Everyone likes a list. Unless it’s for the big shop. We never use a list when food shopping and last week, planning on doing a roast followed by cheese, we bought everything bar the chicken and the cheese.

So it goes.

But away from the fluorescent-illuminated stationary trolleys of dawdling fat people pawing at the fizzy pop, lists are fine. As such, here are our six reasons why England will win the World T20.

DON'T BE LIKE GATT!

Mike Gatting wasn't receiving the King Cricket email when he dropped that ludicrously easy chance against India in 1993.

  4. You won’t believe how England can win the World T20! Here are six amazing reasons!

      When it doesn’t work, you can treat it as an instruction, or assume that the user of said acronym is informing you of the nature of their most recent repast.

  5. The comments on Cricinfo from people that have clearly taken something like this as a serious article never cease to make me smile.

  6. Looking ahead, after the World T20 has endeth:

  9. The day you returned from your big shop without the chicken, did you demolish a Nandos instead, KC? Or what?

    Please stop sparing us these vital details.

    1. No, we made a second shop and then made something that was actually quite akin to a Nandos. We then obliterated it – by which we mean that we ate it.
