Ashes That Matter
I almost forgot. In the hope that they will stop playing Rounders and Wrong Rugby, I should point out to any American readers that the only sporting event that matters has begun. All else is Vicodin.

The Aussies have taken an interesting approach this time by declining to select any bowlers. Still removed our top 3 by lunch though. Bastards.

Strange start: Katherine Jenkins over-dosing on mascara, 3 anthems, then a burst of 'I vow to thee, my country', Welsh people cheering England, a complete absence of 'I Hate People' tee-shirts, Nasser Hussain referring to Sir Ian as 'Beefy' (What happened to respect ?). What is going on ? Hold on a minute. Ahh, normality resumed: England three down at lunch.

Good Grief Malty, 20 overs and three wickets and the games over and the series no doubt by Friday lunchtime? Southerners!
So Bryan, next year when we are playing 4 day test matches under floodlights with yellow balls and clothes supplied by the homies from the crib, will that be wrong cricket?

Sedentary types would of course claim cricket as the pinnacle of human endeavor. We of the true faith of course say with full justification that the greatest sporting event ever began in Monaco last weekend.
The Tour of course needs real men, not lip salve wearing pooftahs.
May the pelathon be with you.

Sedentary? Cricket? you have never played the game then? its not all sitting in a deckchair sipping Pimms all day long with the odd cucumber sandwich.
As for le Tour, and cycling in general are the pinnacle of human fitness, but the drugs sure do help, they would have to turn me into Micheal Jackson to get me a third of the way around.

Cricket ? I love it. I'll never forget a moment from boyhood: running up to Jim Laker at Old Trafford, asking for his autograph as he left the field with Peter May, and being told to "bugger off!". Happy days.
