Yup. A fair summing up. I was unable to chop a courgette. Not an euphemism.

Bert- what are your considered thoughts? For me it must be in the pantheon – certainly of the last 40/50 years and if someone like Boycott says it then i’m inclined to trust his judgement.

to be fair Lineker often tweets about cricket… I think he played growing up.

Mercifully for connoisseurs of pure cricket, moving pictures (at least the smart phone variety) had yet to be invented when I played most of my matches.

But this match report should answer most of your questions, Bert.

Please note the trade mark hoick to the leg side.

I did once win the Ashes single-handed (as you suspected) but modesty has, until now, prevented me from writing that one up. But given your polite enquiry, Bert, I think I might owe it to the King Cricket public to write that one up some time soon.

Are we excluding anything prior to World Series Cricket?

I’d like to review Deep Cower’s sanity, can we rock’n’roll that please?

Fingers crossed!

I am, Mike – Day 2 and Day 4 (if there is a Day 4, although the weather is likely to intervene enough to keep things alive that long even if the two teams’ batsmen aren’t able to do so).

It’s my first time at an Ashes test since the Saturday in 2005, when it rained almost all day.

Something amazing is guaranteed to happen on Day 3.
