In reply to Ged Ladd. Indeed Ged. I like to lay it on thick in these matters. I was just running past it this morning for the first time in months and thinking "Oh yeah, that swing. I wonder if he's ever going to get around to putting that picture up on the site." When will I learn to stop doubting him? Clearly, a low-key T20 series straight after the Mashes combined with a Washes Washout are the circumstances under which he gets around to these kinds of activities.

It’s a metaphor for the England cricket team’s swings of fortune.

There are several elements to the metaphor – the broken bat from a cheapy beach cricket set is presumably the element that symbolises the England & Wales Cricket Board Management.

Great spot, Gareth.
