Definitely hero this time
21st July 2008
Jimmy Anderson's hero status has been confirmed in the second Test by his brave batting where he scored a timely 38 but was hit first on the hand and then on the head by the bowling of Steyn (who looks like a rat if you ask me).
Jimmy said at least having his head hit made him forget how much his hand hurt. What a guy eh?

JULY: MOHAMMAD ASHRAFUL
Mohammad became Captain of the Bangladeshi side at only 22. But he has always been a bit of a boy wonder having been the youngest player ever to make a Test century when he was 17. He has had ups and downs in form but at his best is a brilliant batsman with like heaps of charisma and pretty much a genius really. He is a huge star in Bangladesh but is like a normal guy and when abroad buys lots of souvenirs for all his family bless.
And...
he will be 24 on July 7th so Happy Birthday Ash!!

For those of you who haven't a clue...
..which let's face it was me too until just a short time ago.
Here is a nice diagram of Cricket Shots:
This is for a right-handed batsman.
If the batsman's left-handed the shots are like this (no I can't turn the words round but you can read mirror-writing surely - what did you do all day at school?)

The Chanelleworld Calendar: June
Luke Wright
And here for June is Luke looking as aggressive as he can manage lol.
He is 23 and a Pisces who plays for Sussex and is definitely a rising star in Twenty20 having been approached to play in the IPL (that's the Indian Premier League for those of you who only come onto this blog for the shoes).
Luke is an all-rounder with what is called an explosive batting style and has just been picked to play for England in the one-day matches against New Zealand. He will open the batting with Ali Cook which makes for a pretty fit opening combo if you ask me :)
However there is no doubt yeah that England's up and coming cricketers need some serious hair advice.

A worrying trend
So everyone is telling us that this summer we must wear yellow. This is good news if you're black or Hispanic or Asian or Japanese but for us like English rose British types who are slightly mauve it is going to be a seriously bad idea.
Even these very wonderful Jimmy Choos could have a disastrous effect on like Scottish girls.
Unless they're appearing in Balamory.

The Chanelleworld Calendar: May
Ravi BoparaYes here is May's pin-up - the cute Ravi from Essex! Looking sort of moody and thoughtful in this pic.
And I have delayed posting this until today the 4th of May because today is Ravi's birthday!!
This means of course he is a Taurus which should not surprise most people as he has a forceful personality and he is 23 today.
Ravi's nickname is supposed to be Puppy but I am not calling a bloke Puppy for anything no matter how good a cricketer he is. So Happy Birthday Mr Bopara:)
He's a wicked batsman who can bowl too and so far for England he has played well at the World Cup and pretty horribly in Sri Lanka but he is still developing as a player and his time will come. Meanwhile he does all right for Essex so I'm not complaining lol.
He also had a bit of publicity last year for turning a 4x4 over while on some sort of sponsor's rally type thing. All of us here at Chanelleworld (ie me) hope that he will be like curbing this sort of impulse yeah as boy racers are just the most boring men in the entire world and Essex has enough of them already believe me:)) So if the sponsors gave you a new car for your birthday Ravi just take it easy yeah?

Football intrudes in my life again
April 9th 2008
So I got home to my humble flat yeah after being round at Alisha's to see her new bag which is very very expensive and chicly smart and from Anya Hindmarch grr spit.
And the first thing I saw right was the TV on with a replay of someone in a red shirt that even I know is Stevie Gerrard doing a celebration yeah and my heart sank because for those of you who aren't aware my boyfriend Karl is both a football anorak and an Arsenal supporter.
And I could smell toast.
And there was Karl in the kitchen making lots and lots of toast and with what is known as a face like thunder. So I was like, I thought you were going to watch the match at Paul's house? and he said Paul started crying so he thought he'd better leave.
And I changed the channel yeah but not before I saw the score had been 4-2 to Liverpool and I knew we were in for big trouble because I didn't have much bread in the kitchen and the Sikh shop would be shut. The question was would Karl be upset enough to walk to the Turkish shop which stays open later. Because when Arsenal lose he has to have toast.
Also when they lose he has to come round to mine and can't stay at home in his own place and suffer right because men are like that.
But I am worried because when the fortunes of Arsenal are like in decline then Arsene Wenger gets thinner and thinner and Karl gets fatter and fatter and this is like an imbalance that the world could do without.
But he was too upset to walk anywhere so we had hours of big sulks about the referee and not enough toast and the only marmalade being poncy lime stuff yeah and fond as I am of Karl yeah I was forced to go and look at a lot of shoes on the net while he phoned all his Arsenal supporting mates and swore a lot.
Like I have said many times before yeah football is death to relationships. Though good for the bread industry lol.

