Sunglasses of Justice

Woolmer death now ‘suspicious’
KINGSTON: Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer’s death at the World Cup is now being treated as “suspicious” by Jamaican police, the deputy commissioner Mark Shields told a news conference today…
There is only one person who can get to the bottom of this.

“We’re going to the third umpire…” *puts on sunglasses* “…me.”

  3. You gotta love to hate him.
    “The verdict is in, but the jury is out”
    Yoooooooooooow!
    Can’t see the program sometimes cause it’s covered in so much cheese.

  4. “They say cricket’s a funny game…” *puts on sunglasses* “…but I’m not laughing”

  6. Does anybody REALLY think Caruso would know ANYTHING about cricket?!??!
    No.
    But it’d be AWESOME to have him do the case.
    “Looks like it’s time to go see *puts on sunglasses* Ten…ten…..what’s his name again? LINE!……….yeah that’s right Tendulkar!”
    It doesn;t have the SMOOTHNESS one expects from Caruso.
    Or the Asshole properties either.

  9. “Looks like someone upped his stumps *puts on sunglasses* and retired him to the pavillion”
    With apologies to the great “Brazil”, which I am shamelessly plagiarising.
    With Ireland reputedly paying odds of 500/1 to win, I’m thinking a lot of people made a lot of money, and a lot of people lost a lot more money on it. More than enough money involved to make the whole result suspicious.
    The coach’s death is just sad.

  10. I’m pretty sure that one could test the theory that *anything* will sound cool, provided that immediately after it’s said there’s a quick cut to the yell from “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”

  11. The funny thing is that the US cricket authorities actually offered to host some of the World Cup in Florida in an attempt to raise cricket’s profile in the US.
    The ICC said “nah”, worried that, amongst other concerns, Muslim players might have received grief from Homeland Security about traveling for short periods of time for such a spurious “sport” — but if they *had* accepted, and Pakistan *had* lost to Ireland in Miami, then there’s every chance we’d be seeing Horatio Caine investigate a fictionalised version of Woolmer’s death in the next season “CSI: Miami” (not that we should discount the possibility, although they’ll probably change it to rugby union or something — “Looks like Mr. Blahblah got sent… to the sin bin.” “Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaow!”).
