  • I think those speed guns are a load of crap. Somehow the white ball goes faster - I bowled 83-84mph in the Test match, and 93mph in the one-dayers. It's crazy. I hadn't bowled a ball for ten days.

    Better cricketers buy Lara Bingles

    By Will last year, at the end of October Leave a comment on this post

    Struggling with form? Can’t find the middle of your bat? Depressed in the slips and unable to concentrate? Worry no more! Get yourself a life-sized Lara Bingle doll!

    Michael Clarke from Australia did just that - and is reaping the rewards handsomely. “Seeing somebody like Lara certainly makes me happy. I have something to look forward to when I get home,” Clarke said of his new Lara doll. “I enjoy spending every spare second I get with her.”

    But Clarke has a warning for you aspiring cricketers: don’t rush out to buy a Bingle without carefully considering where she will sit in your home. “I’ve got renovations going on in my house at the moment,” Clarke said. “Maybe she will move in when they are finished.”

    Don’t confide her to your homestead though. Take her to a nice restaurant. But remember: her right hand is superglued to her left arm, so position her appropriately.

    If you can bear the nauseous tripe, every Australian newspaper has it all in sickly lovey-dovey detail for you.

    “Every Australian newspaper” is slight exaggeration, Will. There is nothing about Bingle in the SMH or the Australian. Nor have i seen these TV ads or anything about Tonk a Pom.

    Do you think its time you got a life outside burrowing through the Aussie entertainment industry?
