< 1 minute read No. This is not the greatest post of all time. This is quite possibly a competitor for the title ‘worst post of all time’. Two hours, people. We’re on the edge of our seat and we’ve seen the thing maybe a thousand times already. You will literally NEVER get bored

It’s your birthday tomorrow and it’s Christmas tomorrow AND that girl off that television advert that you’ve got a thing for has got something planned for you too
< 1 minute read Maybe you’re feigning indifference. Maybe you think you’re above it all. Maybe you genuinely don’t care. It matters not a jot. We are going to RAIN CAPITAL LETTERS DOWN UPON YOU in the build-up to the greatest post of all time. It is being published TOMORROW at midday to mark

< 1 minute read If you think by failing to engage us, you’re going to discourage us, you’re kidding yourselves. If you think your silence is going to avert an excruciatingly unnecessary, day-by-day countdown, you’re wrong. It is two days until Rob Key plays for England in the Twenty20 World Cup. It is two

< 1 minute read Friday is a very special day. Friday is a very, very special day. Friday is the day when Rob Key represents England in the World Cup. At this point in time, we’re not even considering the slight possibility that he might not play. If he doesn’t play in the warm-up

< 1 minute read We saw this plastered across Jrod’s Balls yesterday. It’s Eoin Morgan doing something quite ridiculous in the name of batting. It’s pretty impressive, but is he really that good? He can play that shot well enough in those circumstances, but how well would he bat with his upper arms tied

< 1 minute read In his first 23 one-day innings, Paul Horton passed 50 once. Now he’s got the format cracked. Take that The Friends Provident Trophy! Consider yourself and any other 50-over competitions CRACKED. It seems like only last week we were writing about Paul Horton’s first one-day hundred and now here we

< 1 minute read That’s the caption to this picture on Cricinfo. We’d rather this were a slip from a Cricinfo staff member, but we suspect it was done knowingly. Thanks to Sam for pointing this out, although we’re increasingly concerned by the frequency with which he sends Ian Bell pictures to us.

< 1 minute read Just imagine the match announcer saying: “Opening the batting for England: Robert Key and someone else.” Because that’s what they’d say. They wouldn’t name the second batsman, because there would be NO POINT. The announcer has already given you all the information you could ever need: It’s England and it’s

< 1 minute read Rumours that we kidnapped Geoff Miller’s family and told him we were going to force them to watch Eastenders constantly until he picked Tim Bresnan for England are well wide of the mark. Clearly we told him to pick Rob Key and clearly he ignored us. We released the Miller

< 1 minute read Graham Onions was called into the England squad today and he’s celebrated in fine style. It’s been debated whether runs scored at Taunton count as much, being as the pitch is famously so generous to batsmen. If that’s the case, what are wickets worth? Presumably more. We’ve also argued that
