So it goes.

But away from the fluorescent-illuminated stationary trolleys of dawdling fat people pawing at the fizzy pop, lists are fine. As such, here are our six reasons why England will win the World T20.

  9. The day you returned from your big shop without the chicken, did you demolish a Nandos instead, KC? Or what?

    Please stop sparing us these vital details.

    1. No, we made a second shop and then made something that was actually quite akin to a Nandos. We then obliterated it – by which we mean that we ate it.