Who is this? You may well ask lol for this is a rising star and you may not have seen him yet.
Tim Southee of New Zealand.
Tim is 19 and a Sagittarius. Like our very own Stuart Broad Tim is a bowler who can bat. In fact yeah he can bat more than a bit as he showed in his debut Test against England when he hit 77 off 40 balls which is like pretty exceptional. And before that and more importantly he took 5 England wickets for 55.
Remember the name because we're going to hear plenty more about him and I bet his photo will be on a lot of girls' bedroom walls:))

Love This Guy
26th March 2008
So Jimmy Anderson (see last post) turned out to be not Superman and just as annoying as ever yeah but DON'T YOU JUST LOVE RYAN?????
Here is like a perfect example of a man who is not hot by any like widely accepted standards yeah and could never in six trillion years be described as chicly smart and yet he is LUVLY. And he is a bowler of discipline and energy and dependableness which is a substance in short supply chez Team England huh.
He goes into a special category I now have called Ginger Guys Who Will Never Let The Side Down, along with fellow gritty northerner Paul Collingwood. Ian Bell is knocking on the door asking to be included in this category but he has a way to go yet to prove his worth lol.
So hurray and hoorah England have won the Test series against New Zealand and soon New Zealand will come over here and we can do it all again.

Hero to Zero and Back Again
14th March 2008
Is Jimmy Anderson really Superman after all lol?
I bet Ryan Sidebottom and Jimmy would like to swop a bit of each other's lives yeah.
Jimmy had like too much recognition when he was very young and inexperienced yeah and was being hailed on all sides as the great new talent blah blah. Except he didn't really know all that much and things went wrong for him *sigh* resulting in years in that well-known wilderness where like people go that experts have decided are no good after all :( And he got injured too.
While nobody took any notice of Ryan at all yeah and he like slogged away for his county and concentrated on growing his hair for what as they say must have seemed like an eternity. And no doubt he was well pissed off right in a quiet way when other people got picked for the Test side right and he was called things like county trundler duh. When in fact yeah he's very good.
So one got like too much publicity and the other not enough.
Anyway now they are both in the England side where they belong if you ask me and Jimmy has taken 5 New Zealand wickets yeah and there is a lot of jumping about and saying hooray and hurrah.
They seem like a good team :)) and with the lovely Stuart (see February) and the one and only Monty yeah we may have a new bowling attack fingers crossed touch wood and don't tread on the cracks in the pavement.
Or Jimmy may screw it up again *sigh* don't let's say that though cos it would be like cruel in his moment of triumph.

