Saw a programme about Brazilian football ledge Garrincha, and he had weird knees. Normal people have knees that either bend inwards or outwards. He had one of each.

His freaky balance made him a great, tricky, unpredictable dribbler. Also gave him arthritis of the knee.

Died of cirrhosis of the liver, 49.

Good times.

Re: Swanny - wouldn't it be worth drafting Rashid into the squad?

I mean, Tredwell and Yardy for five or six games? Goodbye quiet middle overs, hello happy Aussie batsmen filling their boots.

I had predicted 4-1 (weather affected). Bresnan, Shahzad, Tremlett/Woakes, Yardy, Tredwell - England aren't going to win a game.

Might as well get the new Steve Smith into the set-up and give him some experience. Nothing to lose - the series is over.

It looks like England have given up on Rashid for the time being, although I agree that he should have a run out in the current ODIs.

Hell, I'd even settle for Monty to get a game - has to be better than Tredwell shirley?

Obviously drank far more than he dribbled.
