Black isn't a color
Black isn't a shade.
Black is a state of mind. It is a mood, a sense and feel. When life isn't fair. When the world is shit and even red heads laugh at you. This is when a dark mood becomes black.
The Balls are black. No, it isn't syphillis (that is clearing up nicely by the way). Jesse Ryder, the Balls' own Jesse Ryder, has just been caught on 91, cruelly robbing him of his first test century.
Now the balls doesn't like to exaggerate, but this is perhaps the greatest injustice to human kind since Joespeh Stalin thought that it might be dandy to send his farmers north.
The Balls has lived through the pain of McCullum getting 90s. It has been heartbroken by Fleming not converting 50s. It has even been unable to forget Martin Crowe getting run-out on 299 (why Martin, WHY!).
The Balls don't blame the Banglis (although Vettori getting 3-0 does make me smile).
The Balls don't even feel to sorry for Jesse (he'll be drunk by now).
It's the people of New Zealand and all lovers of fat crickets who we weep for. They have seen a hero denied.
Black is our soul...black our hearts. Jesse, bring back the light.

Jesse's done the right thing, no-one wants their maiden hundred against Bangers, cause it'll always have an asterisk after it.
Rather he's got the runs the team needed, and now he's biding his time to get his first Century against a real team on the 13th November, the mighty New South Wales Bluetongues.
It's kind of like White and Siddle. So, who's your first test wicket?
Ya in a few years time when the Bangers are no longer a cricketing nation these runs wont even count.
So stop bumming out and get on your feet, do balls have feet? or ...
I'm pretty sure Tendulkar's 900-odd runs (and 3 tons) against the Zims still count...but I do see both of your points. The world is a little brighter.
as do that mother chucker's 100+ wickets against Zim and Bangas.. but you always remember your first.
