This one made me chuckle ...

Rob Key's branding the ECB pitch panel a "Muppet Show".
In general, they are. Keysy, I'll chip in for that £1,250 fine.

So out of character for the Blob .... but, because his observation is bang on, he can count me in for a few shillings as well!

Worst-Directed Tantrum

Mark Ramprakash exploding at a Sky TV cameraman after being dismissed in a Twenty20 match against Hampshire. Ridiculously Ramprakash felt the cameraman was straying too close to Surrey's dug-out, and we saw the 'Blood-axe' in all its gory glory.

Was funny as hell, he had the arse for the rest of the game

'No spinners until Imran Tahir emerged.'

Has Mr James not noticed what a god-awful Summer it has been? Hardly ideal conditions for spin I would have thought.

Aye, the southern bias was palpable all through that article, although he did say congrats Durham.
