You might not choose Tuffers' brain, but what about his sausage?

The term ‘mystery spinner’ conjures up all sorts of problems in an Englishman’s mind. There’s Shane Warne’s famous Gatting-ball; there’s Paul Adams doing his frog-in-a-blender impression; there’s Murali’s unplayable doosra; and then there’s the biggest conundrum of all: thousands don’t understand how the hell Johan Botha gets away with that action. However, us Poms reckon the Aussies have really…
England 169 all out (23.3 overs). New Zealand 159-8 (24 overs) Back in stereotypical English conditions (or is perpetual rain and damp typically Welsh?), England marched into the semis yesterday. There was no drama about the pace of the innings – even our top 3…
Much has already been written about the events which took place in a Birmingham pub during the early hours of last Sunday morning. David Warner has been chastised and suspended from the Australian team; Joe Root has accepted his assailant’s contrite apology. But we believe…
England 293-7 (50 overs). Sri Lanka 297-3 (47.1 overs) The mindset of England’s strategic think-tank has always intrigued me. They sit on the balcony making notes, stoking their chins, adjusting their shades, and they occasionally nod in agreement when England collect six singles off six…
I hope you were wearing appropriate eye-protection during the England v Australia Champions Trophy match last Sunday. The teams’ respective coloured outfits – scarlet and daffodil – would not have looked out of place in a particularly gung-ho teach-yourself-Mondrian art class. The combination…
England 269-6 (50 overs). Australia 221-9 (50 overs) Boxing isn’t everyone’s cup of Twinings, but the blogosphere would be a much poorer place without boxing analogies. Saturday’s ODI at Edgbaston was round one of the forthcoming heavyweight contest between England and Australia. England didn’t quite…
England 287-6 (50 overs). New Zealand 253 all out (46.3 overs) Cricket has a great way of making people look foolish. For 45 overs of England’s innings in the 3rd ODI against the Kiwis, experts were calling the pitch ‘sticky’, ‘two-paced’ and rather slow. England’s…
Following England’s humiliation at the Eurovision Sing Song, we’re quickly becoming a right-wing lot here at TFT HQ (especially that Maxie Allen). Consequently, we do not believe either Britain or Ireland’s long term future lies in the EU. When UKIP and Nigel Farage inevitably win…
New Zealand 359-3 (50 overs). England 273 all out (44.1 overs) He sat there on the balcony making notes. Every time a wicket fell, or a boundary was conceded (probably from a Dernbach longhop), a further entry was made into the notebook. We can’t tell…
Imran wants to change the world. Eddie Hemmings runs a village shop.
