rosie perez was right

In thinking about Victoria’s victory today I’m reminded of Rosie Perez in White men can’t jump, when she said in a thick latino accent,

“Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose”

It never made sense to me before, but now I get it, she was talking about the fact that when Victoria won, it really lost, because they failed to get Bryce McGain a haul of wickets.

As much as we all want Victoria to win the pura Sheffield cup Shield, what we really want is Victorians in the Australian side.

I am so sick and tired, (after 2 test matches) of watching smug NSWelshman, coy Westerners, slow Queenslanders or ex Tasmanians.

One Victorian, is it too much to ask for?

McGain is still the best spinner in the country, but a 5 for would have been nice. I think he was a bag of wickets away from really having a shot at playing. Now its either Hogg or Tait I fear.

But lets not dwell on Former Cricket With balls own Bryce McGain, let us get all gaga over Siddle, the man with a bowling average of 11 after 2 games.

This is a list of the bowlers he has taken more wickets than this year, all of which have played at least 4 games.

Stuart Clark, Jason Gillespie, Mitchell Johnson, Brad Hogg and Ben Hilfenhaus.

So if Bryce isn’t going to get the gong, let me flim flam over to Siddle, who is now Our Siddle, until he fails or he starts to annoy me for some petty reason.
