In reply to King Cricket. No way will Cummins ever make it at ptero wrangling, he looks fearful (pteros will sense that immediately) and far more intent on protecting the Cummins' family jewels. Whereas Finch is obviously pteros-watching (a rookie mistake) and has left himself wide open in that area, so to speak.

In reply to Ged+Ladd. Actually we were completely unaffected by that. His words didn't touch us. We can easily assess pterodactyl wrangling ability with complete impartiality that is entirely uninfluenced by the verbal mauling handed out by that douchebag.

Damning Pat Cummins with faint praise there, KC.

Would you have been quite so harsh had you not yourself suffered a mullering at the hands of the “mere enthusiast” Cummins in The Ridiculous Ashes 2013 Episode One?

It is so good to see international cricket again in the land of the pterodactyls. It really was such a long interval – I hadn’t realised quite how long.

So, this England test squad.

Ben: 3
Ollie: 2
James/Jimmy/Jamie: 2

A bit of variety wouldn’t go a miss. A Darren, for example. A Darren Stevens, for example.

Thank you. That is the best article on cricket I have ever read.

The word on the Lahore streets is that the pteros (that’s how the locals call them) in the Waqar Hassan enclosure are generally better trained and more responsive to claw-calls. The ones in the Javed Miandad enclosure are absolutely horrible.
