clr james refers to bradmans autobiography – after scoring his 100th run to make up his 100th first class century bradman is finally able to play ‘in the way i would always have loved to do had circumstances permitted’ bradman goes on to score another 71 runs in 45 minutes. james is as anyone would be astounded by bradmans statement and wonders at the restrictive circumstances that have haunted bradmans batting for so long. cardus speaks of bradmans batting tieing together good taste (a moral sense) and freedom. warne(r) in different circumstances prior to ever scoring a single first class run smashes an innings roughly equivalent to 100 with such an immensity of freedom that even the amoral demands of 2020 fall shockingly short of what is given. 2020 opens souls. there is but a small sideways shuffling movement from faith to gambling from kierkegaard to runyon duminy stakes his life against 6 runs and paddles a full length tait missile for six just past his own heart. batsmen will die attempting to replicate this shot throats torn out or hearts hammered to a stop. duminy pulls it off. even after watching tait dismiss abdv with a delivery so savage abdv had no option but to flail his bat at the stumps in the hope he would hit them and be excused from the field. duminy harnessed taits physical power to his own end but the risk involved left the world gasping. 2020 moments are immense and often very final. there is no time to recover or for balances to be redressed. vengeance must be swift. there is no time for arduous pilgrimages of faith. this years ipl will be looked forward to with just as much expectation and excitement as this years ashes. cricket is entering a wonderful phase of development a new brilliant free easy terrifying form is presenting itself a bearded hayden
(the summary to the rsa v australia experiments is still on its way Äì while 2020 may be a breeze test cricket is not easily dealt with. im overjoyed at all of it)

smiths big clouds approach the wkt
im exhuasted dunno how to write about that at a loss it was tedious thrilling frustrating and brilliant all at once the weather was super exciting and smiths reentry was like clint eastwood setting off charges to create a dust cloud from out of which he dramatically emerges and exacts vengeance. histrionics. especially considering smiths vengeance was complete days ago. it was awesome though. ill get me some rest and write a full conclusion to the experiments over the next day or so.
pink experiment day 4
pontings come a long way with faith since perth v india last year when he had nothing but disdain for johnson and tait and would barely bowl them. he had no sense then of how hard johnson and tait were trying the limitlessness of their desire. the lack of result from this effort was not something ponting was used to he imagined they were not putting in or interested. over the last few weeks ponting learnt how effort can only so vaguely be statistically represented. he has also learnt how effort learns and through persistence comes to make a better showing of itself. faith in effort an allowance of time pontings declaration is fantastic its a game and pontings playing it to win despite the difficulties apparent in his attack. he sees now that his attack is robust and free from question he has faith no effort is lacking. bollinger will take 5.
should things fall against australia we will watch with interest how punters faith develops and beard grows

pinkwatching hayden and hussey struggle yesterday Äì to witness a creature actually truly struggle, to see every grimace of concentration and modulation of approach all the attempts to figure something out seeing them expending every effort and all energy on the struggle Äì i was watching movements entirely to do with faith.
the 30s that each made took every little piece of life from the batsmen and every piece of assistance they were able to harness from outside neither could have possibly scored another run
the knight of faith probably by mistake or by chance (without intention) makes himself higher than the outside surpassing the ethical the universal. faith begins where thinking leaves off – hayden and hussey found themselves firmly entrenched within consideration. what their team needs from them, what to do to deliver it, how to engage with the south africans on favourable terms what terms should they accept. hayden and hussey were full of consideration. hayden has in the past been a very considerate batsman but all that was under consideration then was the ball and its area. the ball is a figure that needs to be dwelt on far more extensively Äì warne now god he is the ball of the century. to consider only the ball is perhaps the key to faith to make a move into the infinite take yourself beyond a position of equality with the ball to a position of lording it over the ball the giant sorcerer emperor hayden once was
WARNE A HOAX – PRESS CONFERENCE (exclusive)
it was stueys idea it was easy we just suggested warne and everybody lapped it up
as young cricketers around the fringes of the nsw state squad macgill and mcgrath regularly occassioned upon one another. early in 1990 over a wine the two discussed their futures. mcgrath had forseen his own feats and knew he was the greatest fast bowler the world would ever see. mcgrath confided in macgill that he (macgill) was the greatest leg spinner the world would ever see but that this would never be recognised. both players liked these fortunes. mcgrath told stuey that in order for these foretellings to eventuate some great sacrifice would have to be made, a sacrifice so great it would give birth to a miraculous figure. the exact form this figure would take was mainly of macgills devising. the next 6 months was nothing but work so intense only great entities could have survived it (atlas). within the year a prodigious slightly overweight incredibly charming bogan leg spinner played his first test for australia. another year on and mcgrath made his debut and commenced a career beyond anything previously seen, a large element of this being the result of a partnership formed with the aforementioned legspinner. macgill would have to wait several years for his baggygreen but when he did he was the only canditate to take the spot. his career was always interrupted and darkened by warne and by comparison with warne. macgill became the polar opposite of warne – he was evil to warnes good. the dark horse fed off this shadow and was nothing without warne.
we suggested a being so perfect everybody wanted a piece of it. at times it was a little shocking just how greedy people would get for warne.
WARNE A HOAX – CRICKET AUSTRALIAS INITIAL STATEMENT
cricket australia have just confirmed scg macgill and glenn mcgrath are the men behind the invention of warne. in a statement released early this morning they have commended the pair on the brilliance, fulness, intricacy and the sustain with which the hoax was pulled off. though they have asked that legalities be dealt with through proper channels cricket australias advice is that nothing illegal has taken place. in reference to the spirit of cricket the ethics of the ruse were questioned by cricket australia. mcgrath and macgill are expected to make statements at a press conference this evening.
the enormity
to try think that warne never existed Äì none of his feats were actually performed by a person called warney, or even performed at all. none of the scandal none of the glam ever had a real entity behind it. worlds collapse. warne becomes the absurd upon which all faith is based. to know that he is nothing but a false collaborator (an imaginary friend) for and constructed by two great test players to be firm despite everything that warne will make a comeback for the ashes

pinkshort mid on short mid wkt mid on rsa look to capture hayden the beast tries with all his vast might to elude the hunters or blast his way free amla positioned at short mid on is an impenetrable knot in the net hayden has no respect and will enter into no negotiation with the field or the advisors thatre nothing but a reflection of him. he works hard but before long the beast is worn down and taken appropriated into the representation of hayden that is in production no form no shape loosely structured Äì defined Äì no longer free no longer free to believe
the enormity. given the days news it must be difficult for any cricketer to believe in anything anymore. we watch now as faith rebuilds itself with and around warne and the absurdity of his existence. in being revealed as never having had mortal presence warne takes his place as nothing other than god the nuns provide him with beer and drink to his glory
WARNE A HOAX – CONSPIRATORS REVEALED
readers the news story that is exploding all over the world is becoming too incredible. you might want to sit down. while this is still too hot to be officially confirmed its fairly certain the warne hoax was committed by 2 very well respected ex australian cricketers. stuart macgill and glenn mcgrath are thought to be under the protection of cricket australia it is hoped they will face a press conference later today
