Or even one of the more usual imports called, say, Jan-Thomas Jansen de Kock.

Or does he come from Dover?

That's right me old de Kock-a-leeky mate flap sparrow cockney rhyming bollocks, I'm your man!

No need to get all Yorgos Georgios on us.

Bingo. You're the chap that put the 'chap' in chaps.

there is a disturbing lack of Trevving in this thread...

accordingly I expect some future Pomgolian champs to emerge

Trevor Ronald Mudge has been too busy stalking I Ronald Knicker-cupboard. He worked out that if he took the short trip to NZ to stalk him, instead of Coventry he could save enough money to have Bellywelly's wife killed.

wow...Mudge is taking this Trevving business too far

I'm unaware of any future superstars being talked up in the England youth set up. All seems to have gone very quiet.

Which may make for a pleasant surprise, if someone does turn out to be decent, rather than the usual crushing disappointment of an over-hyped protege who turns out to be unable to hold the bat the right way around. Or the tearaway fast bowler who dobs down 60mph lollypops.

SAf well on top. Will Young Englanders manage to hold out on the last day, for a series win?

I see you didn't mention the fact my man Oliver Stone took 6-48 whilst all the rest shat their bits. That's 11 for the match. You've gotta watch that seething jealousy.

Since when has he been 'your' man, my man?

You can't keep throwing around these possessive claims to film 'greats'.

He's not. Well, he is, like anyone who's 'the caynty'. But, he's not. But, 17 wicks @ 9.8 - he's the new SF Barnes. He's AF Barnes. Watch out. But don't. But do watch out for a bit, hope Trev doesn't Trev him, then see if Trev reverse-Trevs him.

That sort of thing.

The New Steyn? THAT sort of thing?

Well, no.



Maybe The New Paul Collingwood.

He's safe from my corrosive touch - for now. I shan't note him just yet.

If you has seen him when I saw him, you'd be dishing him out one of your notes.

This time, it'd be wrapped around a brick with the message of 'f*ck off, Sir Pedestrian of Dobbelot'.

Interesting finish building up.

Aye. 197 with 9 left. Couple of wickets and it could change but Eng in the box seat.

The Springs Old Boy beginning to take wickets.

How are Jason Roy and Saj Mahmood getting on these days?

Duckett gone for zilch.

England needing around 4 an over with 38 overs and six wickets left.

5 gone now.
