  • "The fact is that once I was playing again I was automatically available for everything on the schedule and that meant Stanford. I make no apologies for that and, as for the suggestion that I should waive the fee or give it to charity, I don't see why I should be a special case."

    Glassy shot

    I avoided the inevitable “Cricket commentators have a SMASHING time” for this post. Richard Grant, batting for Glamorgan, smashed a six through the commentators window. Edward Bevan and Steve Watkin were at the mic: cue two very confused, and slightly puterbed Welshmen.

    Listen here.

    Reminds me of The 12th Man tapes where Tony Greig is commentating. “Aw look out, it’s coming up here . AND! Richie Benaud has gone down like a sack of shit!”

    I was listening to the game over the BBC Internet connection - and then had a phone call. My boys lost to Bochum on Sunday and the senior team travel to Amsterdam for a match next Saturday, so my captain needed to go through a few points. Nipped into the kitchen as I was also cooking a chicken at the time (cordless phone) and missed the whole thing!

    Great to hear it properly!
