Poll - Podcast Suggestions

I have a podcast. Maybe you've heard of it. Maybe you haven't.

Some people listen to it. I know this because Podbean tells me. I like doing the podcast. Maybe you like listening to it. Maybe you don't.

If so, why. If not, why. If you let me know, I can change for the better. If you don't tell me, I'll keep bumbling along doing what I please. Is that what you want? Vote on the sidebar, let me know, and I'll be happy.


Thanks!

Last Week's Poll - Which cricketer has the fattest arse?

For no real reason, last week I asked which cricketer had the largest arse. I picked a shortlist (or widelist) of six, with five current players, and perhaps harshly, former player Mike Gatting. As a now retired player, it's only right that Gatt won (or lost, depending on how you look at it) with a landslide 62%, mainly because he spends much of his time sitting on his wide posterior.

Last Week's Poll - Which cricketer would make the best footballer?

As it's the World Cup, I asked which cricketer would make the best footballer. After thinking long and hard, I came up with a list of cricketers who have the required qualities for a footballer; athleticsm, gracefulness and steely determination. Unsurprisingly, you judged AB de Villiers to be the one of the list who has those qualities, with 42% of you picking him to be your chosen cricketer-as-footballer. However, after watching Middlesex yesterday, I can tell you that you're all wrong, as Steve Finn has the skills to pay the bills. And that Pedro Collins is cack in goal.

Last Week's Poll - Who should be England's bowlers for the First Ashes Test?

Last week I asked you to play the role of Geoff Miller, Ashley Giles and the other one (Whitaker???) and pick your bowlers for the first Ashes test in Brisbane. Unsurprisingly, 100% of you wanted Anderson, Broad and Swann as your bowlers. However, there was some debate as to who should be the fourth bowler (assuming England will play four bowlers). The man in possession, Steven Finn, has 75% of your support, with injury hit Graham Onions still having the support of 37% of you. There was a ripple of support for Sidebottom, Shahzad and Bresnan, with the three men of Yorkshire picking up 12% each. Harmison, Woakes (left field...), Tredwell, Panesar and Rashid were the ignored men who didn't get any votes. Interesting stuff. I'll ask again a few times to see how the opinions of the cricketing public change over the forthcoming months.

This week, as the football World Cup has started, I ask which cricketer would make the best footballer. Why not, it's fairly topical.

Last Week's Poll - Who's going to be the worst overseas player in the T20

With the start of the new FPt20 came a wave of overseas stars, and a wave of potential overseas flops. None more so than my new mate Gilly, who scored a meagre 2 as Middlesex folded to a tame defeat at the hands of the Sussex sharks. However, I still have confidence in Gilly, as do you, judging by the results of the poll. 66% of you think part-time member of parliament, full-time OAP Sanath Jayasuriya will be the biggest flop, mainly as his 76 year old body may find it difficult to run about in the physically demanding T20. Fair enough.

A brave new direction for polls this week, where you can become Geoff Miller or Ashley Giles by selecting your English bowlers for the first Ashes test in November. How exciting!

Last Week's Poll - How can England get to the West Indies?

A poll to forget this week, there was very little that was good about it. To be honest, it was a half-arsed effort, with half-arsed answers, and it got a half-arsed response. I took all of about 20 seconds to think about the topic for this week's poll, and as I only had the interest to think of four answers, it was clearly a poll with very little effort. And probably due to this, you lot voted with your feet; by which I mean you did not vote at all. It was a three-way tie at the top, so my casting vote goes to Flintoff's pedalo as a means of transport for the English team out to West Indies. Even though Flintoff isn't in the squad. And that they actually flew by 747, as the volcano stopped erupting enough for them to fly. I told you there wasn't much thought put into it.

Next week's poll is an election special (topical or what?), so exercise your democratic right and vote!

Last Week's Poll - Who do you want to go to an old-skool disco with?

In honour of the Kingfisher IPL advert, this week's poll was asking which cricketer you would like to go to an old-skool disco with. While there was a late surge for Dan Vettori and David Warner, the person who you elected to go out with was Graeme Swann, with a massive 57% of the vote. Just make sure you have a designated driver with you.

As it is the first county game at Lord's tomorrow (which I will be going to), I am asking what is the most innappropriate thing for me to do at the home of cricket. The poll, as always, is on the sidebar.

Last Week's Poll - Who's going to win what this County Season?

With an unprecedented 3 polls, this week has made Short Third Man history as having the most amount of votes cast. Well done everyone! With 33% of the vote for who will be the best county player, my man Joe Denly looks set to draw strength from his England rejection for the hedgehog eaters. Half of those polled surprisingly think that Somersaaaat will Div One, and Sussex also got 50% of votes for who will win Div Two.

This week, in honour of that Kingfisher karaoke advert, the poll is which cricketer would you like to go to an old school disco with. Poll can be found on the sidebar as usual.

Right, am off to try and find somewhere to listen to the Worcestershire - Middlesex game!

Last Week's Poll - Who do you want to see on Twitter?

Last week's poll was which cricket personality you wanted to see on Twitter - and for the first time in the (albeit short) history of The Short Third Man there was a tie! Both Dirk Nannes and Mike Hussey scored 33% of the vote. However, as I get the casting vote, Nannes is declared the winner.

This week is a poll-fest - with three up and running! To celebrate the start of the county season, I have polls for who will win both Divisions 1 and 2, as well as which player will rip it up this year. So get voting!
