Cricket is the pursuit of gentlemen. A game of pure metaphysics. Here - I pause - recalling the age of 'the very good look'. I return to the joy of my childhood, adolescence and mid-twenties and discover cricket on the threshold of a cataclysm.

Turgid Twenty20 for 20
sorry Middlesex and T&T,
but this is terminally boring.
The ideal soporific.
Good night (yawn)...

I said I wouldn’t, but...

Crusaders off to Antigua!!! Spitfires shot down at the death!!!
But there can only be one set of winners (on the flight to Antigua)...
I have behaved badly today.
That Irish guy begging me for money - then WorldVision guy Gabriel @Shepherd's Bush shopping centre opposite BoooksEtc (now no more) - then me pretending to support ltvn through his bad link to the final, then me hopping off to chavstar at the drop of a hat (I'm a cricket channel slag - no loyalty at all). Sins...
- indifference to the poor (Irish guy in Harlesden)
- indifference to the poverty stricken (World Vision)
- hypocrisy - pretending to care then jumping into someone else's ship when I didn't get what I wanted (ltvn tried, wasn't happening. Pretended to be nice, but I left him alone for a better stream of T20 on another channel...)
Now I feel ashamed because I have no shame. If I'm like this for a game of cricket streamed across the web, what would I be like for something of real importance???
I'm now going to feel very bad about myself. I hate me today. I'm a middle-aged no-hoper. What's up with me?
Will cricket ever be shown (or made available) on terrestrial or Freeview TV ever again? Will anyone give a monkey's t*ss if it isn't?
