blogging it real

Good to see Craig McMillan making his usual contribution to the fortunes of the New Zealand cricket team ... absolutely nothing. If you could bet on which player was going to do the least for his team, McMillan would always be a safe investment. I'd have Yamis in the team ahead of McMillan ... at least he doesn't try and slog-sweep the second ball he faces. Heck, even Chris Martin scored 7 runs ... a new high score for someone who previously had 15 runs in 15 innings.

In non-cricket related news, there's an interesting report on Michael Moore in the Observer. I'm not sure why there is such a widespread assumption among journalists that just because Moore is left-wing, he has to be a "nice guy". Fuck, who cares? Judge him by the quality of his work ... apparently Faranheit 9/11 is bloody good, with more attention to detail and careful editing than Bowling for Columbine.

Also, there's a good report on the Simpsons in the NY Times (regn reqd): season finale tonight, so no calling me between 8.00 and 8.30. The phone will be unplugged.
