Not that I’m hoping Jimmy gets out quickly, but it’s been a while since someone carried their bat for England – Athers?

In reply to Sam.

You have questions, Sam. And I have answers. Here goes:

? No, it’s a mole. They are different.
? Between 3 and 5 on all afternoons.
? Usually yes. But don’t feel pressured.
? Mayonnaise.
? No, they don’t allow concubines.
? Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking.
? Yes, you should categorically deny that.
? Perhaps.

Turns out you can have a good year with only two innings that aren’t crap, as long as you score 200 in each of them.

I’m not much of a fielder, but I can paw at the ground in the vicinity of the ball with the best of ’em.
