I love the Wisden Cricketer magazine.  It has everything right about it to my way of seeing things.

And now there's an excellent on-line version as well which is supplemented by a must-have newsletter.  This week it has this as an observation about Shoaib Akhtar, the part-time bowler for Pakistan:

"He came, he saw that he had the wrong visa, he left.

However, eventually Shoaib Akhtar made it beyond the airport and he's even managed to bowl a few overs for Surrey between the rain showers.

The question is, what will his ratio of wickets to flights be at the end of the season. It's currently 3:1 in favour of flights."

Now that's my sense of humour!
