I see Bristol is the same desperately desolate ground that it always was. Think I'll watch the krautesses now. I was there last night and apart from the bogs, it was brilliant. Great atmosphere.

But the peasants had to share some green Brandon Tool Hire portapotties. It somehow curtailed my craving for their warm lager. Saved me a few shillings.

Someone said it was like choosing between 10 portaloos at Glastonbury.

I have watched the bowling coach perform at very close quarters. How on earth he is still in post, God Only Knows. These modern bowlers are singularly incapable of staying fit. They get money for old rope season in, season out. How often has Tongue played in the last four years?
All this "white ball, red ball" differentiation really is total fecking crap. Good evening, fans.

If you like good bowlers, the ICC July 1980 rankings...

Imran Khan and Kapil Dev do not belong in any kind of pantheon of bowlers.

The top bowler in 1980 proves the point. I T Botham played more cricket, bowled more overs than this lot these days, batted, drank beer and smoked cigars. 2022 Fast bowlers don't drink, don't smoke, go through endless fitness routines, do nothing with the ball and miss half the season. Why do they need coaches at all?

A lot of fast bowlers' long term injuries are caused by an adaptation to their delivery action to produce slower balls in the nonsense cricket. When is somebody somewhere going to work out that bowling a slow delivery is the business of a slow bowler?

Bairstow needs a rest because he has played 9 white ball games since July 12th. That's a lot of hours of cricket. On same note, Klopps players are already tired and season not yet started, and I know it's the same every year. These boys are clearly not paid sufficiently well, or maybe their tired feeling comes from their hectic lifestyles trying to spend their money.

Maybe they should replace all current formats and replace it with French cricket.

Bairstow is doing well precisely because he is playing all the time.
Dudley Tyler used to play 60 games a season. Didn't make him any slower.

The sporting benefit of being "ready rubbed" are quite obvious.

Blimey. 5live is tonight providing live coverage of a cricket match where the paticipants are male.
What on Earth is going on here? I was enjoying listening to that thing about lady DJs; you know them DJs, they play other folk's records for a living.

WCCC 37-5 in reply. Impressive. Bet they can't wait for the winter holidays.

The Hundred on BBC 2. Utter dross.
Woakes is still military medium even as an analyst.
