This is condensed from How not to treat a keeper: Geraint Jones has lost his contract, but Chris Read hasn’t been given one. So when England take the field at Brisbane, one man will be getting paid less, and offered less security, than nearly all his team-mates, and it will be the man whose role is to be the hub of everything they do. You get the nasty feeling that Duncan Fletcher, a Jones fan, is having second thoughts about switching to Read, even though he has done a great job since his surprise recall seven weeks ago. Not a bad read.Friday, September 22, 2006

I really like Tim de Lisle. Living in Australia, and with all the rampant Ozzie nationalism coming to the fore in the press and at work, it is good to hear some English views (other than Geoff Boycott, who is too downbeat) and Henry Bloefelt, who just sounds too much like a toff.
