Free to Cook in London

Just a quick post… It seems that Alastair Cook has been given the freedom of the city of London. I’m not really sure what this entitles him to, but for scoring over 700 runs in an Ashes series I should think you are entitled to some pretty cool bonuses and rewards.

Time for a right old cockney knees up!

Zulqarnain Haider Needs Asylum From Himself

Zulqarnain Haider is an interesting character. It’s hard to get a sense of what a person is really like when all you have to go on is how they are portrayed in the media, after all I’m not naive enough to believe everything I read in the papers. But Haider seems like a man who has perhaps not made the best choices in life.

I own Chris Woakes

Chris Woakes belongs to me. I sat here during the entire world bloody cup watching England be shit and fanny around losing to biffers like Ireland and the cynical slow bowling of Bangladesh, so I’ve been rewarded with Chris Woakes.

Dalrymple Puts the Sex back into Middlesex

I know Ospriet is a huge Middlesex supporter but sadly he is currently indisposed so it’s up to me to blog on the glorious return to Middlesex of Jamie Dalrymple.
