I found the bat! Ignore the diamond studded, disco-like Man-of-the-series award. Focus on the bat. I know it's simple but that's the way I like it.

I'm just sad that the bat is not big enough to actually play with. On second thought, maybe little Phil Hughes can make use of it!

Champions Trophy Prizes

Shane Watson received the gazillion dollars watch for the finals. It's an ugly watch by all standards, so I won't be putting up a picture to preserve the sanctity of my blog. But here's a picture of Watto realizing that he will only be able to pair this with the jacket during the Elton John musical.


Ricky Ponting got the golden bat for scoring 288 runs in the tournament. I am shattered by the fact that I have yet to find a picture of this magnificent bat and ball to share with you. They really are the sexiest things you have ever seen.


According to records, ICC's not mine, Wayne Parnell remains the highest wicket taker in the tournament with 11 wickets. He therefore gets the golden ball. Since there is no picture I'm guessing Parnie did not show to pick it up. His excuse better be 'practicing for an English demolition' because it is a disgrace to not show up at your own event for an honour. Specially when further inspection reveals that the 11 wickets is accompanied by an Economic rate of 7. I hope Majola personally delivers this one to Wayne, along with a few smacks on his head.

Michael Jackson comes to cricket

First the suave jacket and the white gloves (clearly a homage to MJ), now the golden bat and the golden ball. I'm talking about Champions Trophy prizes. The Saffers really know how to do it in style.

I've been looking for pictures for over twenty minutes now. My best friend google has failed me for the first time in my life. I don't want to talk about it. It hurts too much.

(If you have pictures of the Jacket, gloves, the bat and the ball please send them to me.)

The Golden Bat is for the batsman with the highest number of runs who,ironically, at the moment is Graeme Smith. This is why Biffy pulled out of the Champions League. He wanted to be around to collect his bat personally. It's going right next to his Thriller jacket. Who needs the pimped out white one when you have the legendary red one?

The Golden Ball goes to the bowler with the highest number of wickets....Wayne Parnell. This is the saddest shit ever. Don't try to tell me that these are positives. They aren't. They are big 'SUCKERS' signs. Huge. Ginormous.

Btw, if you are a nineties baby and don't know what all these MJ-related terms are in reference to, you suck. Go away and don't show your face. Ever.
