Or perhaps to go along with my fickle nature:

Any New Cricketer Appreciation Society.

That way i can just go from one to the other as soon as someone new makes a ton/takes a 5-fer. Less hassle. :D

Yes, but you'd have to face the eventuality that every now and again someone rubbish scores a century or gets wickets - you wouldn't want to be caught raving about the abilities of Michael Yardy, now would you? :p

A very fine future England prospect - i can think of worse players to shout about! :p

OK then, what about Rikki? I'm sure he'll score another hundred at some point. And Rana Naved hit one this season...... :p

(and you're probably right about Yardy, I just pick on him 'cause he only got into the team after bashing Bangladesh around!)

I generally shout about England players only, which Cook will very obviously be in the future. But i can make exceptions!

It just stood up and said "please be said", and I wasn't strong enough to contain my urge.
I guess I kind of asked for it by rating him in the first place!

Just out of interest, is there anyone you rate lower than him? :D

Uh, I recognise that name.. Did he go to Millfield?
No idea, but David English (the guy who runs the Bunbury Festival) claims he and Stuart Meaker are both the new Freddie, and Billy Godleman is the new Vaughan/Gower/Jesus or someone.

I don't really want to drag this thread up again but I feel I have to set the record straight about Luke Sutton's declaration with Ginger Wizard Graham Welch on 99*. Apparently, it was Welch's idea to come off so that they could have a crack at the openers before tea. Typical selfless decision from a very honest, highly competent cricketer. So my calling Sutts a "Cold-hearted traitor *******" was unfair and inaccurate. I am sure that Sutton would have stayed at Derbyshire had they been good enough to enhance his chances of an England place. He gave his all everytime he played for them.

I assumed it was because of the tea interval, and there was a lot of rain in the air at the time
