England v West Indies, 2nd Test, Trent Bridge, 25-29 May, 2012

Will Fat Brezzie's 1-144 and handsome duck be good enough to keep him in the Engulund squad for T2?

will the Poms have another surprising albeit mightily heroic win?

Shannon Gabriel's hurt her back and is going home.

With Tino Best replacing him... oo er!

No, you've made that up.

Well shit a shit - Tino's back on our sunny (today) shores.

I had no idea he still played cricket at any recognised level.

Oh yeah... he's been pretty lively etc. so I hear. Not sure he'll get a game anyway, what with the brilliant Fidel Edwards, the skinny Ravi Rampaul and the world's best captaining bowler Darren Sammy to force his way through.

But how's his batting coming along?

Time at the crease until Swann or Jammy sledges him to "mind the windows"? Before he's faced a ball, I reckon.

England should get Matt Windows out on the pitch as a sub fielder. That'd f*ck with his mind. Maybe.

lol Tino Best

There's a whiff of "empty cupboard" about it, for sure.

Is there a more appropriately named player than Tino Best? Football can offer Rafael Scheidt.

Tino Best and M Sami back in test squads

Just peeked at the BBC headline and saw 'Best replaces injured Gabriel for Windies' and presumed it must be some young paceman. But Tino? Farquin'eck.

That's a bit like getting a 'Giles called up as cover for Swann' headline. Bit of a mindf*ck.

But Scheidt was shite. One's appropriate, the other's "ironically" named. If he'd been called Tino Worst...

Usain Bolt is an appropriate name, as was George Best (who was apparently quite good...) In the latter category I think it's hard to beat another Jamaican sprinter, Steve Slowly!
