Looking forward to my copy of the Wisden Cricketer's Almanack arriving soon. Especially as Lawrence Booth has given the Bazball regime both barrels in his editorial notes for the new edition.

It remains to be seen how much notice is taken of performances in County Cricket. There's a lad called Anderson at Lancashire. Looks good, should be in the national team.

I saw mention that after the previous Ashes hammering, a certain Robert William Trevor Key was using his television profile to push for the removal of incumbent CEO and coach Ashley Giles and Chris Silverwood.

Odd how when the same thing happens to Key he's asking for more time. Double standards?
