Who is Graham Napier?

Alright, we all knew who he was anyway but I just needed to say it, that's all.

This is Graham Napier:

There are many who may believe Graham Napier became an overnight sensation when he achieved a world-record for sixes hit in a Twenty20 innings (16) on the evening of 24 June 2008. Yet such recognition has been a long time in the making for a cricketer who has always had the potential to thrill a crowd with either bat or ball.

Almost as bad as Jacques Kallis' site. At least he doesn't call himself unflappable.

In case you think Napier has become sidetracked by all that fame, think again:

He is now able to take the plaudits in his stride where many may have become sidetracked by such new-found fame. Since his 152 not out in the Twenty20 Cup against Sussex Sharks, life has been just that little bit different for the Colchester-born cricketer, such is the clamour for the attention of a much sought-after individual.

Fuck. What is this? What buffoon wrote this for him and what buffoon would let someone write this for him?

This is on his site, no joke.

Batting With Broken Fingers

Continuing with the story of our martyr, Alastair Cook batted in the second innings of the match against the West Indies for his county. And this time he fared well:

"It is still sore but it is definitely getting better. It was much better than yesterday. Perhaps I hit more balls out of the middle of the bat because it was the balls I didn't hit right on Saturday that caused quite a bit of pain. Maybe it is just getting used to batting again."

It's been three weeks since he fractured his finger, and he just wants to be able to play the first Test against the Windies in May.

I wouldn't play 3 weeks after breaking my finger but I guess my eyes aren't pretty enough.

Alastair Cook does a Graeme Smith

The man with the mascara batted for Essex against the West Indies yesterday with a broken finger. He played for 2 hours and made 46 runs in that time.

With a broken finger. Why did he bother?

Apparently he looked to be in pain at times. Well, you would be. BECAUSE YOU PLAYED WITH A BROKEN FINGER, FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

"Look at me, all self-sacrificial and Jesus-like."
