I don't like Cricket

Is Warney secretly English?

John Buchanan is not respected by the authors of this blog.

But we it is hard to find better words describing our contempt than those that Shane "Bowlin' Warney" Warne used to describe Bootcamp Billy:
"He [Buchanan] has been our coach during a successful era - but that begs a question does the coach make the team or does the team make the coach?... I'm a big believer that the coach is something you travel in to get to and from the game! You need some sort of team manager more than a coach - like we have at Hampshire with Paul Terry, where the captain runs the team and the manager sorts out everything else... International players know how to play. You don't need a coach getting too technical. You can forget that you just need to bowl the ball."

And this is the killer line:
"John and I get along OK but... I think that his methods over-complicate issues and at some stages he has lacked common sense."

I think we've got this series in the bag, boys and girls.

Shane, people call you fat and old; you can barely bowl a googly anymore; you've only got one eye; you text too much. But you bowled out Gatting and we like you. Come back to your natural home and play for England.
