Oh No! Outerbridge is out of the World Cup!

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. There will be any number of Indian supporters who are extraordinarily upset with our old chum Mr Outerbridge this week. There he is, wearing the colours of his proud nation, given the responsibility of opening on an overcast day against the sensational Bangladeshis and is he out nicking a big swinging delivery to first slip? Is he castled by a perfect yorker? Is he run out, an unfortunate slip leaving him stranded half way down the wicket after a gritty 60 minute knock in adverse conditions? No, our pal shovels a Mortaza short one straight down the throat of long leg having faced four balls. Nice. Don't go to Mumbai under your given name Stevie. You might not make any friends... At least you didn't have to wait for the umpire to give it... Soooo... let's have a look at that World Cup in full. Sri Lanka game? No... not selected. 9 in his debut against India... hmmm. Then a Heston Blumenthal (answers on a postcard will win a laudatory post) against Bangladesh. 9 runs at 4.5. What a sensational world cup. Wickman is not quite sure what Karma is and he has trouble spelling Shadenfreude but both words seem oh so apposite.
