A testicle too far

Stuff I like

(Warning: cricket ahead.)

Warney seems to have finally yelled BLEAAAAAAAAAUUGGGGGGHHHHHH! one time too many, even after a six-wicket haul.

The umpires had already blown four major calls in Australia's favor. For a while, it looked like the Windies could get called out just for daring to stand near the wicket.

If the umps ever decide to leave cricket, they can always find work in Ohio and Florida.

UPDATE: The umpires blew yet another important call today, favoring Australia once again. Not surprisingly, the cricket lords also decided to let Warne off the hook for disputing the umpires' abilities. Even less surprisingly, the West Indies couldn't overcome the 5-wicket advantage the umps gave Oz in the last two days, an edge roughly comparable to giving one baseball team two extra innings to bat.
