Reporting this tournament in any sort of conventional style would be pretending this is a sporting event.
It’s not. Its an entertainment juggernaut.
It doesn’t matter who wins or loses, but who entertains you.
Here is a run down of the players who can be relied upon for some sort of pleasure.
Bangalore: still look like a librarian, but [...]

Crikey’s NRL Hot Form Chart
For three years Melbourne has swayed atop the NRL tree, but just as it seems the branches underneath it are cracking along comes a Finch. Theoretically the Storm’s new recruit will shake up their currently predictable game-plan but it may just be that Melbourne has already fallen from the perch.
There is [...]
Drag-style shootout Formula 1 vs Ford GT
April 14, 2009 – 2:57 pm
Kudos to Crikey reader Dan Frawley who was at the Dubai Autodrome on Friday.
The Grand Prix is coming to Abu Dhabi and the Renault team were there last week with a couple of cars and they loaned one out to Mohammad Bin Sulayem, 14 times Middle East rally champion. The day ended up [...]
England struggle to fill number three
April 14, 2009 – 7:00 am
Usually the Ashes cannot be lost until the tests have been played. England couldn’t wait.
They had three number 3 candidates, and were busting to try them against players born in Australia. Their scores were 12, 12 and 5.
A player by the name of Callum Thorp, who played about 15 or so games for Western Australia, [...]

Crikey’s NRL Hot Form Chart
The man who took the first step on Manly’s journey to stone motherless last on both the NRL ladder and Crikey’s Hot Form Chart, returns this week. Whether Brett Stewart alone can turn around the premier’s abject on-field fortunes, however, is a matter of consternation.
But if the Sea Eagles are Robinson [...]
Michael Vaughan is here to win the Ashes
April 8, 2009 – 10:10 am
Michael Vaughan is going to come back, there is no stopping the Vaughanernaut now.
The Guardian has been on the case all week. He made runs in some exotic land for Yorkshire and that is more than enough.
He is back, and as everyone knows, Australia cannot handle the raw brainpower of Vaughan, remember when he won [...]
Allen Stanford swears
April 7, 2009 – 9:40 am
All cricket fans should see this.
Well maybe not all, but any who laughed at the whole Stanford Superseries 20 million dollar game, or like to see billionaires fail.
ABC in America have interviewed him.
And in the Interview he swears, strangely doesn’t deny he is a CIA operative, says the word Ponzi (alot), threatens [...]
30 of the best, mostly
April 4, 2009 – 12:19 pm
Australia has released their top 30 players for the world T20 (you can’t call it a 2020 world cup, it is, but don’t you dare call it that).
They will only pick 15 for the actual event, but the 30 says something about their mindset, they are anti Dirk Nannes.
I am at a loss to work [...]
Cricket’s new breed
April 3, 2009 – 1:28 pm
These are the guys that are leading cricket right now, forget about old men like Ponting and Tendulkar, these are the dudes.
All these players are winning matches, and/or bringing in the crowds.

Bats like bowling all rounders are supposed to; bowls like left armers almost never do; and has gone from a run leaking [...]

Crikey’s NRL Hot Form Chart
It’s been a week of farewells in the lead-up to round four of the NRL season: Todd Carney farewelled his dignity (apparently he had some left); Newcastle is farewelling Newcastle; Max Delmege is farewelling Manly; and Manly is farewelling its premiership defence.
The Sea Eagles slumped to 13th on the Hot Form [...]
