No real surprises in the opening few games of the 20/20 World Cup. Poms lost to the powerhouse Dutch. Rain made the Kiwis-Scots game a joke. Yuvraj Singh went batshit.
And, of course, Australia lost another 20/20 match.
All to be expected, of course. But let's go into more depth on exactly how predictable the Aussies were:
Cryin' Shane Watson: Out for an absurd pissweak duck. Bowled two nufty overs.
David 'Merry Melodies' Warner: Made some runs! Predictably unpredictable.
Little Captain Punter: Out even quicker than Cryin' Shane Watson.
Michael 'Pupshark' Clarke: Played himself in, consolidating for 13 balls before being dismissed for two. Bowled one rubbish over of dross.
Brad 'Has-Been' Haddin: Got out just when he was starting to look dangerous.
Young Master Cricket: Smashed some big sixes in the sixteen deliveries he batted. Got smashed for just as many in the six deliveries he bowled.
Mr Cricket: Not out. Dropped a skied catch.
Mitchell 'Johnson &' Johnson: Equally good at batting and bowling. And by 'good', I mean 'mediocre'.
Brett 'Scarecrow' Lee: Usual England form. Four overs. Fifty-six runs.
James 'Dashed' Hopes: Didn't bat. Sorta bowled.
Nathan 'Gabba' Bracken: Bowled two overs of disguised slower balls and changes of pace, most of which went to the boundary.
Andrew 'Roid' Symonds: Sitting at home with a sixpack, laughing his guts out.
What's your predictable reaction to the Australian's predictably lamentable standard of 20/20 play, Team Consistency Expert Bingle?
Predictably awesome.
