Crisis. Yes, this word is being bandied about this morning… RadioLIVE has reported this morning the Jigga Ryder has tested positive for a banned stimulant. Apparently, in an effort to lose weight, he took a supplement that was mis-labelled and will be banned for 6 months. For all you J-Ry haters out there, he apparently did all he could to check that there was nothing in the supplement that was banned. Come on team – let’s give the guy a break. He’s a freak. He can hit the ball further than anyone we know, he can hit it anywhere he wants to. He can bowl dirty seam-ups for which he has it on a string. And then there’s the fielding – the kid is agile. He’s our Jonty Rhodes…okay, maybe not quite but he’s unreal. Crisis for Otago Cricket who have signed him for the Summer. Crisis in the All Black camp. Our top 3 fly-halves are in doubt for this weekend. Ah, lets reminisce. Cue, 2011 World Cup and whoop dee doo…3 fly halves go down and in walks our knight in shining armour…the Beaver. Unfortunately, the Beaver is still at Snatch and can’t get down to Welly in time, so as remarked yesterday NZ’s very own Bubble Boy, C-Slade is in the game. Slade did show signs of coming into form for the Highlanders in the Super 15. How I have wrapped the word ‘form’ and ‘Highlanders’ in the same sentence is anyone’s guess. Rumours are that Colin is the only one able to whisper sweet nothing’s to Ma’a. After a quick mention of Jerry Collins abuse of a nurse last night, word is now that he was arrested in Courtenay Place. Everything happens in Courtenay Place – almost the Castle Street of Wellington. He was arrested for disorderly behaviour which he should get off but he should count himself lucky. Every man and their dog will turn in their grave to hear that he threw a half-eaten kebab on the ground. This type of behaviour should not go unpunished. Whether it was chicken or lamb, or the mixture of both, never shall a man throw a kebab, half eaten on the ground…ever. Pull yourself towards yourself Jerry. From the Sophie Pascoe is a legend desk, our athletes with disabilities have been ripping it up in the pool in Montreal with Mary Fisher, Cameron Leslie and some chick Sophie snapping up gold medals and breaking world records like it’s nobody’s business. We picked up 15 medals in all, 12 of them gold. Most importantly, we beat the US and Aussie in the medal table. Taking care of business, every day. Lastly, we are 2-1 up in the Louis Vuitton after Luna Rossa also lost their learners licence with a gear issue. Stat of the day: The tallest basketball players to ever play in the NBA were Manute Bol (from Sudan) and Gheorghe Muresan (from Romania). They were both 7 ft 7 in tall (231 cm). Apparently Manute Bol had a son called Bol Bol who was 6ft 5 in our equivalent of Form 1. He would have been nice in the line-out. P-J Cairns
