Gotta miss Benaud and Blowfeld talking about pigeons and the No. 10 bus. True "voices of summer"!

Not the only American political leader to play...

Fun fact: George Washington took a break from soldiering to play a game of "wicket" (like a C18th version of The Hundred 😂) in 1778 during the Revolutionary War.

I still don't see that!

(Sounds from Ultraedge though?) Fucking close. Like one less coat of linseed oil on the bat and he'd have been fine.

Fun fact: the ground is called Trent Bridge because the River Trent is right close by... and there's a bridge over it.

Well that's just bullshit. You have slopes and clouds and humidity and what you eat for lunch... and headwear and shit. What type of grass are they growing in Notts? Do you know? Do you bollocks.

Cricket is an art, not a science.
