  • "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."
    Steve Harmison feels strongly about suggestions that he came out of one-day retirement in order to play the Stanford Twenty20 for 20

    Doors to manual…oh shut up Kevin

    By Will 2 years ago, at the end of October Leave a comment on this post

    According to Liam Plunkett, the England team will be seated in alphabetical order on the plane to Australia on Friday. This throws up a delicious image of contrasting characters forced to sit next to eachother - despite their “we’re all best buddies in the team England bubble” rubbish. They can’t all get on, can they?

    Plunkett, then, is next to Kevin Pietersen and Monty Panesar; you couldn’t have three more contrasting cricketers. One is a fitness fanatic; one a fashion floozy and Monty’s in love with cricket of all things. As for the others…

    Collingwood
    Cook

    Strauss could have a bit of a task…

    Lord Brock will cope. Fred, Gilo, Harmy and Hoggy seems like a good group - that bunch should stop Harmison getting the heeby-jeebies on the flight and if he starrts well, he might do well … theoretically, at least. If not, they will already have formed a deep and meaningful relationship which they will enjoy as they all sit on the injury bench together :(

    Tough draw for Giles or Hoggard. Harmison weeping on your shoulder all the way to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border isn’t a positive start to your Ashes tour.

    Anderson and Bell will be too nervous to talk to each other, for fearing of opening up various cans of worms.
