And in the right light, from a certain angle, a boar.

The man’s clearly a bore, and a boor, and possibly a Boer as well.

And also a t***.

All other things aside, the writing is absolute dreck. It sounds like a policeman giving evidence at a trial:

======
He got up and walked outside in full view of all the Indian side and their officials.

“No, no, Tres, you’ve got to get back inside,” I said anxiously.

He was embarrassing himself by going outside.

…

I had decided he must go home even before he came off after being bowled by Brett Lee for eight and broke down again.

I had a migraine soon afterwards and had to lie down.
======

The similarities to a young child increase…

Nothing wrong with only having an arm ball. It hasn’t done Daniel Vettori’s career any harm, anyway.

I also love the bit from today’s paper..

I was right to drop Monty Panesar for the 1st Ashes test, because he had no Arm Ball….

WHAT!!! So play Ashley Giles, who ONLY has an arm ball?!

Although he was right, obviously. He always is. And that’s it. If you say he’s wrong, you’re wrong. He’s right, right!

Lucky he put that ball under McGraths foot though.

Fletcher’s taking us all down, even if he doesn’t know us.

Does this man ever want to work again? I realise that any newspaper which buys serialisation rights is only going to print the juciest bits, and somewhat out of context, but even still……

The bit about Trescothick was horrible and unnecessary, whilst today’s whining about selection comes across as just plain pathetic.

My understanding of the book in one line: “It wasn’t me, and he did it too.”

Plus, I feel a bit grubby after even going onto the Daily Mail website. And now I need a wire wool and dettol brain scrub having read the post below.

So overall: Duncan Fletcher’s book = Yeuch.

Damn wrong post.

Ah well the sentiments are the same…

Also, Duncan Fletcher=Arse.

What a stubborn old mule…

Can you imagine having a conversation over dinner with this man? No, I thought not. THe man is a bore, and may even be a boor (but hey, I’ve never actually met him),.

And thank you very much sire, for introducing that shocking image of beefy and dunc, getting on.

I imagine i’ll need counselling to rid myself of that foul image,

Bastard.

I love this…

Beefy’s brain has obviously been stewed in red wine for far too long.

The man is a cricketing legend, alas, as a commentator he’s a c*nt.
