The New World Order

I found this comic quite amusing.

I almost posted the image here, but then I didn't know if that was copyright violation or if it would just be bad netiquette, even if I properly cited it. So I decided to just link.

By the way... this is the sixtieth post on the blog! :-D

A hundred points to anyone who can explain what ANY of this means (it's from an article on cricket):

Australia, chasing 282 to win, resumed the fourth day at Edgbaston 175 for eight, with Warne on 20, Brett Lee yet to face a ball and with apparently no chance of scoring the 107 runs needed for an unlikely win.

However, Warne and Lee, living dangerously but refusing to be cowed by some viciously fast bowling from Harmison and Flintoff, put on 45 off 56 balls.

When Warne trod on his wicket, 62 were still needed from the last-wicket pair but Lee and Kasprowicz somehow survived a barrage of short-pitched bowling to edge closer to the target, sparking pandamonium from a packed Edgbaton crowd.

With 15 still needed, Simon Jones dropped a Kasprowicz upper-cut off Flintoff at third man before Harmison sealed the nail-biting win in the 65th over.

Um, yeah. I'm lost. Just in case you want context (it doesn't help, in my opinion), it's here.
