It's wonderful stuff, Alun.
This is the type of thing that gets kids interested in the game at an early age - not the dour, depressing stuff Boycott and co were shovelling up in my early years which put me off the game for all of my childhood well into my adulthood. Just such a shame it's not on terrestrial tv. On Radio5 at the start of their Ashes special tonight they said the cricket pages on the BBC this afternoon were the most 'hit' EVER on all BBC pages ever written. There's still a massive love for the game - which is only viewed live now by a few. Pity the young kids from households who can't afford the Murdoch subscriptions who may well have been the new British sporting heroes to come after picking up on their love of the game (plus every other sport) at a tender age, who will probably never even take up any sport now that its been almost wiped off the curriculum of ordinary schools (with no playing fields) and terrestrial tv. |

No better sight in sport than a bowler delivering to 4/5 slip fielders imho, makes me gush.

Hope Rob is having a great time over at Trent Bridge today - which I'm sure he is and hopefully in a well-oiled fashion by now!
I had to go out just before the end of the excellent lunchtime interview with Mike Brearley on TMS. Aggers asked him a few pertinent questions about the way he handled certain players in particular - and Brearley was very forthcoming in his appraisal. As you can imagine, Aggers particularly wanted to know about his dealings with Boycott - and once again, Mike was candid in a supremely measured and humorous way about his recollections. What I'd like to know if anyone has been listening to TMS since lunch is: Has Aggers mentioned to Boycott Brearley's recollections, and if he has, what has Boycott said? |

I was also out at that time. There has been no mention of it since I got back at 2.30,Tommy.

Ah, cheers Anubis.
Perhaps the after-Brearley-question showdown between Aggers and Boycott is still to come then - which should be great fun! |

The bowling is nearing unplayable at the moment.
