I heard the news today, Oh boy…

Regarding controversy surrounding the ‘Blind Ashes’

Aparrently, during this ‘wonderful’ cricket tournament, blind folk play cricket using a ball with a bell in it.

It has kicked off big style because the Australian team have lost, and lodged a complaint, claiming that England’s spinbowler can actually ‘see’

…


Either way…I don’t have to say anything do I…?

Sometimes, the punchlines just write themselves.

Reminds me of the old joke
about the blind guys playing football with a bell on the ball, and ending up kicking the shit out of a Morris dancer.

In my experience
The only spectator sport that is funnier than blind cricket, is wheelchair rugby.

Ticket please...

Wrong
I disagree with you there personally i think wheelchair rugby rocks. It would have to be one of the most bonecrunching sports i have witnessed. The attitude seems to be "Fuck my spine is snapped anyway so this cant hurt me BANZAI" The sport was renamed from MURDERBALL to make it a little more pc , their should be a clue in that bit of info.

I'm hearing you. My friend gave me a copy of the doco 'murderball'.

I didnt watch it for ages because I thought it would be definitely depressing and probably uninteresting.

I was completely wrong on both counts.
