Gutted I couldn't get today off work to go over to Old Trafford, seems I'm missing some classic Mitchell Johnson.

Bowling to the left is he?







Started writing something about Pietersen and I've ended up depressing myself.

try doing some work, that will cheer you up ! not to mention your employer ?

Pfft. Work is over-rated. And what if I've engineered everything so it works perfectly? (I haven't)

then you're a genius my friend - tell me how it's done !

KP's cringeworthy video is to no avail, dropped from the squad for the 3rd test. Could well be it for him.



Going to be a lot of pressure on Jonny Bairstow now.

KP will be back. Bigger and brasher than ever!!!

hope so and good riddance - sod off to the IPL and make a few bucks

Though obviously different type of batsmen style-wise, KP is basically another Geoffery Boycott - All for one, one for himself.



Both are/were great players, but if you had them in your dressing room, you would be tearing your hair out.



I'm not sure KP can come back from this, especially under the present regime, which seems to be a tight knit unit....His betrayal of Strauss and Flower is unforgivable.



It will probably need to be under a Cook captaincy before he has any chance of being recalled.

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?
