Please note that Middlesex went on to win the match last time.

I was there to witness both humiliating starts; Tuesday’s at Trent Bridge being the first time I have ever witnessed a hat-trick live in a professional game.

You’ve yorked me, Bert. All that stuff about arses and inner circles has left me feeling a bit painful as I stagger back to the pavilion.

I invoke Betteridge.

Meanwhile at Ciderabad, this Somerset spin duo are rapidly diminishing my ability to spake… is a late tractor-run to the title on after all?

Who doesn’t say you don’t do requests?

Indeed EC, and welcome to the inner circle. Might I be permitted to say, in light of this new-found knowledge, and on behalf of everyone here – shove it up your arse.

Thanks, Bert. I take it all back. That’s absolutely priceless.

We were thinking just the other day that we should have a ‘frequently asked questions’ page and that this should feature.

A quick reminder of the source.
