Bore Draw

The votes are in, one of the most eagerly anticipated polls of the last few weeks has finally reached a conclusion, 'Should Harbahjan have given Sreesanth a slap around the mush, Yes - No?' Well the waiting is over and without any further delays here is the result:

50% of you said it was the right thing to do

and quite staggeringly, with no whiff of a scandal,

50% of you said Harbahjan was a naughty little boy

What do you do with this earth shattering information? How will it be received throughout the cricketing fraternity? To find out I interviewed one of the 'major' players in world cricket today, Sir Allan Stanford, to discover out how he took the news.

Gareth - 'Sir Allan, how did you feel when you heard the news of Harbahjan giving his international team mate a slap around the face?'

Sir Allan - 'A what? Who are you son? You smell funny, you're not one of those pesky Ewing's are you! I told you already I ain't selling...'

G - 'No Sir Allan, I'm from 'The Back Foot Punch', remember? I'm meeting you to discuss cricket?'

SA - 'Cricket? What's that son? You sure are a strange man, why you don't even have a moustache'

G - 'You know, the sport you're throwing millions of pounds at? Disregarding tradition? Cheapening the game to see the death of it's most loved Test format?...oh and I could have one if I wanted, it's just they're a bit Magnum PI for me'

SA - 'Oh the sticky stick game! Oh I likes that, seeing those funny little men throwing that ball around, the others trying to hit it with those tiny wooden poles!. Yeah I'm gonna make that real big, as big as Texas! I ain't got time to sit around for 5 days
waiting for the game to end, no sir! So I am planning to make more changes'

G - 'Changes?'

SA - 'Yep, for a start I'm swapping those bats and balls for something a bit more manly, lookey here'

At this point Sir Allen showed me a picture of a man in a monster truck driving into a 30ft high '100%' real beef set of wickets, which were on fire.

G - 'Yes well, I guess I really had better be going, it was 'nice' to have met you, any last comment on the Harbahjan incident?'

SA - 'I ain't saying nothing without a lawyer present'

So not as informational as you might have thought, but that in reality was what was to be expected.

So in conclusion, half thought it OK, half didn't, Sir Allan is a complete tool and I need to be basing poll results on more than just 4 votes.
