He is a personal trainer if I remember correctly, so possibly something to do with PE?
No. I'm a personal trainer on my free time. I'm a History and Film Studies student, although, I have an 'exam' on something slightly different today.

Heh. A let-off, to me, is simply either a dropped catch (ie a catch that should have been caught) or a bad decision in your favour.
Same here, whereas a chance can be a basic catch or one that could've been caught with a very good piece of fielding.

Oh I see, apologies.

From the cricinfo commentary:

"It's all fine at Hove, though, where the Marks Ramprakash and Butcher are creating a song and a dance"

How many times can David Gower say "decent" in one over?

3 in that one from Collymore.

Cook and Strauss average 37 opening the batting together in 15 innings. Yet to reach a century partnership, is today the day?

TBH, they'll rarely get a better chance. Given that the ball has apparently been swinging loads this season, the bowling's been very, very poor to date.

Taylor comes back on as I speak - will we see the when-the-lacquer's-off effect by any chance?

Wrong way around, TBH. Butcher creates the song, Ramps the dance.
There was no "respectively" on the end of that sentence, though. In a combined effort, they are creating a song and a dance. The sentence never attempted to attributed each action to each player, or even say that one player was doing one while the other did the other.

How bad is Collymore? Im not even going to say he is bowling badly as by the looks of him he doesnt look capable of bowling much better.

I could have sworn a few years ago he had a bit of nip. Now he is a complete trundler.

The bowling hasn't been too bad really, it was quite tidy early on and beat the edge quite a few times. Just too wayward though, as opposed to lacking in penetration. Quite a few leg side deliveries, and also too many short and wide outside the off stump.

With the in-form Owais Shah to come, as well as KP and Bell it should be a big score for England.
