the s word

Well, there you are. For all you high-minded, principled tossers who pay so little heed to stanford that you don't even know what the score was, we got dicked. It was, however, not as simple as that. It was in fact a devilishly brilliant plan by the england management and team that achieved two things. Firstly, by losing so ridiculously, they robbed stanford's showpiece event of any drama or interest whatsoever, except for the 11 blokes who pocketed a million bucks, and who will now proceed to perform for the west indies as though they don't give a fuck. Secondly, and this must have been planned in tandem with the aussies, by capitulating in such a pusillanimous manner, they have highlighted how profoundly worthless 20/20 is compared with the drama of two fantastic teams going at it for five days.
Trust me- this is the only explanation for what happened.

England were hilariously feeble.

Fair play to Stanford though. I wouldn't mind bouncing the fragrant Mrs Prior on my knee.

Then giving her a damned good seeing to.
