Ramps’ eating habits mirror his batting strategy – he prefers not to stuff himself with the first meal offering of the day; lulling the other players into a false sense of security by letting them stuff their faces during the lunch break. This ensures that they all make a beeline for the toilets during tea leaving him to gorge upon his favourite fruitcake.

People think that his Bloodaxe nickname derives from his displeasure at a poor batting performance. This is entirely untrue – it was when budgetary constraints at Middx led to the tea ladies only providing Tesco Value Swiss Rolls.

D Charlton, I answered them yesterday (Wednesday) – go look!

Although there have been about 5 posts since then (we’re a little too prolific at the moment) so you’d be forgiven for missing them.

I have it on good authority that it was in fact Ramprakashs lunching ability that has kept him out of the England team.

Curry Cricketer, your comment got caught in a strange limbo and we can’t retrieve it. Sorry about that.

You’re not being punished. At least not by us. At least not deliberately.

Sorry again.

Glad I am not the only one… like mixing vegemite with marmite… talking of which – when are you going to answer our questions Miriam?

Oh my god the looks-like-chicken-but-is-tuna trauma, the pain’s just all come flooding back.

Like an unnattractive wingman, the cucumber sandwich exists to act as a foil to the other, better sandwiches. That’s the only reason the other sandwiches allow it plate room.

Anyone else get done by the looks-like-chicken-and-sweetcorn-but-is-actually-tuna trauma that i suffer about three times a season?

Maybe this is what Read’s missus did to Duncan Fletcher. I’d never forgive either of them.

Geraint Jones’ missus used to label the sarnies, apparently.

Matt, Matt, Matt! Such rage.
We all know you’re a man who likes his meat, but why so harsh on the cucumber butties? A bit of salad creme and they come out a treat. The cucumber it there as texture more than anything.
