Eleanor Oldroyd Solves the Aussies Problems

Eleanor Oldroyd is the First Lady of Fighting Talk and on today’s show she gave her learned opinion on how to improve the dreadful performance of the Australian’s so-called cricket team.  She actually made two suggestions.

1. We persuade the ICC to let the Aussies have a third innings.
2. The English team play French cricket, which would mean they had to face the bowler directly.

The latter is a really serious suggestion, as it would probably mean that the likes of Strauss, Pietersen, Bell and Collingwood would rise to the challenge with superb stroke-play.

If you’ve never listened to Fighting Talk, it is one of the best programs on Radio 5 and is also available as a podcast.

Today’s was a particularly good edition, with the program finishing with Eleanor explaining how athletes fail drug tests for too much testosterone and/or Viagra.
