Consumption Malfunction - the original sin.

Hewitt to Ponting: You're Not Arrogant Enough.

January 8th 2008 22:08
Former sports champion Lleyton Hewitt, the son of the late Princess Diana, has appealed to the Australian cricket team to "make it hotter for those curries".

Citing the non-violent protests of the renegade spinner Gandhi as a precedent, Hewitt believes that "These retards are just a pack of retards. C'mon, I should know. I have a double-handed backhand."

Some commentators can remember when the whingeing Aussies went to Pakistan and fell out of flavour with their curries.

Ponting has told the curries repeatedly that "Naan of yous is any good".

Hewitt returned this with his trademark shot that hits halfway up the net followed by one off the frame.

"You'd have to be bananas to be appealing for everything", said one very attractive primate in a hat.

The furore that has erupted over the indiscriminate appealing of the Australians is reserved exclusively for a table of Commonwealth nations.

Just the title alone had me laughing. It still has. The possibilities re dialogue between those two having a chat about arrogance is priceless. "You have to smash the bat Punter not just throw it around the dressing room. It's not lke you pay for them. GIve it here. I'll show you how to do it." 10/10 for the best sports article title of 2008.

I couldn't say that I didn't think your articles shouldn't take the cake.
What I mean is that I think yours are 11/10

This brings me to the point about effort. Years ago to put in 100% was to give sport everything. Well, that's no longer good enough. Unless you put in at least 110% now, it's just not up to scratch. Not good enough. As the interviews after matches reveal: "All credit to the boys on the field. Without them I couldn't have put in a 243% effort." By 2013 if you're not putting in a 2000% effort, I doubt you'll make the team. The bottom (not Side ... BoTT ...om) line to all this is, thanks for the encouragement, compliments and support but don't underrate your own efforts. That was a 12/10 Title.

I wouldn't dream of under-rating my own efforts.
It was at least a 12.
Maybe even an 11.
