As Nasser Hussain almost said re Flower, it takes a special kind of idiot to take on a man who went toe-to-toe with Robert Mugabe

Finally something to cheer this season as Lancashire beat the Dutch to ensure we've done better against them than Yorkshire did last season.

Bow before Borren

No match for Swart, Denton's finest.

Although the only member of Dutch staff I'll be bowing for is Tessa.

Yon physio? Yes, quite.

very nice too - what a job/hobby ?

anything a bit more 'intimate' ?

she really is a stunner - what does she look like 'in the flesh' ?

Just a hobby, always carry some form of camera with me wherever I go, just in case!



I wish!



Just as good - really pretty girl without even trying. She gained quite a large fan club whilst we were over there.

back to reality....

see KP has been dropped from the Surrey side just to rub salt in the wounds ?

really, KP is a nut !

Hadn't seen that. It'll either help kick his a.rse into gear or it'll make him spit his dummy out and look to play elsewhere.

The latter's fine by me, I don't want us to be facing him again at the end of the season!

I don't think he's been dropped by Surrey, I think the ECB have refused to let him play for them for some reason.

Anyone have any idea who will be opening for Lancs at Worcester this week (if there's any play that is) with Moore being dropped?

Strauss certainly isnt giving the impression that they're close to kissing and making up. Seems very angry about it.

It does read more that the ECB have not made him available for selection. The smoke screen around it does seem a little strange.



I'd go with the Greek (no way I'm attempting to type his name). Why not?

not surprising really when you consider that KP is alleged to have called some of his England team mates very nasty names in afrikaanse by text messages to some South African players...

Is this Pietersen's revenge? I mean, he scored a brilliant hundred at Leeds which nobody talked about because we were all watching the women's lightweight double sculls from Eton Dorney. Now he's ensuring we all watch a game of cricket he's not involved in and talk about only him.

nah, I think he's just a big-headed p*µ=k whose ego is bigger than his cricket bat - I don't want him playing for England again not when he's making such comments about his team mates

Swann back for Bresnan. So still a four-man attack and Bairstow listed to come in at four. It looks horribly unbalanced to me.
Saffers won toss and are batting.

Suppose there's always the chance of a good old-fashioned Saffer choke to save us

Misplaced cycnicism on my part? For the first session at least.

God bless you Rod Tucker.

Nowhere near enough evidence to overturn that Kallis decision.

It's all gone a bit bobbins from 60/4 yesterday...
