I would imagine that Morgan is perfectly happy how his career is going. As he plays no red ball cricket at all these days, I'd be surprised if he had any real ambition to play test cricket again. International white ball cricket for England and T20 leagues around the world would seem to fill his time quite adequately.

Blofeld has/had a unique commentary style. I would rather listen to him than many of the new breed of commentators (almost exclusively ex-players) with their monotone and homogeneous delivery. |

Sad about Blowers going. It feels like the end of an era having listened to people like Brian Johnston.

But I have huge affection for the man. I like the talk of things other than cricket and can't abide those commentators who endlessly drivel on about the batsman's technique and the bowler's approach to the crease - like they were giving us a coaching session (yawn!) So I will bid him a fond farewell and hope that the more colourful commentators like Aggers, Vic, Tuffers and Swanny prevail over the tech-talkers. |

Sad for me to see him sidelined, but he was no match for John Arlott (IMHO)
So long as Aggers is there I'll keep listening. In face it really annoys my Daughter because I have the TV on with the sound down. TMS on the radio, and I am on my Laptop at the same time, and if I even mention her having her phone at the dinner table............I get a gentle reminder, lets put it that way. Have a good retirement Blowers.

Do not see much ( if anything) written about this so here goes.
After all the 'excitement' of the ICC Champion's Trophy tournament in good ol' blighty another tournament is taking place in this 'sunny' isle. I refer to none other than the Women's World Cup. Now, actually, the fairer sex have performed, if memory serves, better than their male counterparts. True that they lost somewhat heavily against India in their first game. And then on to Pakistan in the second. Showed the men up somewhat with a score of 377. Yeah. Not a typo. 377. Won the game due to abandonment under the D-L-S system but they would have won it anyway. Sri Lanka in the next match. A bit of a bogey side for the ladies but bring it on !. Just hope that summer returns. |

I am sure the men would have enjoyed facing some of the woe full bowling dished up by the Pakistan women.

Isn't Henry Blofeld married to a woman 50 years younger than him?
