It wasn’t just a 6 to win that ODI — it was a 4 then a 6 from the last two balls of the match. I didn’t like it, but I’ll forgive him.

Happy 2009, all of you. Even the harridans.

‘King Cricket’ was formerly an ongoing title, similar to a boxing title. However, it has been unofficially retired from use as everyone started calling us King Cricket and we lost the will to explain the (unnecessarily complicated) situation.

If they bat together more often they might just bring down the commercial monster.

We shall never forget your astonishing contribution to Middlesex’s success in the Twenty20 cup semi-final match against Durham:

A finer demonstration of the fine art of test-match-style batting we have yet to see.

Shiv, we thank you and applaud you.
