England Try New Generation of Bowlers
In a move not completely unprecidented, infact totally expected of the ECB, it seems the Chairman of Selectors has finally decided to call time on the careers of esteemed veterens Liam Plunkett and Sajid Mahmood. Despite a combined tally of 100 wickets at only 57.48 each, the board clearly feel that its now time to look to the future, towards building a team for the 2011 world cup. However, its a move that has its critics. Mr W. Hinger, former teacher of recent cap Johnny Bedwetter, citied the early call up as detrimental to the young players growth.
'Johnny shouldn't be put under such pressure so early, he's not mentally ready for this. He should be allowed to focus on strengthening his skills, especially with his GCSE's coming next year.'
However, a source close to the team disagreed. In an off the record discussion he stated 'Being involved in the team from such an early age will help form long lasting bonds with other players. Just as long as they like Jelly Babies they'll fit in fine.'
With the crucial 5 test series against Mongolia starting next month, many feel that such a high pressure series could be too much for the youths, and more experience should be drafted in. However, in yesterdays interview Monty Panesar disagreed. The allrounder responded to such questioning by stating 'So long as they keep things simple, and bowl in the right area's, there is no problem.'
One experienced player hoping to play will be Andy Flintoff, who is recovering after his recent pioneering operation involving a genetically cloned ankle. Both Flintoff and the carrier mouse are recouperating at home. However plans to grow Michael Vaughan a new knee on the back of a cat wont be finalised till next years ashes.

Pietersen - "I will humiliate myself"
Having tried and failed to humiliate opposition players and teams, England's Kevin Pietersen has announced his intention to "humiliate myself" on the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.
Having promised to humiliate Australia in the Ashes series and the Twenty20 World Cup to no avail, and to embarrass India's Zaheer Khan with some kindly words concerning sugary confectionary, Pietersen has decided to turn his sight's closer to home.
"Humiliation is something everyone should experience, even me" he said. When pressed on the success of his tactics in the past, Pietersen was effusive in his self-praise. "Worked didn't it? I made some good runs in the Ashes series and got 21 in the T20 game in good time. It doesn't matter how the team went, I did humiliate them all, even if they won each of those games".
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Pietersen may have his wires crossed with team management, who apparently asked him to display more humility when dealing with other cricketers. "Humility? What's humility?" Pietersen was heard to mutter as he trudged to the airport for his early flight home.

Bitter episode over a cricket match - supporters come to blows.
In a very unfortunate incident reported from Hyderabad, two cricket fans came to blows with each other over the performances of Team India in the recent past. Even though the exact names and identities of the men involved shall not be revealed, it would be interesting to note that one of them was called "Turbinator" and "Turd" while the other was called "Raghav".
The incident apparently took place after Raghav, a well known vocal supporter of India, claimed that India were the greatest cricket team ever and that they didn't know how to lose. On this, Turd, who is equally well known for his hate of the Indian team and the fact that he rates New Zealand to be the greatest side in the world, took exception and pointed out that New Zealand were the best team in the world. He explained that it was only because New Zealand were so good that the other teams were afraid to play them, which explains their lack of test cricket action in recent times. Raghav responded by pointing out that if it weren't for India, New Zealand would be well on their way home from the Twenty20 World Championships and as such, New Zealand should lift baggage for the Indians as a show of gratitude. The situation rapidly detoriated and they ended up coming to blows with each other before the neutrals got in the way and seperated them.
Well known cricket supporters C_C and tooextracool suggested that instead of trading blows, they could try to solve mathematical puzzles to prove their machoism and in fact offered advice on how to effectively use trash talk to solve such puzzles...
