they’ve still got daren ganga
Despite the fact that they have way more humility than what some NSW players have in their pinky….despite the fact that they lost T&T still have Daren Ganga.
That is awesome because:
1. He ahs dhat shexy ahcent
2. He is a better leader than anybody in the tournament, he fills in for God on his sick days, apparently
3. He is more attractive than the whole of the NSW team
4. He is modest about their achievements and honest about their mistakes
Australians are like the Asians with the squint eyes. Like them – only not so obvious on it with the looks and their audio and vocal sensors are better developed. I don’t like that they are so good. At everything. EVERYTHING. They’re aliens.

romance is as dead as chivalry
and it had to take a bunch of Australians to prove it. As upset as I am about the loss, it really was kind of inevitable. I’ve been told on numerous occasions that if it sounds too good to be true then it is. As was the case with the Trinidad & Tobago fairytale.
I just can’t understand why Australian sportsmen are so damn good. I hate it.
Anyway, no need to fret. T & T should be proud. They’ve achieved what nobody expected them to. And they’ve opened the floodgates to talent in the West Indies.
Daren Ganga for president and West Indies captain. Kieron Pollard for mafia boss and assault master. Lendl Simmons for the cute poster boy. Add to that Nikita Miller as disco DJ to leave opposition in a spin and we are on our way to a great West Indies team.
I just had half a bottle of peri peri sauce with dinner because I wasn’t concentrating.
On a different note, I am very happy to have found somebody who shares my love for Daren Ganga. Check out Maiden Bowling.

Holy water, Chelsea scare me!
There is only one club in London. And, although I have absolutely real affiliation with Arsenal, they are still the team I support. And I still chirp like a Londoner would. Funny, though. Most Arsenal fans don’t actually come from London. Don’t you just love branding and marketing?
Anyway, what I am getting it is….I have taken a fancy to the Chelsea pub in Cape Town. It’s a lovely little spot called Mitchell’s Brewery at the Waterfront and while they have awesome pints, they also serve awesome food. We went there last night to watch the game (which I didn’t really since I was pretty hammered by the time they kicked off) and I am really worried. Chelsea are looking like a bit of a juggernaut. Aston Villa showed that they can be beaten but then it just turns to a case of the walking wounded. I am really, really worried. I still hate them. Not just cause of the heartbreak they caused during the FA Cup last year but just because I hate them. Frank Lampard is a chav and John Terry is a mongrel.
On a differnt note, and I’ll definitely write more on this later, but the mister today referred to my take on Trinidad & Tobago as romantic. And not just because I’ve been cooing over Daren Ganga (so sexy!!) for the past few weeks.
No, it’s a romantic story. Beautifully romantic, it warms my heart. No talent in the Caribbean? Sodd off. Good on you boys for making it to the final.

Trinidad & Tobago do it again
Not only do they have a sexy captain but they are definitely the most exciting team in the Twenty20 Champions League.
Trinidad & Tobago are dynamite!
Kieron Pollard should be charged with assault. 54 from 18….holy mother. Daren Ganga actually managed to score some runs this time around – good on him. While the Aussie bowlers toiled and fumbled Pollard was having a field day.
Good to see Phil Hughes back in form and Dwayne Bravo still taking wickets and even better to see a normal West Indies side do so well. Ah, it arouses me, it does. I hope they win this tourney. Seriously. They deserve it more than Slumdog Millionaire deserved the Oscar.
And I hope that the West Indies selectors get some sense in their thick skulls. There is light at the end of the tunnel for West Indies cricket. If the administration can stop being little girls then I firmly believe that Caribbean cricket is well on its way to the good old days. Then I can finally retire to St. Kitts and open that beach bar…

Daren Ganga is ah hottie, mon
Yes, he is! I think it’s the accent that does it, really. But here’s one for all the other cricket loving ladies.
There is even something for the boys. I would not say no
balls to the wall and a little more action please
I got to watch my first game of the Twenty20 Champions League last night. IPL Champs Deccan Chargers against surprise-Standford performerss Trinidad & Tobago.
I must say, I was pleasantly surprised and reminded, in the most delightful manner, just why I do enjoy a bit of hit and giggle from time to time. This game really has the potential to be entertaining. That’s, of course, if you are amused by men with sticks slapping balls around in big open spaces.
I really enjoyed Trinidad & Tobago, though. As fellow blogger Kit Kat pointed out, these guys have got the entertainment factor down to a T. Couple that with Daren Ganga and his sexy accent on the mic (Da men chan’t all hea me so I haaf to be patient) and some good performances by Dwayne Bravo and you’ve got a pretty good formula for a really good match.
What makes it even better is that Trinidad & Tobago aren’t some moneybags team who have managed to rope in the best players money can buy. No. They’re simple boys with raw talent from the Caribbean. I’ve got a really, really soft spot for the West Indies. Lendl Simmons could be their saving grace – this boy is going to go far. It’s a real delight to see a West Indies side doing well after all the strike drama and after they copped a bollocking against Bangladesh (sic).
Forward and onward West Indies cricket!
Poor Deccan. They have not won a single match on their home turf. It’s a bit masochistic, perhaps.
