In effect, yes. We'll get a few balls of Burns scuttling, crab-like across his crease and then Root'll be in.

:nono: Hammond customarily batted 3 or 4. You're thinking of Herbert Sutcliffe. Or possibly Sir Len Hutton.

Cheers for the heads up B, I'm always ready and willing to learn a bit of cricket knowledge. I'm expecting a lot of insight from you during this series.

This would be a great time to be unemployed for 6 weeks imo. Through ones own choice of course...

Great time??? Open golf has now finished and the Ashes will only fill up 3 days a week unless it might drizzle a bit (soft ****s)
