    People are angry because they know they’re being lied to. He’s got the smallest violin in the world. Bazz is in New Zealand were he lives. Why isn’t he in the uk looking at players for the test against NZ

  • Keep things in check

    While being as thrilled as anyone by Bethell’s tremendous knock at Sydney, let’s keep things in perspective before comparisons with some of the greats of the game such as David Gower! A cold water moment to counter some of the OTT plaudits, Bethell has scored 55 runs in 6 first innings (49 of those runs in his 5 first innings at number three). To reiterate i am delighted for him and hope he has a fantastic summer in England. Let’s just keep things in check!
