World Cup off - Replaced by Lottery - Buchanan

In a piece for the Sun Herald (an Antipodean title) Sun Tzu Buchanan is at it again. The strategic genius from Oz tells us that leaking documents is a good ploy and that "...when it gets to the semi-finals (the Cricket World Cup) is a lottery." Right. So if Kenya get through to the semis again, and they're facing Australia he really thinks Australia have a one in two chance of winning? That you might as well get a velvet bag, drop two balls with Aus and Ken on them into the sack and persuade some nubile nymphette to draw out the winner? Hey why not? It would save us from having to watch a tedious one-sided bore fest. Wickman says why not host the final at the Wick? Wickman would happily scribble the names of the two protagonists on to a couple of pool balls and Nicholls could draw the winner out of an old jockie before organising a giant party. It would eradicate any worries about rain. Wickman does worry that there might not be enough room for the World's media... here's a particularly innovative lottery where they use dogs to pick out the numbers.

Buchanan is bonkers. Warney was right when he said the coach was only useful for taking the team to and from the ground. I can't wait till he retires, and we don't have to hear his pretentious philosophical crap ever again.
