Jesus played cricket

The focus of the world is on sport over the next fortnight, and the best international sport not being featured in Beijing would have to be cricket. I’m not a huge sports fan but I have always been a lover of cricket. Cricket is huge in Australia, and heroes like the great Don Bradman are honoured like saints… but perhaps cricket is even more saintly than we imagined…

According to an ancient Armenian manuscript, Jesus may have played a form of cricket as a child on the shores of the sea of Galilee. Check out this fascinating story from The Age. It seems Jesus had an unfair advantage in this form of beach cricket though, with his ability to walk on water! Cool.

Italy wins

Penalty shootout winners – Top stories – Breaking News 24/7 – NEWS.com.au

Follow my logic here :

- Italy wins the World Cup

- Italy knocks Australia out of the world cup due to a poor refereeing decision in a game where Australia were arguably the better team on the day

- therefore, if it wasn’t for that decision Australia might have won the world cup??

I know it’s a long stretch but I find it quite a consoling fantasy. Oh well, there’s always 2010. In the meantime, congratulations to Italy!
