The Second Investec Ashes Test, England v Australia, Lords

[El Presidente]

Its a shame really, that Michael Clarke seems a thoroughly decent bloke. Always very generous and gracious in defeat.

I'd find the spankings being dished out, even MORE fantastic, if their captain was somebody more unlikeable.

If I was coming home to THIS



every night I would be very gracious in all aspects of life, let alone defeat in the Ashes.

They could do worse than picking The Goff as a replacement for Pattinson

Who's The Goff? My curiosity has conquered my ignorance.

Steve McGoffin - Sussex's Australian seamer who has proved very adept in English conditions in his 18 months here. I'd be tempted to agree but I think seam bowling is the only areas they are pretty strong in.

James Taylor will play for Sussex against the Australians starting tomorrow. I think a score would put him first in line to replace Pietersen if he doesn't make Old Trafford. It will be good to see him get a go against a slightly friendlier attack than the South African's he made his debut against. Very talented player, who has consistently made runs in all forms of the game. http://www.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2013/content/story/654759.html

Moisture on the strip ? I should say El Pres.
