Just unleashed and coming at unsuspecting Kiwi cricket fans this evening like an Andrew Penn roundhouse right..it is the 40th episode of the Beige Brigade podcast, The BYC. This week it is “The Ginger Virgin Extravaganza” episode in which the ‘S Pollock Griff XI’ is selected, the Ruse beats the chaps again, Billy is jealous of Tony, and the Woman Slayer is on strike…
Be damn hard to find anywhere more yummy for tea tonight than this - surely… Straight from the heart of Wellington’s up-and-coming suburb of Newtown. Only the best ‘authentic Polynesian cuisine’ here - hope Ma’a is aware of it. Having missed out on the Rugby World Cup squad, Nonu may have moved into alternative sources of income…
Once axed from South Australia’s contract system for domestic players because he was too porky, Mark Cosgrove is a bit of a renegade. Love this latest “incident”:
Cosgrove, Victorian Aaron Finch and New South Wales batsman David Warner are to leave the centre following their sanction for “repeated inappropriate treatment of accommodation facilities”.
This year’s intake has been housed at the recently-opened Goldsborough Place Apartments in Brisbane, and it is understood that 23-year-old Cosgrove, Finch and Warner, both 20, were warned several times about a lack of cleanliness and hygiene in their rooms.
But their general untidiness continued until complaints from apartments staff filtered back to CA, leading to the suspension.
It seems un-Australian to reprimand an Aussie bloke for being fat and messy. It’s a birth right surely? Immense girth, immense potential, immense brain.
A good point is rasied in the Sky Sport forum. There is a bloke over there convinced that Murali looks like Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It is a good call.
Pamplona is carnage at the best of times - but jumping off the statue at the Mussell Bar is one of the more stupid. That didn’t stop Beige Brigade tour leader Dave Hall (complete in his full set of sweat bands) - climbing the 4 metre statue and diving off! He is the first ‘crazy’ chap to dive off…and the first person to talk to the lovely Bettie….She is then mobbed by a bunch of feral incoherent Aussies. But Dave was ‘very excited’
Wonderful piece from Sky’s Total Rugby show on the exploits of several friends of the Beige Brigade in the College Rifles Fight Night. Love your work Cam, Dougs and Neat Meat…
Each week on The BYC , the Beige Brigade podcast, The Woman Slayer unleashes a tribute to some random element of cricket. This week it was an inspired version of OMC’s How Bizarre saluting the commercial and physical aspects of the wonderful Monty Panesar.
You’re only 25 yet your career has begun
Standing proudly in your patka - in the hot,hot sun
I bet your Mum and Dad are proud of their boy
When you get a wicket you like to jump for joy
Your spin bowling shows that you have magic wrists
But the magic smile has made you the face of Walkers crisps
Panesar…Panesar…Panesar
All of your fans think that you are the best
Tshirts say ‘I HEART Monty’ written boldly on their chests
If you want to know where to get this merchandise from
You can always just visit monty panesar dot com
Panesar…Panesar…Panesar
Ooh Monty
He look good don’t he?
With your beard and black patka
With your beard and black patka
With your beard and black patka
And your smiling face
In which The BYC selects (with Conor Wright) the ‘Merv Hughes Moustachioed XI’, the Ruse comes through again, Billy is bleating, and the Woman Slayer serenades the man with a name that is an anagram of Parmesan Tony…
Like most Bangladeshi batsmen, the new opener had a weakness just outside off-stump and wore a retro 1980s helmet…
This Indian newspaper article is pretty weird…what the hell is Hogan on about? Odd Indian chicks sending him emails and the possibility he may throw his hat in the coaching ring…
Crowe himself was ‘pleasantly surprised’ when he came to know that his application is with BCCI. Surprised, because Crowe says he hasn’t applied himself, though he is interested in the job. Crowe is one of the three new names in the race to be India’s next coach, a post lying vacant since Greg Chappell quit following a disastrous World Cup campaign…It is the high-profile Crowe’s entry which makes the race very interesting. “A few days ago, I got an e-mail from Aishwarya. She claimed that she was a researcher based in London and a cricket fan. I assume the person is a student. This person got my contact from Justin Vaughan (New Zealand Cricket CEO) who asked if he could pass it on.” Further, Aishwarya wrote to Crowe claiming that she knew someone in BCCI and would be able to put his name up for the coach’s job. “While I was surprised by the email, I was interested in finding out more about this. I replied saying that I will speak to my good friend Ravi (Shastri) and find out more. I am looking for a career change but coaching has never crossed my mind.”
We are back!
Episode 38 of The BYC has just been pulled together on a filthy Wellington night - would certainly be difficult conditions for batting. Dipak Patel could bowl 150 clicks with the wind behind him at The Basin this evening…
We love this bloke who ran naked at an NPC ‘warm-up’ game in icy Invercargill - a -3 degree streak wearing socks is a senational effort every time.
Even better is the fact that his socks are up for auction on TradeMe - we’re leading the bidding as of this moment - with all proceeds going to the Winton Volunteer Fire Brigade. Man, how good are the people from Winton?! Check here for one of the Beige Brigade’s favourite southern sons.
