    And now they're rubbish and we can beat them without breaking a sweat. Sad.
    Somehow, I don't think you'd say the same about a rubbish Manchester United side, or a down-at-heels Bayern or Barcelona, would you? Or would you?

    It was for the missus. I am a cat man.

    Yes, but that's just football. And besides, no-one ever hated the West Indies. Not in the way everyone hated the dominant Aussie side of the 90s. One could admire the great West Indian teams while simply accepting that they were going to give England a bloody good hiding.

    Surely no-one would ever disparage a £500 Vectra?

    I love dogs, and men with dogs are my favourite people (because I know them and what they go through). However, the modern Yorkie is a very poor imitation of its mighty ancestors. I bet yours doesn't even know which end of a rat is which.

    He doesn't know much. He is tiny, runt of the litter. Thick as pig ****.

    Happy little fellow though.

    THe series is going to be pretty dull.
    It could rain for 2 days and we'll still win this match. The bowling is WI's strong suit......I'll just leave that there

    I certainly hated the fact that we didn't compete against them, same with the Australians. And no-one ever cried for us when we were losing every game, did they. As I say, **** 'em. This is all just your leftiness, anti-Englishness, shining through.

    Viv Richards is actually a relative of a family friend; met him many times, when I was a nipper.

    ..Which is the only important thing, of course.
