Noticed that Broad bowled quicker after he got lifted for 4 down to third man. Suggests that he can do it if he wants to. Deserves a good kicking

Somebody on Cricinfo said today that the WI are the Leicestershire of Test teams. While I felt that this is rather harsh (that’s obviously Zimbabwe), Benn may just be the Leicestershire of Test spinners right now.

In reply to Alec Paton.

You don’t need a better names, because that one abbreviates to B-MIBS.

Where’s Brian?
Oh, he’s got B-MIBS.
Ooh, nasty. Is he on antibiotics or just the cream?

In reply to sam. This is true. I at least credit them with consistent inaccuracy though and he's down on everyone else, speed-wise.

In reply to sam. It must be acknowledged that Sky's speed guns are about as reliable as Afridi's batting so Broad could have been pushing 90 or dibbly-dobblying it at barely 75.

In reply to sam. Except that the first of those two wickets wasn't actually a wicket; just a nearly-wicket that we for some reason mentally logged as a wicket.

In reply to sam. Broad has somehow bounced out two men, despite neither delivery topping 80mph according to the Sky speed gun.

Oh, Broad just got a wicket, so you’re all wrong and stupid.
