Why don’t you interview someone who is running for the 2013/14 party, Sam, thus weakening their chances of electoral success?

Your choice of 2013 ridiculousness has a connected Ged & Daisy story which is not yet writ on Ogblog. But it will be in the fulness of time…

…as will the Ridiculous Ashes 2013, I hope.

Personally I think the voting system has been gamed. If there had been two “down under” choices as well as two “right way up” choices, then I’m pretty sure one of the “right way up” choices would have won.

Democracy, as you day, Sam. Gerrymandered even in the matter of Ridiculous Twitter polls. Ricidculous.

It’s democracy in action.

My vote goes to 2013, for this moment alone: https://youtu.be/Kk2cH1ApyIY

Yeah, but almost two-thirds of them won’t listen because the ‘wrong’ series won.

I have three observations:
(1) Great sponsor name, it conjures up the idea of a competition between nations to have the safest roads, rather than a T20 ‘legends’ tournament
(2) Some of England’s legends seem, er, less legendary than the Tendulkar/Sehwag/Yuvraj level that India have managed. KP, Hoggard, Panesar – fair enough, but are Gavin Hamilton, Darren Maddy and Phil Mustard the sort of international superstars that justify the term ‘legend’?
(3) I can’t link directly to it at the moment, but on the England team page, the picture of Chris Tremlett seems to imply his forearms are as wide as his head. Tiny head, massive biceps, or Photoshop gone wrong?

Frankly she has some of her own memorable ridiculousness for both her 2009 and 2013 appearances (never mind the cricketers).

I know you aren’t doing “pre Bowden/Liebke” Ashes series, but the most ridiculous day of Ashes I ever witnessed personally must have been my first one. Willis’s Day in 1977. Not only did he top score with the bat that (almost rain-ruined) day, but my friend Graham and I spotted him (and even spoke with him) on the London Underground:

It occurs to me that you might have a rain-ruined match in one of your ridiculous Ashes series, in which you do what the commentators do in the real Ashes – show/discuss some ridiculousness from a bygone era to use up some broadcasting time.

Yeah, we’re definitely looking forward to that one. We just thought it was maybe a little too recent for Series 2.

I’d like to put forward 2015 for the future though. Every match was absolutely mad and seemed to bear no obvious connection to the others. 8-15? Australia being 337-1 at Lord’s? Steven Finn returning and taking 6? England being presented with the urn about 15 minutes after losing by an innings at the Oval? Two consecutive three-day Tests?
