he's a deeply insecure & troubled individual whose efforts to be laddish really don't work, and apparently a lovely bloke in reality. when i met him every other word was a swear word :D

in the *bows heads* fenner's indoor net training facility, working on my legspin with a cambridge university cricketer friend of mine. northants were playing the ucce and he was practicing his batting. he asked me if I wanted to bowl at him
and I said
"no sorry, I'm working on something here"
possibly the single most ascetic moment of my entire life

panesar's not a v good batsman at pro level but he'd have fucking destroyed me. he was doing all sorts of slogging in the net, practicing his wild smash. never heard net batting so loud

so you took your leave because you didn't want the 'tsar to destroy you rather than any sort of highflown asceticism?
― just got dope puppy (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Wednesday, 20 November 2013 23:54 (eleven years ago)
nah it really was asceticism. i was working on my bowling with my friend. that was my day's task. submitting to 'tsar would have been a luxurious & grotesque abasement

However, I must note that the KFC Million Dollar $ix, in which a home viewer is represented by a minor Australian celebrity with some connection to Network Ten on a platform in the crowd - and if said minor Australia celebrity with some connection to Network Ten catches a six from this platform, the home viewer wins a share of ~the million dollars~ - is only the best thing that's ever happened to Cricket in its long, long history.
