The Anonymous Widower

Waking up to Good News

There’s nothing that a good Pom likes more than to wake up to the news that the Australian cricket team is in trouble.

I turned television on just in time, to see the fifth Australian wicket go down for just 69 runs.

In some ways it all seems rather surreal with a troop of English fast bowlers bearing down on the batsmen.  Never in my lifetime have we had so many good ones. Why?  In the past we might have had a pair like Fred Trueman and Brian Statham, but usually it was a good one like John Snow or Bob Willis working with whatever could be found in County Cricket.

Why have things changed so much?

Perhaps other sports and business should find out and follow a similar path.

  1. Old saying, if Yorkshire needed a bowler, shout down any pit…(a coal mine) and one would appear…No pits = no bowlers…

    Would think dear Goughie (his Dad is a real charmer!!) and Vaughn were worthy..Bairstow, Carrick etc..Yes I played..and I wanted to play…

    Apparently the fielding has been good …a catch worthy of the Stretford end…not seen it yet..
