I've been worrying about the distinct lack of quality of Times leaders for a while. However the second paragraph in today's piece entitled
Australia: Dingoland
is particularly special
The trouble with wilderness, as they see it, is that when you get there, there is no there there.
I stopped reading after that. It's like they just don't care anymore.
Speaking of not caring anymore, the hand of Sky Sports has touched Steve Kirby, after Patel and Bopara last year, and Napier in the first half of this year. Steve Kirby has been touted for England after two good performances on TV.
During yesterday's game Nick Knight was thrilled about him and detailed to us how Steve Kirby is a quick learner and has obviously matured, but still has a few things to learn (hot to bowl a yorker, mix up his lengths etc.)
You would be forgiven for thinking Kirby was a 21 year old firebrand. But he is 31 in a month! He has played 98 first class games! What about that makes you think he has learnt anything? Why should he play for England? What has possessed Nick Knight?
Nick Knight also masturbated over Eoin Morgan and his "array of shots" (I'm pretty sure he can only play a really shitty pre-meditated sweep and nothing else). However I will let that pass as he is at least young.
N.B. I love Steve Kirby and his awesome ball-tampering ways, this is meant as a knock to Verity more than anything else.

What you fail to mention is that Steve Kirby has been learning session by session for 98 first class games.
That's a shit load of learning.
Does anyone else remember when Kirby was really fast?
I love county cricket
