Patrick has uncovered the reason behind England’s winter woes. We’ve been playing the Mr Men!:
Ricky Ponting could be Mr Strong; Shane Warne is Mr Impossible; Justin Langer really should be Mr Bump rather than Mr Respect; Brett Lee is Mr Bounce; Steve Waugh clearly used to be Mr Chatterbox; perhaps Michael Clarke is Mr Tickle-down-to-third-man-for-a-single.
Superb. As was the Mr Men series.
