Posted by The latest video from the ECB in which a load of people (most of whom you don’t really recognise) mill around a gym is a real thrill-a-minute ride.
Sadly, the video is only 44 seconds long so it’s mostly just a bunch of people idly chatting to each other while a banal corporate rock instrumental soundtrack churns away dispiritingly.
There is one highlight though.
You might think that it’s James Anderson on a Swiss ball…
Guess again!
It’s a grim-faced Alastair Cook popping up unexpectedly in the foreground midway through the Jimmy-on-a-Swiss-ball shot.
You’ll have to watch the video for the full effect.
Cook also delivers a slightly comical guilty look immediately after realising what he’s done.
Don’t look guilty, Alastair. You’re not the one filming a bunch of blokes in the gym and publishing the footage on the internet.
Strangely, my latest Ogblog posting mostly comprises exercise stills and one short piece of footage:

Must be the fashion.
Not sure I want to see the England bowling line-up on a pole-dancing routine.
Or do I?
Balls out for Overton
Okay, one last time. Cameron Bancroft’s head is large, but Cook’s head is nearby.
Large; nearby.
Aaaah that dreams/reality reference’s back! As in, Careful now, Balladeer, it’s an antique!
A right cook and ball story, that was.
No, Anderson.
Oh, wait, that ball.
