Mr Ladd, your piece about the ‘thumping bollocks’ atmosphere has, as I believe the modern yoof parlance to be, ‘nailed it’.

It’s like someone else put my thoughts down on ‘paper’.

And with a delivery that could only be described as absolute filth. A truly magical moment.

@Mike, US cable/internet providers are almost as bad as Murdoch.

*Does*. Mind you …

Seeth on Daisy!

I love rock and roll.
I love cricket.
I love them separately.
For people who like them together, there are earbuds and playlists – they don’t even have to restrict themselves to over and wicket breaks.
I’m not even sure about all the rock and rolling that goes on with DRS.

Dose anyone, of any generation (target or not) actually decide to go to the cricket because of the noise between overs? As in, “Hell yeah, even if the cricket’s shit the one-minute bursts of classic rock will be great?”

Hangover on arrival is somewhat self-inflicted woe though, eh Mike?

Do we get an explanation by way of a match report? The least you could do for us in the circumstances, methinks.

Our (my and Daisy’s) dislike of all that stuff was the central conceit of our match report from Lord’s last week:

Daisy is still seething about it.

‘Mathews to Pooran, OUT, Mathews strikes first ball! And what a fistpump to celebrate, very nearly knocked his team-mate out with that fist.’

Oh and Sky is now owned by Comcast, and far as I know will no longer have Murdoch backing or influence. Rejoice!
