And coming down the far turn, cricket takes the lead

Ah, yes. In the ever-spiraling circle of competition cricket fan saw himself falling behind. Oh, sure, he made a half-hearted attempt to take the lead in the "Lame Act of Fandom" sweepstakes by offering to sell a kidney in order to be able to watch the games but soccerfan and Trekky Nation easily eclipsed that weak attempt. But never fear, cricketfan will not go gently into that long quiet night.

They are back in the news and better than ever. Seems Ireland is considered a "minnow". I will be the first to admit I am not up to date on cricket insults but it is apparent that is equal to being "pointless team included so the good teams would have a team to crush before they play their serious competition.

Well, Pakistan was set up to play the minnows...and something happened. Something bad. Something unbelievable, unconscionable, and unforgivable.

So Pakistani cricket fan decided to show A) how he felt about the team's performance and B) soccer fan ain't gotten nuthin on cricket fan.

So they did they only thing they could...they strangled the coach. (allegedly)
