the mistake everyone made with warne
was to see no distinction between him
and the regular human at times i imagine
the same mistake is made
in my regard before i realise its a daydream m

i sony murali v warne 4eva
murali is great, he is beyond reproach.
warne is great, he possibly isn’t beyond reproach, but any reproach is really only trifling.
warne repeats an eternal, distressingly universal reproach made against murali
murali hears of this
murali harshly reproaches warne
it is only ever warnes character that is reproached, never his action
though his sincerity in almost universally questioned, warne is wounded and sorry
murali accepts the apology
they laud each other
it is noticed that there are some discrepancies in warnes account
though these are blatant they are also very very trifling
it is seen fit to point them out to murali
muralis character has never been in question, only his action
the discrepancies are carefully pointed out to murali
he returns to his earlier stance on misery
muralis action, warnes character are powerful demonic forms, little understood and frightening
respectively they are each bowlers heroic trait from which all prowess springs – particular adaptations
that allow the organism to rise above all prior and contemporary forms
warne challenges muralis action
murali challenges warnes character
warne earnestly denies everything, murali forgets it ever happened
those that have it in for warne (or that have a stake in maintaining the myth of warne’s fallability)
find a problem with warnes sincerity and hand their facts over to murali
murali (impressionable/not impressed) feels that warne is miserable after all
warne will smooth things over
warne = smooth = sorry = misunderstood
murali = impressionable = sorry = misunderstood
warne + murali = 2 silver claws in vertical configuration

this is a poem i wrote with the help of a couple of cats i know – pecan and jack – ah man i defy you not to weep from word 1
warne
so bad i want you
warney when you go away
i lose all my reference points
even michael hussey has lost all
meaning and technique
is all im left with running thr
ough my routines with something far
more complex than dedication now now
youre gone warney howm i
sposed to live without you each thought
of you is a lightning strike
that turns another organ to dust fl
ashing eyes glinting gabana studs n teeth
make constellations in the imaginary
everything hitherto
reals nebulous
you riddle history with bullets
and leave
nothing but
the hope of a comeback
i
need to see your thick fingers
flickin the sky again
and again my love
will not wane
day 21 poem
gotta try n write a fucking poem
when i didnt even get to watch any of
the fucken cricket i had the radio streaming into the emerald hill library
where i was working figuring if warne made that century no one
ld complain about the noise
turned it off when he got out and
stayed glued to the wkt column ticking over
on the cricinfo ball x ball
it was shocking to watch
the end of the world as we know it day 3
4 yrs ago the scg scriptwriters penned a blockbuster as steve waugh pounded a boundary from the last ball of the day to make a century in what many thought may have been his final test match.
there were moments today when the collaboration between these same scg writers and the warne scriptwriters seemed like it may have gone just too far – they tantalised the world with the almost real possibility of that century. at least they firmly planted the idea in all the minds. i was thinking of what i would write if it happened. THEYVE GONE NUTS! that was basically all i could think of.
it would probably have been enough.

The hardest thing is not going to be able to walk out with Haydos again in a Test match – Justin Langer
“There are Warne and McGrath cakes in the press box,” reports Andrew, licking his lips. “And a Justin Langer profiterole mountain.” Bang goes another New Year’s resolution from our man on the spot – cricinfo ball by ball
didnt get to see any of the play today but i did get to see the cakes
