Everything’s bazball. Nothing is bazball.

We have well and truly entered the zen territory here.

Crickott?

Mattbat?

Or in homage to Vittorio Pozzo, perhaps Il Mattodo/Il Mottodo?

Matthew Mott is far too good a name not to squeeze a ridiculous “branding” out of – though I have to admit I liked “mothball”.

Just loved getting home to find that scorecard, KC. I had seen the scorecard just once earlier – England diddly-squat-for-seven and thought “oh well”.

But now I realise I should have thought, “our girls can still win from there. Shuv it – England Women’s Under 19s are the best cricket team in the whole world”.

On the other matter, should we be calling the ODI equivalent of Bazball “Mothball”? Like you, I find these stupid terms repulsive. The raison d’etre of a mothball is to be repulsive.
