This was a very disappointing test match for England in terms of ridiculous Ashes performance. I don’t think England’s ridiculousness at Lord’s had been that poor in my lifetime (or even living memory) until that match.
It was also a poor performance on my own part – Daisy and I only showed our faces at Lord’s on the fifth day of that match., as reported on this very site: https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/england-v-australia-day-five-at-lord%E2%80%99s-match-report/2009/08/06/
At least Daisy and I got to see Freddie’s ridiculous posturing on Day Five, although frankly I think it is understandable for a player to become emotional at the thought of being listed on both the batting and bowling Lord’s honours boards. At the time he became only the fourth England player (seventh player in total) to achieve that double-honour – the first since Botham.
Daisy’s comment at the time on the Freddie posturing, “it obviously IS time for him to go now”.
Better than the time he got the ball lodged betwixt his thighs?

Better than that – but he does have a genre, doesn’t he?
I was trying to recall what I did instead of going to the test match on the day Brad Haddin jigged his jig, as it were. My diary helped me to find that I did this:

What the hell was I thinking? Ah, but I was so much older then; I’m younger than that now.
