Ollie on Onion's opener...

Oliver Brett reporting for BBC Sport at Lord's today tells of Graham Onion's dream debut. [Link]

"Five wickets fell in 14 balls after tea - four of them to Onions who took three in an over and wound up with a marvellous 5-38."

Now, I hate cricket but couldn't pass up such a gift of a title; the quote is just some fun to wind-up and/or confuse anyone who doesn't understand a thing it says (a large majority no doubt!)

Now how can you hate cricket?

I don't mind village green stuff, lying out with a drink in the warm summer evenings with sandwiches etc. It just seems trying to take it seriously is crazy and a joke. I know it's not a usual stance for an Englishman but hey, aren't we meant to be eccentric? ;-)

Somebody once said that cricket was the most 'zen' of sports stating that you can't see the ball when its bowled, can't see it when it's hit and you have no idea where it's gone until you see somebody chasing after it.
