Craig Kieswetter - The Role Model
A very touching Craig Kieswetter memory:
When Somerset had lost the CB40 final in 2010, Kies was the only player who respectfully took his cap off before shaking hands with the presentation party.
Sigh. I wish he was that amazing at cricket.
(Sorry for the somewhat belated report, it took me nearly two years to recover from my prolonged kiesligious paralysis)

If Worms Had Knees...
... we would be down on those right now.
Today it's the umpteenth time that the lord and saviour of his respective teams, their foes and their followers; the purifier of our pitch black hearts and rotten souls; the high priest at the temple of the light; the genius allrounder and Super Saffa, Gareth Berg, makes me simultaneously cry, laugh like a manic goat, want to hurt myself in desperation, and wail about mankind's unworthiness. And it's proof that God made man in His own image ^^

On Ravichandran Ashwin - R.A.T.N.R.R.
R Ashwin, India's very own Jesus. Like a perpetuum mobile he kept going and going, fearlessly delivered the sermon to his followers and tormentors, whilst getting pierced with agonising questions by the raging mob of hacks and crucified by bloggers worldwide. There is no debating Ashwin's first degree martyrdom. He also has these eyes which you find in traditional Indian art and depiction of Hindu deities.
Two factors might be deemed problematic in determining Ashwin's heavensentness:
1) He is married. But in all honesty, how much do we know about the things, particularly the very likely things, that really went on between Jesus and Mary Magdalene? Exactly. Nothing.
2) Somebody needs to oil his feet. A special task force might have to be created for this job, especially after five days of Test cricket. By no means undoable, but it requires careful planning to keep the number of victims within an acceptable frame.
So... who knows... in some 150 years we might all be praying to Ravus Ashvus Tamil Nadus Rex Rotatorum.

To David Warner
Dave, Dave
You didst Australia save
Your batting style resembles cooking
With a microwave
Dave, Dave
Foolhardy or brave
The Indians ran and hid; you
Smote them with your stave
Dave, Dave
Please let me be your knave
Your valet, maid and chef; from the
Ladle to the grave
