In reply to Balladeer. Nobody said that C word. The new additional C word could be 'capitulate'.

In reply to Mike. Ah yes. Called it yet again at the end-of-work cut-off... Proving quite the expert at this!

In reply to A P Webster. Almost time for those infinite transfers, and the customary 9-wicket drubbing off those Crafty Lankans on Wednesday!

There’s more Pakistannery going on today. Pakistan have, like American politics, got so good at parodying themselves that it makes any attempt at parody somewhat redundant.

Indeed, Bert’s held his end up. Australia’s batting started well but didn’t stay firm for the crucial later overs when an explosive finish was required – if only they had a Hardik.

In reply to Deep Cower. Well done both of you. Meanwhile against Pakistan, Dickwella is on the rise.

This is an excellent opportunity, and one that I shall not spurn.

What you seem to be saying is that it is better to have Wood than not to have Wood. England as a team had Wood, but Australia didn’t have Wood. Much as they tried, they struggled to get Wood throughout the match.

Having Wood enabled England to get penetration, much more so than if they didn’t have Wood. Faced with England’s Wood, Australia were shafted. Indeed, it must have been quite a sight for the Australian batsmen seeing Wood pounding in from the other end.

So, unable to have Wood, what did Australia give to this match? Well, with his fine top scoring innings, they gave Head. Er, Cummins, Johnson, Fanie de Villiers, etc.

In the County Championship meanwhile, Middlesex are getting royally fucked by Lancashire.

In reply to A P Webster.

I forgot to pick any players and got 0 while all this point-festing was going on, ooops.

Rashid Khan’s performance is no fluke, going by his ODI record to date (63 wickets in 28 matches at 14.74); he’s also the oldest eighteen-year-old ever:
