To be fair to myself the selection of John Part wasn't too shrewd given that he took an absolute pasting, but it's a profit and one can always find cause to rejoice when Tottenham lose. This has returned a nelson in cricket parlance - £111 - not quite enough to finance my weekend plans so I may re-invest it or just spend it on sweets.
Speaking of cricket, what a bizarre ending to the test match. I don't know much about cwicket and hindsight is 20-20, but I did say at the time - albeit to myself - that they should have enforced the follow on.But given that Flintoff and Harmison are such nancy boys they couldn't have coped with the remaining 12 overs left in that day, it's fair enough they chose to bat, but they should have not have put a night watch man in when they had a lead of nearly 300 on Toosaday night and should have declared 75 runs sooner saving themselves at least two hours.
England seem to have an awesome knack of making the absolute worst from promising situations. Kevin Pietersen may have even busted up his hand at the end there, ironically because of his more aggressive approach to the game they'd have won had they kept him as captain.
