Broonster's appearance on the TV highlights programme during the Twenty:20 World Cup (see Face in the Crowd, Monday 8th June) prompted James Pope to ask us all to watch out for him on the coverage of a later game. Sadly, it was not to be.
His second attempt at media stardom failed when England collapsed pathetically at Headingley and so his tickets were useless.
But JP is a persevering sort and so we were not surprised to spot the following on the BBC text coverage of today's play -
"My masters dissertation deadline is tomorrow at 4pm, I aim to finish it as soon as possible so i can concentrate on the most important thing this week!!!" James, Edinburgh (working furiously) in the TMS inbox.
2nds' survival ? Gerry's gig on saturday night ? Answers on a postcard, please.

ReplyDeleteFrom James (no longer working furiously), Edinburgh, TMS inbox: "The Aussies can whinge all they want about the pitch, everyone has to use the same one. End of the day, Broad bowled a tremendous spell, akin to Fred here at The Oval in 2005 to ensure an Aussie collapse. Australia should whinge about their cricket team, unable to beat an England team that have underperformed. Hats off to our lads though, they haven't played well at times, but they are now on the verge of winning back the Ashes and making a Punter look a mug."
Nice try Popester. Close, but no cigar....
