He said nothing of the sort but I thought I’d go tabloid for a headline. First the backstory. It had been a morgue of a week but there was some cheer today. I went to an early season jamboree; the Great Exhibition.
That’s the Ecb slogan for the ‘biggest summer of cricket ever’. No footer; World cup or Euros, no Olympics, no anything apart from 71 days of competitive cricket. The back pages this summer belong to the Game. First come the Windies, then 2020 world cup and lastly that test series that begins with an A that’ ll never be menitoned here. It’s not like it needs publicity.
Back to Strauss. I am not breaking my rule- writing about the professional game- but I did have 30 seconds with him after the BBC, Times, Mirror, Sky, mainstream media etc. I won’t tell you how many BBC outlets I thought I saw covering the day because you might go into a Daily Mail rage. Back to Strauss again.Watch the vlog below and you’ll hear a startling prediction; it’s about 2 mins 3o secs in- if you want to skip the waffle that comes before .

Hi,
….. You do have an amazing site here. you’re blog rolled
Posh
Which club do you play for?????
I have introduced this to a couple of my friends. Iain o’ Brien the New Zealand bowler used to write like you before he came into the international picture…..and he still does. Check him out.
If you want an Indian audience, then you’ve got to write about the tendulkars and the dravids. I’m just suggesting that you write that……
Goodluck getting a ton,
Cheers,
Posh
Good job on a great blog.
Let’s hope Andrew does it three tons.
I can’t wait for Ashes Cricket, why do we have to play the others at all ?
