Links of note from the past 24 hours:
- Gatting’s MCC beat Cyprus…just - Mike’s actually getting <i>rounder</i>

There’s too much hype about Harmison. At test level, he’s a really average bowler.

This was actually said last month as part of a musing about limited overs cricket, but it’s worth a wider audience:

Quote of the week

It’s nice[1] when bloggers provide me with a Quote of the Week:
There is nothing like a Boxing Day spent dozing off your Christmas supper in front of a television showing live cricket. Its even better when the cricket involves two teams full of mouthy idiots who like nothing better than to wind each other up. Anybody who followed the dig-filled build-up to the second test in Australia would have loved watching the onfield action involving Andre Nel, Graeme Smith and Shane Warne.
Marvellous.
[1] Note to self: stop using that useless word nice.

This is in my quotes database, and pops up every now and then on the right-hand-side…and each time I see it it makes me laugh:
“It beats Monday morning at Chelmsford - all tea and Pimm’s. The amount of times Steve Waugh said to me: ‘Enjoy it Nasser, this is your last Test. We will never see you again.’”
Steve Waugh: Sledger par excellence!
