Fortune Favours the Brave

by 3 Comments

Perhaps this should have been pointed out to the England cricket team when they had the chance to make the West Indies follow on, in the 2nd test from Antigua. Hindsight is a 20:20 but enough commentators and also Fred Freeman pointed out the error at the time. Quiet simply, they would be one all now.

Whilst on the subject of being ‘wise after the event’ I would like to say that I didn’t really see a major problem with the ECB tying up with Allen Stanford. Probably because I felt we had to have an alternative to the Indian Premier League.

Congratulations therefore to at least two cricket pundits/journo’s. Firstly Mike Atherton who criticised the ECB for becoming ‘Allen Stanford’s WAG’ four months ago and also Michael Holding who pretty much said he couldn’t be trusted around the time that the contracts were being signed, whilst live on Sky.

I didn’t see that one coming.

Stop complaining about the snow.

The British complain when it doesn’t snow, then if it snows for more than a couple of days we start moaning about it snowing too much. It’s just weather, that shows up how bad we all are at driving.

As I type this we have just had another inch which probably means that the country will grind to a halt tomorrow.

England v Italy at Twickenham

by 2 Comments

Had a great day out in London. Managed to stay in control of my faculties and saw England win for a change. I have been going to Twickers now for about 20 years and have worked out what is important for a successful day. The secret is careful bladder management. You must take every opportunity to ‘water your horse’. You will have long periods of time on the tube and during the game when you can’t get to the loo, on a day when you may have to consume a gallon and a half of beer in the name of sport this can be quite uncomfortable.

On Saturday there were 82,000 people at Twickenham, but at no point were there more than 70,000 watching the game. At any point there were 10,000 plus in the bog.
