what a dull end to a test.

all the hundreds and the double hundred were impressive but not good to watch.

i’m very rarely bored by cricket.

thankfully TMS commentators actually brightened up the final day.

geoff boycott is noticeably more chirpy and less negative than he used to be.

The Barbados flatty gave me an opportunity to get lots of chores done this weekend. Cricket needs to be seriously tedious to make chores seem more appealing, but, by jingo, the curator at the Kensington Oval managed it. Well done.

I just hope the track at Trinidad is more interesting cos we’ll really have the time this coming weekend to follow a fair old chunk of the game.

runs and boundaries are all very well, but in all honestly, nothing beats watching a middle stump go cartwheeling across the pitch, preferably if the batsman then practices the stroke he should have played.

I’ve also read they build the roads to get 5 day Tests, yet curiously both the Sydney and Joberg Tests went into a 5th day yet yielded a result, good crowds and edge of your seat cricket.

Could it be that the groundsman are too scared to build a wicket on which their team might lose?

Perhaps Flatley riverdancing on the pitch was exactly what it needed to make it more of a contest.

Or failing him, Shahid Afridi.
