>The expected New Year post
>This is the time when we are all supposed to write a post telling you all about one of the following:
- New blogs that appeared in 2010
- my favourite blogs of 2010 OR
- my favourite blog posts of 2010
But that would imply I like one or two of you, and I don’t want to lure you all into a false sense of security like that.
So, instead, here is the Gits of 2010 honour roll – 5 players selected from a huge cast of potentials:
Stuart Broad for the “was he/wasn’t he?” ball tampering scandal and for running to Daddy to get him out of trouble.
Andrew Hilditch for … where to begin? Maybe we should think of the reasons he isn’t a git, because that would be quicker.
Nope, got nothing.
Sachin Tendulkar – just because it will piss people off to have him on this list.
Zulquy Haider – for trying to move to the UK when Australia is so much nicer.
AND …
Xavier Doherty – for not being My Lord.
Oh, come on! That was predictable, wasn’t it?
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
>thought it would be Beer at the end along with Xavier….Happy New Year….
>Where is IJAZ BUTT?Wish you a great 2011!
>Oh noes Sid, Nate should have featured in this post. The expected New year post would have been a dedication to him for enduring so much this entire year.Have a awesomefreakingreat 2011 and apart from the World Cup, hopefully the Aussies win a few more games.
Sridh, Beefy Butt stands grinning on my blog's front page.
>Sorry to disappoint, Sunny. If you're not happy with my New Year post, you can always not comment on it.
>Shridhar and Chris, have a great New Year.Shridhar, Ijaz was on a long list of people – which also included Ponting, Swann, and Mohammad Amir – who were dropped off in my quest to have only 5.
>Ijaz Butt will sue you for dropping him. It's a conspiracy to defame him and spoil his 2011…
>Sachin's watch does it for me. So doesn't go with the shirt!!!Surprised Swann isn't here. Annoying, egotistical, best spinner in the world, inventor of "The Sprinkler"
Happy New Years 
>Oh teh noes!! Hopefully your new year will be better than the incidents in the post! All the best Sid!
>Sorry for the lame joke. :/
>Craig, I couldn't resist a Sachin dig – I do think he is a great player really, I just get sick of people going unduly nuts ever time he hiccups or anything.I figured I had gone on and on about Swann over the last year and decided he deserved a break. Don't worry, I'll come to my senses soon.Shridhar – I'm prepared for Ijaz's backlash, I consulted my lawyer before writing this post. I have agreed, in writing, to include Butt in next year's New Year post on condition that he remains a git throughout 2011 to make the post easier to write.Sorted.Thanks, Wes. All the best to you and yours as well.
>Happy New Year:)
