Cricinfo and the ten ball Test

I enjoyed this:

Rain stops play Oh dear, that's unfortunate. The shower is sweeping in, and we have a delay. Hopefully it is only a brief interlude. Gnasher, our man on the ground, claims he can see a kid building a sand-castle at fine leg. That's not a kid, it's Ian Bell, who's suddenly got a lot of time on his hands on this trip

it deserved its own thread

Sez you.

yep ...

... and it's brought him right back into form, he's back for the Fourth test, so let's not knock sandcastle-building in the outfield as a route into the English Test team.

'Keep' the faith. On to Drawbridgetown.

More proof, for those who had forgotten: today's sandcastle-building festive Belf is tomorrow's Ashes-winning legend.

Arise Sir Ian ... who said he was just a bugger'd and spey'd elf?
