Although I am mildly dismayed at having to wait for WG Grace's promised observations, I'll accept that there were more pressing matters to discuss, what with that KP fellow and all.
Andy, you remain cricket's finest analyst.
You don't have to be an English cricket fan to love the Zaltzone.
As an aussie, I think it was a bizarre decision to get rid of KP and smacks of lily livered leadership. We've got prima donnas too (Warner, Watson) but Boof seems to have sorted them out.
At last a cricket guru who has his finger on the pulse, or something similar, of the worlds greatest sport. Good to see a punter grip the neck of the problem and give it a damn good thrashing in the quest for that seldom found snippet of information the others fail to get. A tornado of fresh, nay brass monkeys, air through the honourable world of willow and leather. I doff my cap to your verbal magnificence sir.
Andy Zaltzman, my hero! Ha ha, brilliant brilliant
Trust Andy to give an incisive analysis of the KP affair
best thing that was invented since sliced bread! lol good job!
Andy, Simply very very good!
Genius!One of the best inventions in cricket history
SubTextrictator 3000 should stay. What an invention! Zaltz is a comedy genius.
We definitely need real-time Subtextricator3000-derived subtitles for every post-match press conference!
