Today's quota of kandrAvi: Flintoff's comment on Englis gendilman public school product Atherton

[wizzy]

^Sanju Manju should thank his lucky stars that he doesn't get to commentate in Eng..imagine the abuse

Nanga left stranded on 199 apparently he was playing ultra cautiously to get to his double even celebrated only to be told otherwise yam now a firm believer in cricketing gods

More on Atherton. When he started playing County Cricket, he was anointed FEC(Future England Captain) even before he played a first class game. Thisd is because of his oxbridge background and the tradition of oxbridge old boys taking care of their network as selectors journalists influential opinion makers etc. The best oxbridge candidtae usually had lots of backing. In Lancashire, where they breed no nonsense straight speaking folks from "lower" class background, Atherton's kit was marked FEC - but with a twist. They changed E to Educated but FC, I'll leave it to your imagination. This is for feeyar - vulgar language is also part of Englis cricket but public school oxbridge cabal still rules so you get to see the Cook Strauss types as captain contenders heavily promot. This is one of the reasons KP was conspired against.

Guess it's not only India's youngsters who perform seasonally in the IPL...West indies faring poorly in defending a good score of 172...

Zimbabwe has beaten SA twice in three T20 matches. They chased 150 in 17 overs - this without Albie getting a bowl - last night.

Merv Hughes said once how he couldn't even understand Atherton's sledges as they were too clever.

I don't like him much because he represents the painful time when Eng was pathetically struggling and he himself wasn't that good.

Complete lack of logic - unsurprising.
