Greetings, fans of all things sport! Diving right in with important news first: your cricket update! Right! Alastair Cook, the Essex man, captain of the English Test cricket team, refreshed
and right as rain, has had two months off since collecting the Ashes at The Oval at Stoke-on-Trent and was at a Heathrow hotel on
Wednesday night, looking forward to the craic of the team gathering for what is
the marquee tour of any England cricketer's life. "English batsmen must come out firing at The Ashes," insisted a visibly cheesed off Cook. "We can't be faffin' or muckin' about when we haven't beaten the cack out of Australia in a donkey's age!" he concluded.
Yet it was a mere three years ago, on the true, pacy pitches of Australia, that Cook became an Ashes legend with an astounding 766 runs at an average 127.66. So much time did he spend at the crease – 2,171 minutes, a record
for a five-match series – that he might have considered a civil partnership! During the last summer he was less successful. "This summer they bowled well at me and I didn't execute as well as I
could have done. But have a butcher at this tourney. We'll have those Aussies faggin' fer us like butlers!"
Confident words, certainly! He'll be sure to cross the pitch and ground his bat at the crease with that attitude!
Now, on to footie!
Clough confirmed as new Blades boss! Sheffield United have
appointed former Derby boss, Nigel Clough, as their new manager!
Boro land Ayala! Middlesbrough have signed Spanish defender
Daniel Ayala on loan from Norwich.
The 22-year-old has joined Boro on a 93-day deal and is
expected to go straight into the squad for Friday night's home league game
against Doncaster!
Excitement is afoot!
Badminton!
The English National Badminton Championships will move from
Manchester to Milton Keynes next year! And as there probably isn't much more to
say on that front, that concludes this inaugural edition of:
British Sporting World! Ta.
