Proves that 20/20 is the Protestantism of cricket.

That's giving it too much legitimacy. I'd call it the Mormonism of cricket.

New Australian batsman David Warner has been taken off the “bigger than Jesus” list, following a second-up failure in last night’s Twenty20 international against South Africa at the Gabba.

Warner, who was promoted to demi-god status following his 89 runs off 43 balls at the SCG on Sunday, was brought back to earth when dismissed by Dale Steyn for a scratchy 7 off 12 in the Sunshine State capital.

Jesusrankings.com editor Peter Plumbly-Walker said Warner’s place in the hall of Jesus-esque champions would be reviewed following his out-of-sorts knock at the Gabba.

“David’s effort on Saturday was more that of a disciple rather than a front-running Jesus Christ number,” Mr Plumbly-Walker explained.

“If he really wants to be considered the second coming of Jesus by Chloe Saltau, Peter Roebuck and numerous other Australian scribes, he needs to put in consistent performances whilst thrilling the crowds – ala the Messiah’s water-to-wine escapade all those years ago.”

Mr Plumbly-Walker said The Beatles, who infamously intimated they were bigger than Jesus in the mid-1960s, were also temporarily off the list until at least one of John Lennon or George Harrison rose from the dead.

“Personally, my money is on Harrison, seeing as how he paid the big J so much respect with his cheery ditty “My Sweet Lord”, but punters have gone for John Lennon in recent years, with the re-release of old Beatles numbers,” he said.

Despite popular belief to the contrary, Mr Plumbly-Walker confirmed the B Sharps, made famous by the song “Baby On Board” on the timeless cartoon, The Simpsons, had never been on the list, currently headed by Barack Obama.

Nah he is just a traditionalist.

Why South Korea?

Hell, even that's giving it too much legitimacy, for mine. At least Mormonism is an actual religion.

Why not the Scientology of cricket? Or some other cult?

That would be baseball.

Mormonism and Scientology are the exact same thing, both are Satanic, both deny Jesus Christ.

You'd love Korean pop Craig! Have you seen video of those people on ice that scratch at their skin trying to get imaginary bugs out? It's worse than that!

On the other hand...I've informed you of the benefits! haha And you can get JJJ online (if that's what you want to listen to).

Deny him what?

Funny to see the over-reaction for Warner! And glad to see him flop in the subsequent games. Australia looks so desperate to unearth the next Gilly and Hayden rolled into one.

Deny the truth, that He is God and saviour.

Probably the same reason as Ulaan Baatar last time TBH - Craigos just loves to pick a country at random sometimes.

 

[Richard]

Me?

You've had to wait a month for a response to this (I hope you haven't disappeared again in that time), but... yeah, you.

 

[Prince EWS]

You know, it really is a shame you've had whole year\2-year periods of inactivity on this forum.

Oh by the way Richard, is it fair to say I'm permanent yet or do you still have fears of me leaving for an extended period?

















(Welcome back bud. )

 

[Richard]

You seem to have acquired a liking for typos in my month's absence BTW. And yes, I'd say your presence here is pretty perminant these days - at least, as perminant as anyone's ever is (obviously almost everyone comes and goes to some extent and unexpected departures are arrived at occasionally).
