One of your best hover captions yet.
Pulled out all the stops.
I wish I could see hover captions on phones.
Cracker of a simile too:
“…swan into the semi-finals like a swan…”
Cracking.
Noun phrase, innit.
“Graeme Swann swans in to bowl like a swan” would have made my week, back then.
Thems was simpler times.
Get that uneaten Nuneaton buneaten.
Essex are top of the county championship! TGNW lives yet! TGNW! Cookie! Ravi! Tendo! Westley! Browne!!
Meanwhile at Taunton…
OH GOD NO!!! PLEASE!!! I can’t. It’s even more horrific than yesterday. I’d rather watch a Steve Smith Ashes double-century.
Oh and to Adam Lyth too! I feel for you. Had wanted your lot to win the Championship so badly last time out, for history and Tres’s sake. Not on this year.
I’m astonished Essex are in contention, let alone leading the pack. What year is this again?
has Goochie made a comeback?
I see a chap named Nick Gubbins in contention for one of the the England opening slots. Is he a proper opener? Or more of a bits and pieces player?
Proper opener. Will open for England – possibly even an FEC. Not ready yet.
I wasn’t ready for this. A quick Google on FEC threw up federal election commission, then forward error correction. A quick Google on FEC cricket threw up Michael Atherton. That didn’t help open up the subject. 5th link gave me future England captain. Omg.
We started with the subject of Gubbins.
Am I the only one who appreciated your fine pun on the name ‘Gubbins’?
@Mike, looks like it. 🙂
A fiver on forward error correction, Ged 😛
