Ben Barren - Confessions of a Mad Man » Time 4_the Gold Dancing Shoes Mr Cricket 2.0

I havent watched one minute of physical TV incl cricket this summer, but I have kept up with nearly every game via the no dropouts or issues overall excellent minus questionable but not as unfunny as Ch9′ ABC Sports Coverage - Cricket audiostream. The ball I turned on Ricky Ponting ran himself out. 3/27 after 11 overs - in a 50 over match, the final one. Really the Aussies left it too late to rebuild (they should look to how AFL does it) and now the Punters are paying. I’m really hoping David Hussey grabs his Gold Puma Undefeated Shoes, hear that Mr Cricket 2.0, undefeated !? (who has made a mountain of runs in all other forms of the game incl prob best 20/20 batter, well along with Hodge) grabs his spot today (his bro and rest of Aussies other than Michael Clarke havent performed all summer), and that he doesn’t go out before I press publish on this post. Update : Clarke went out when I pressed publish but not Hussey 2.0, yet. Well 10 minutes later he is out 5/54, Tait will have to get a hattrick.. Aussies to lose 4 one dayers in a row…

Just a little tidbit ere’, on another excellent internet biz; Slideshare, who keep rolling out neat features, this time YouTube clips can be embedded in presos, which can be embeded on blogs, that is damn neat. See some examples and an explanation via Slideshare blog : “Its been a couple of weeks since we rolled out the YouTube embed ability. The response from the community has been very positive. Here are some interesting examples that we thought of showcasing: AgfaPhoto Camera’s demolition slide deck: This slide deck narrates the story of Agfa Photos, the camera manufacturing company that folded up due to competition from Japanese camera manufacturers. Their office building was demolished due to bankruptcy… the deck has a embedded video (slide 2) that together with the pictures and the text makes it a compelling story telling package.”
