2009: The year in cricket
It’s got to be done. Brace yourself for some links. Maybe bookmark the page for later but never actually read it. That’s what we’d do.
January
- Peter Moores said Liberty X were derivative and Kevin Pietersen said that Moores was an inbred Maxonian obsessed with wheelie bin collections. England lost their captain and coach.
- Some crappy batsman called Matthew Hayden retired.
February
- England got the bat-on-ball to ball-on-stump ratio wrong and were bowled out for 51 by Jerome Taylor.
- Sir Allen Stanford was found to be the kind of guy who’d step over a heart attack victim in order to return their shopping trolley to get the quid from out of it. He was charged with fraud.
March
April
- Rob Key took a wicket and therefore became the world’s first 100 percent awesome individual.
May
- We published the second worst picture of all time.
- We published the worst picture of all time.
June
- England foolishly played Holland to open the Twenty20 World Cup.
- Shahid Afridi bizarrely renounced pointless risk-taking, but still won the Twenty20 World Cup for Pakistan.
July
- The Ashes began and we all developed heart defects almost immediately.
- Andrew Flintoff announced his retirement from Tests because of the whole otter-fridge thing.
- Mitchell Johnson was shit.
August
- We had a dream about a cricket match at Headingley.
- England won the Ashes.
- Australia lost the Ashes.
September
- Weirdly, nothing happened in September. There wasn’t a seven match one-day series or anything.
October
November
- Sachin Tendulkar rendered the result of a one-day match utterly meaningless with one of the greatest innings in defeat.
December
Anything else?
- We only published THE GREATEST POST OF ALL TIME.

Some wonderful memories there, especially the Pink Bobby ones. A very Happy New Year to you, KC xx
Yup, Happy New Year KC.
I might delve into some of those links sometime.
But not this year.
What a nice review! I am going to sit down with some snacks later and read all the links. Happy new year KC.
I, just because I was jobless, did read all the links and more in the last year itself
Just the right kind of stuff I needed to read about a year of cricket
