In reply to Colpetty. Not all Australians are children.

7/64 and 28 wickets in the series… The homicidal Capybara has struck again. Will no one think of the children!

In reply to Ged. 'THoC' is incidentally quite close to the noise of a cork hitting something it's not meant to hit.

In reply to Ged. The Home of Cricket or The Home of Corks? I need to know what you meant. Perhaps amend that post-nominal addendum to Lords THoCoCIBoIP (Cricket, or Corks, Interchangeable Based on Individual Preference) So, young Hameed for England? Can he do any worse than other so-called specialist batsmen?

In reply to Balladeer. The Warne-Muralitharan trophy remains horrific.

In reply to Ged. By beating Middlesex at Lord's THoC, I presume. Which is foolish, because even Middlesex barely beat anyone at Lord's THoC.

In reply to BailOut. As indeed were Yorkshire.

In reply to BailOut. Inexplicable decision not even to try, in my view. Happy with it personally, unless it means the Yorkies have some extraordinarily cunning plan to overtake Middlesex, the natural heirs apparent, at the top of the tree.

A “good” county match, arguably.

But I’m taking it as further evidence that four day Tests would be a bit silly really.