Groundhog Day
3rd March 2008
So here we are and spring has sort of sprung though it is supposed to snow later this week. But there is a feeling of like progress about most things at this time of year yeah and New Year resolutions are way in the past and life goes on.
Except. This year so far it has seemed that India and Australia have got like totally stuck like always playing cricket against each other.
It started back in December 2007 right with the Test Match series which is called the Border Gavaskar Trophy. So they played four of those and then they played a Twenty/20 game and then began the Commonwealth Bank Series which is being played between Australia, India and Sri Lanka and in that Series they all play against each other over and over again yeah and it hasn’t finished yet. So for more than two months right there has been always a cricket match on or about to be on or just finished between the Indians and the Australians.
Now this wouldn’t matter so much right except that they like totally hate each other right well their supporters do anyway. Trouble kicked off at the Test in Sydney and there were accusations of abuse etc etc as I have mentioned before yeah. And even though Australia have won most of the many many encounters since yeah there has been no lightening up *sigh* and you still cannot set your virtual foot on a cricket blog without being surrounded by Aussies and Indians like hurling insults at each other yeah about aborigines and the caste system and all kinds of stuff which is so so stupid because if you go back like 150 years right everybody was downtreading somebody and there was still slavery and that was then this is now.
And I said to Karl I was like I really hate this yeah what has happened to my cricket blogs which were full of nice old people worrying about whether or not Monty Panesar is truly developing a fine cricket brain and how vulnerable is Ali Cook if they keep bowling outside his off stump and suchlike things. I said it’s like being back at school with all this overheated testosterone yeah but Karl was like on the footie blogs this is completely normal right so I give up.
Anyway there are now three final matches in the Commonwealth Bank Series and Sri Lanka right who are really good players yeah but have been kind of like a greyhound between two rottweilers lol have gone home yeah probably heaving sighs of relief and so the three final matches are between guess who. And like only in cricket would you have three finals yeah I thought final meant last not last but two duh.
As I write this India have won the first of the finals yeah in a convincing fashion as the saying goes. The great Sachin Tendulkar right who is known as The Little Master which would totally piss me off if I was him has scored a fine century yeah after not we must admit doing anything like spectacular in the earlier rounds so just in time eh Sachin :). Harbhajan Singh has been rude again *sigh* but perhaps everybody is getting used to it now yeah or at least have run out of energy to make a fuss or is that too much to hope for anyway Hayden said something snotty about him on the radio yawn yawn yawn yawn you see the problem. And Australia managed to be defeated without actually grinding their teeth to fine powder right but it was a close thing lol and India are certainly in with a chance of winning the CB series if it ever ends.
Because in fact this Commonwealth Bank is making me remember when I first was introduced to cricket yeah and thought it was a form of slow torture and although in theory right it will soon be over and it seems they will not be doing it again yeah I have a strange strange feeling that part of the cricket world has stepped over into another dimension yeah and somewhere the Indians and Australians will always be playing cricket against each other and there will be nothing anyone in our like version of the universe can do.
Perhaps yeah they are like those ancient Greeks who died and had to spend the like afterlife pushing big rocks up hills and stuff yeah or maybe the not quite legendary Ricky Ponting yeah has struck a bargain with the Devil so that he can play India for like all eternity until his legendary status is established.
Maybe when they get on their planes yeah and think they are going home the planes will like go through some hole in space and time and they will step off the planes and find they are mysteriously back where they started right and have to play all the matches again yeah would they be allowed to have different results I wonder.
I am quite worried about this like feeling of trappedness and like endless repetition not to say paranormal doom yeah but Karl says if I supported one of the top four in the Premier League I would be quite used to feeling like this so there we are.
Update 4th March 2008
Well so India have just won the second final yeah which means they have won the Commonwealth Bank Series hooray and hurrah and the Aussies are smiling while grinding their teeth again yeah and will probably say oh it’s just the CB it doesn’t matter right which is what they said when we beat them in the last one lol.
And now we shall find out yeah because they won’t play the third final right on account of there is like a result yeah so the teams should be like dispersing now and going home but...will they get there yeah? Will there ever be like an end? Will those planes land in our dimension or in like somewhere else right where they have to start all over again with the Border Gavaskar Tests? Am I right and they are doomed forever throughout like unending time?
Alisha is saying Chanelle you have completely lost the plot and this is what getting into cricket does for you.

MARCH: IRFAN PATHAN
Irfan looks like a really nice guy don't you think?
He is 23 years old and a Scorpio. I tried to think up a clever gag about his bowling having a sting in its tail but I couldn't so you'll have to do it for yourselves lol.
Irfan had a brilliant start to his career and was being hailed as the next big thing well as we all know that is the kiss of death for anyone and sure enough yeah he had a horrendous slump in form sigh. But he is back now in a big way hooray and hurrah and has got back into the India side and and was Man of the Match in the famous Perth Test victory (see below).

Best Cricketing Quote of the Year (so far)
England's strawberry blond hero Paul Collingwood after leading his team to a seriously unusual tie against New Zealand:
"I don't know what emotions to feel, to be honest. I don't know whether to feel happy or sad or just equal."
"I don't know what emotions to feel, to be honest. I don't know whether to feel happy or sad or just equal."

The Chanelleworld Calendar: February
And here is this month's pin-up the tall blond Stuart Broad. Stuart is famous for being 6' 5" most of which seems to be legs lol. He is 21 now and a Cancerian with a June birthday.
He plans to be a bowling all-rounder yeah but at the moment is mainly a fastish bowler who has been very successful for his age (don't mention Yuvraj Singh tho).
There has been a lot of talk about his angelic looks right but to me Stuart looks like that boy at school who seemed so sweet yeah but turned out to be the one that put the dead frog in your locker:) I think he is a bit of a winner with a hidden ruthless streak yeah and will be around with England cricket for a long time if he doesn't get injured like all our other bowlers!! Careful Stu :))
Rumour has it yeah that Stu and the lovely Ali Cook and the fairly lovely Jimmy Anderson have been photographed in the nude for what is either one of those charity calendars or a very saucy ad campaign lol. Our investigators are trying to uncover the evidence...
