Dear England Cricket Team

[lemonbella]

When you ruined my christmas, I was sensible and considerate and I took a little break and stopped yelling obscenities at you. I left you alone and gave you the time and space you obviously needed. Then you started winning during the matches I didn't watch, and I was grudgingly impressed from a distance.

Now, when I've steeled myself to watch again, dusted off my cricket patriotism and started to get excited, you're going to throw away wickets against New Zealand are you? That's really how it's going to be?

Bastards.

If they show England and Kenya instead of South Africa and Australia next weekend I'm going to be exceptionally put out.

I bet they do, I may have to write an angry letter.

They've got four channels! one of which was showing motorsport this afternoon...

It just depends if they decide to show the big game of the day, or if they decide to show a home nation regardless, in the assumption that more people want to see Ireland play Bangladesh than want to see Australia, or want to see people pat Herschelle.

I want to see people pat Herschelle.

Surely people want to see people pat Herschelle?

They've shown all the home games, so I suspect we'll get england/kenya.

I find it hard to believe there's anyone out there who wouldn't spend four hours watching people pat Herschelle, or failing that spend four hours watching him bat.

Well, if there are those people, they're weird and shouldn't be accommodated by television schedulers.

It's not even like it's *just* Herschelle being patted. There's pattable Graeme as well.

I think the definition of insanity may be someone who would rather see England and Kenya than watch people patting Herschelle.

And Pollock. Pollock can get patted too. It might put him in a better mood.

Especially given how likley it is that Kenya will bowl us out for 17.

AB can be patted too, just so there's an even number.
