And by a bloke called Murali, too. There's a double positive if ever there was one. Still, at least we were spared the prospect of another Hayden century. And by a bloke called Murali, too.

Perhaps you could find some way of using The Blue Box in a positive context, thereby allowing us to celebrate its return in a non-conflicted manner? Of course, then you wouldn't be able to write "pious turds" in it, and there's a phrase which doesn't get enough use these days if ever I read one. It’s a good point, and it’s well made.

For some reason our not-so-faithful blogging software arbritrarily shifted bits of the code around during The Blue Box's construction rendering our hero malformed. We wouldn't be totally crushed if we didn't have to go through that again. Stupid Wordpress. We’d also like to add that Wordpress dislikes The Blue Box.

Unfortunately. That, of course, should be “irritation WITH” Matthew Hayden rather than “irritation OF” Matthew Hayden.

Unfortunately.

I always feel it deserves capitalisation, personally.

I am assuming that this isn't just a lack of effort on your part. It's deliberate, isn't it, demonstrating that you don't want to try too hard in an article about "Haydos"? [nb I feel dirty just typing that nickname]. The text in the Blue Box is a bit small.

Normally we just plough on regardless though, you're right. We were too irritated by ‘Haydos’ and too aware that we were constantly repeating ourself to a groundswell of apathy and indifference.
