Well let’s just wait and see what headline awaits should he actually get picked.

Mo and Sralistair are rapidly attaining double-act status after their BT work over the winter.

He was excellent on TMS comms this week. Very entertaining passive-aggressive tension between Mo and Sir A Cook.

…as in, returning…

…he hasn’t got ankylosing spondylitis or anything like that.

I know you don’t do requests, KC, but Moeen Ali’s back.

They elected to field and succeeded in doing so all day.

If they enjoy bowling and fielding then jeez, they’re having a veritable feast!

A question for those more able than I, how it is possible to hold up a celestial sphere/kettlebell if it is ‘pretty gassy’. My mind is considering a celestial sphere, or mass, to be a number of solid objects that move within a casing of gas. Therefore, as gas is not a thing you are able to lift, hold or grasp, how is it possible for Zeus to do so, or has he got a flaw which allows him supernatural powers?

I think Zeus could at least reach down for the odd raincloud. I presume Hephaestos needs to reach down to deposit his thunderbolts that don’t go directly to his boss: he’s not chucking them down there willy-nilly is he?

…is he?

That’s so, so, so much better than ‘sixer’ or ‘maximum’.

As another ball flew over the ropes, Niall O’Brien (NOB to his friends) exclaimed ‘HALF A DOZEN!!’

Made me LOL out loud.
