Cricket
September 8th, 2005Only ten minutes into the final Test match at the Oval, and Geoffrey Boycott has already told us that this is a really good pitch to bat on about four times too often. If he carries on like this, it’ll be grim.
I’m pleased to report that Andromache trotted in from the garden at exactly 10.30am, and sat on my lap to watch the first over being bowled by McGrath — though after two balls she wandered off again to do something else. I don’t think she has the patience yet to enjoy Test cricket.
Anderson or Collingwood?
September 7th, 2005I say Collingwood.
England have four more-than-decent bowlers in Hoggard, Harmison, Giles and Flintoff; with Collingwood and Vaughan (who should bowl more often, in my opinion), they will still have plenty of options; and it’s well worth having a bit more depth in the batting in the middle of the order. Jones on present form is irreplaceable, so why try?
