        After playing himself in slowly, Ian Bell exploded in the last few minutes before lunch, hitting a world record 98 off just 17 balls.

        Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

            Letter from America. I liked that - it always had a nice rhythm. "When I was a cub reporter on the Baltimore Clarion, I met Aaron Burr's great-grandson and he told me a story about George Washington...I was thinking of this when I met Ladybird Johnson...The apple blossom is out in New England at this time of year..."
            Different spelling of Alistair / Alastair/ Alister I think

                      England's new celebration whenever they take a wicket.

                      On the Ning Nang Nong
                      Where the Cows go Bong!
                      And the Monkeys all say Boo!
                      There's a Nong Nang Ning
                      Where the trees go Ping!
                      And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
                      On the Nong Ning Nang
                      All the mice go Clang!
                      And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
                      So it's Ning Nang Nong!
                      Cows go Bong!
                      Nong Nang Ning!
                      Trees go Ping!
                      Nong Ning Nang!
                      The mice go clang!
                      What a noisy place to belong,
                      Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

                          Cycling's on but a quick flick over while the ads are on:

                          Bowler bowls. Batter hits it in the air. Catcher moves in quickly towards the falling ball. Catcher...

                          Sorry, ads are finished.

                            Another ad break:

                            Bowler looking absently into the middle-distance while rubbing his crotch.

                            I immediately turned back to Eurosport. I don't want to watch that sort of thing.
