The Structure Is Set, Ya Never Change It With A Ballot Pull

Blogs are nothing if not derivative. Of other blogs, of the mainstream media, hell, sometimes of themselves. Cricket blogs are especially bad in this regard. (It's to be expected, really -- the ratio of existing blogs to original thoughts must be at least 10 : 1, and considering the amount of new blogs propping up every day, that number is bound to rise.) With that in mind, here are the results of Outside the Line's inaugural weekly poll!!

The question was simple: "Who keeps it the realest?" (And if you wanted to point out that, grammatically speaking, it should actually be "most real", then you're not keeping it real.) Here are the results:

                                                                                 

As you can see, the Heather Brooke of world cricket, Kumar Sangakkara, emerged victorious. It was neck and neck between him and Lance Klusener for most of the week, until Sanga played that glorious 94 against Mumbai and charged ahead. (Obviously, people are starting to forget some of Zulu's exploits.) It's interesting to note that VVS Laxman got no votes in the end... I guess that's what he gets for faking outrage at, for once, being made to play on a pitch with some juice in it.

On to this week's question, inspired by recent events: "Which cricket player would you most like to make cry?" The choices are on the right column.

I can't remember who i stole the idea off for my poll.

I just googled Heather Brooke at work.

Thank you for that.

Sorry, Miriam. That is kinda funny, though. I think there should a tacit understanding that anything we might link to from the site could theoretically NSFW. We're just dirty guys with dirty minds.

Next time, at least make it something really really good. If I'm going to go down, it's got to be worth it.

Wow, Miriam, you don't find Heather's skills impressive? My respects to you, then...
