Extras

“James Anderson is looking more and more like Karl Pilkington. … This probably makes Graeme Swann Ricky Gervais.” tweets  Dan Brigham of the Cricketer mag.  And Stuart Broad as Stephen Marchant?

 

Swannderful Life

Lord’s Ground are doing their Wordy Wednesday on cricket films….

 

Toff and Oiks

“Most amazing cricket fact that I’ve uncovered today … @timbresnan went to Eton! #true #posherthanhesounds” tweets ace snapper Philip Brown.  And here’s the proof – Timothy posing with some oiks…

Unchained melody

“Reading festival tonight with @JimmyAnderson9 details are sketchy as to how long our slot is. …not sure how long two men can play the tambourine whilst humming ….”  I see them as the Robson and Jerome de nos jours

Sideburns

Brooding over the Test loss (but rejoicing at Le Wiggins win) – aha!  could this be the solution?

Double knits

Pleased to see Swann and Jimmy A taking time out in sweltering Sri Lanka to publicise the new ECB section – fashion!

Pyjamas

“I must be getting old, I’m seriously contemplating pyjama bottoms tonight rather than your classic ‘tackle out’ attire” tweets Swann.  An ECB marketing opportunity surely…

Cooked

“Just remembered that I was mistaken for Alastair Cook this weekend. This could mean one of two things….Either I desperately need a haircut or I’ve gone slightly cross-eyed.”  or as Rowan points out “Or you’re wearing too much mascara.”

Perhaps what they saw was this..

Chuck

“Jimmy Anderson is cricket’s Chuck Norris.” tweets his benefit website (and it’s v nice looking).  Chuck?  Really?  Cripes..

Countdown

Stuart Broad tweets “Playing Countdown on the iPad against @JimmyAnderson9. Has anyone ever got the conundrum?! #vowelcarol the music puts me under big pressure!”

Hope it’s the original Richard Whiteley et al version…
