in australias darkest cricketing hour bad play stops light

stupid hook shots – kim hughes n the hook shoot. hawke even weighed in.

wheres rudd when australian cricket needs him. this is not a comical statement. the history that is at stake is of national interest. we ricky ponting is no longer a representative of the nation hes (were) a force which must be supported by the power of something of the size of a nation. were (ricky pontings) a force which must no longer accept representation and come to take actual part in the play by applying our ricky pontings power to ricky pontings scheme.

no longer ricky ponting = we

now:

ricky ponting w we or ricky ponting v we

the main functions that apply within any equation can be respresented by the following symbols:

v

w

n

lvs

v represents two elements in combat. the two elements do not add to each other or subtract from each other they take each other on. bit by bit they infiltrate each other are repelled, assimilated and variously enter into relations of combination (addition, multiplication, combat, love). we ricky ponting combine w ricky ponting (we = ricky ponting) v (ricky ponting = us) (ourselves)

it looks like this (the equal sign is not usually required)

(we = ricky ponting) v (ricky ponting = us)

w represents two elements w each other. one is at the side of the other. it is more than a simple addition but is not yet love. in some cases it can be more powerful than love. renshaw w cavendish. ws a functional partnership. its less than a simple addition n involves no representation. nothins equated. we ricky pontingre at our ricky pontings side. it is proper to history that representations should become pure force in their own right and group together as real elements

it can look like this

[(we = ricky ponting) v (ricky ponting = us)] w [(we = ricky ponting) v (ricky ponting = us)]

and

[(we = ricky ponting) w (ricky ponting = us)] v [(we = ricky ponting) w (ricky ponting = us)]

n is a plus sign. an addition. one element is adding itself directly onto another. there is no combination – its just a value in proximity to another (or group of others) w the same ultimate purpose (in some way they make up a group). this is somewhat of a pure state for influence always comes to bear n elements within the group will develop attractions n enter in other states of combination (w, v, =, lvs).

lvs is a relationship of love. it presses universes to their very limits

curse collingwood n his determination his rallying of the tail – hows one to live without sleep. this winter cricket things not easy. when collingwood fell there wasnt all that long to go and one got the sense his incredible work wouldnt go unrewarded. of course panesar n anderson would hold on – panesars collingwoods batting buddy afterall.

throughout the match england had two figures. flintoff for brief moments earlier on in australias innings. collingwood. the figures were individual – they attracted vague satellites and the collingwood force was strongly residual in the final partnership of the match. it was less a partnership than a continuation of collingwood – an effective afterimage. a poltergeist. australia had glimmers of figures from time to time as they bowled but nothing really took over. warno was expected to mark the game but after some promising moments fell short. he tired too easily. too easily absorbed by the pitch. (the pitch endlessly talked up as a vicious competitor n treated warily by commentators all match also remained soft n kind – absorbed violence generally offered little venom.) in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 in 05 gillespie had his bowling mojo taken from him by an as yet unexplained force. yesterday johnson seemed to be battling the same alien. batting australia was massive – the ripples from these partnerships will carry them a long way through this series. to this point the australian batting line up is undoubtedly a people whereas the english is one man. the australian attack is a people but a small beaverish one. the english is barely one man. yet the test match is reduced to nothing. there is little more lovely than a non test – the test with no result. the series starts again at lords on thursday. from the non test to the lords test – the test that ceases to exist to the test that belongs to the lord. its difficult to know what kinds of distances seperate them vast differences or intricacies. sophia gardens is some way from lords

clues to the actual extent of this measurement may be found by counting the number of times we ricky ponting anxiously spit on our hands n rub them together

cricketers in winter

kps living dangerously as long as hes living kps a massive threat

before i ricky ponting was through typing the above line hilfenhaus smashed kps wkts it was all astonishing. the ball penetrates the batsmans heart. the wkts are guarded as the most valuable treasure or volatile secret of all time all space – kp lets it go in.

winter is a nontime. cricketers enter stasis. the dreams they havere vivid but rarely remembered beyond a few details. these details are useless to the cricketer – they have been held onto only because some familiar thing allows the detail to be in some way intelligible. the bulk of any dream is entirely fantastic and provides all manner of sensational experience and the keys to unthought problems. if a cricketer clarke for example was to awaken during winter and leave the casing the experience would surpass even this dream bulk. he would find winter people initially incomprehensible. within new relationships clarke would be an altogether different entity perhaps a number of them. it would not take long for friendship to develop.

on the radio some guy is talking about tripping on mushrooms for 4 hours he lay in a field havin all sorts of glorious revelations about his realm the elements that inhabitat it and the relations between them. in the glorious cardiff sun lolling about on the green. fielding in fawkner park claras learned much. warno getting back to his troubling best claims the wkt of strauss haddin rises into they sky in recognition.
