spreading the love

My Dear Chairman,

Seems like the tour selectors have been taking some very powerful wild & crazy drugs in the West Midlands if the late mail is anything to go by; viz a viz a hastily cobbled together plan to drop the young MJ Hughes in favour of FIGJAM Watson!!!!
Now, granted, the Chairman and the Three Wise Men have always had this weird obsession with playing The Great Watto at every and any opportunity, but since when has he opened for anyone, anywhere??
Or maybe they’ll just shuffle the batting and pluck some other unsuspecting bat out of the order to open, drop MJ Clarke down to 4, and play Watto at 5 or 6.
Who knows what on earth they are thinking??
Fools!
One certain way to lose a test match is to tinker with the fundamental balance of a team for no reason at the last minute.
Also strong mail from the Vice-Captain that they will persist with Joke Johnson, against all the basic principles of a time-honoured thing known in racing circles as “form”.
And with Uncle Horrie also set be retained as a 4th and 5th day insurance policy, that means just about the only bowler in the touring party capable of striking fear into the hearts of the hapless Engerland batsmen, none other than No-E Clark, will once again be relegated to gin & tonic duties.
Fools!
Not that it all matters that much in the grand scheme of things with little likelihood of any play on Day One:

“Several members of Edgbaston's groundstaff will work on the water-logged outfield through the night, but have privately conceded there is little chance of play on Thursday. Steve Rouse, the head groundsman, appeared to be fighting a losing battle aboard one of the four super-soppers in operation on the playing surface on Wednesday as rain continued to threaten the third Ashes Test.”

In the meantime, great to see that Pup is spreading the love, and advertising his wares on LuvFree…
