Ballots and Balls and Something Fishy



What's the connection between the MCC and The Olympic Committee? Neither wants bums like me filling their seats. It'll be deja vu in all sorts of ways. Hearing from so many others that they are in the same position, reading about the high levels of demand for tickets and watching the corporates not watch the events on the field. Thank goodness for Cook taking England to 200 in the first of the one dayers. Do you think that the Leverson Enquiry will investigate MCC to find out whether the aforementioned Merde D'Oc has encouraged them to restrict the tickets to maintain their number of satellite subscribers who feel the need to watch live cricket? Am I talking Balls? Let the Enquiry be the judge of that as it must have heard plenty by now.

Credit Agricole where Credit Lyonaisse is due. There was an offer to unsuccessful balloteers. There must have been a nudge, even if accompanied by a wink, from a fellow Olympian to offer something in lieu. Thanks for the £90, £85, £70, £60 and £40 offers, but maybe not. Cook is out. 230-6. He got 137. Well done MCC for your U-16s for a fiver. It's the cheapest rate anywhere to occupy youngsters for a whole day. I hope schools don't see an opportunity of another venue to send their disruptive pupils during Ofsted inspections, giving the school a chance to shine as I wouldn't like the MCC members verbally abused at times other than when they refuse to partake in the Mexican Waves. 241-7.

The England Innings ends at 260-7. Time to go. Our items on EBay are ending, hopefully for a reasonable sum as trying to make ends meet with all these cricketing expenses is not a TMS piece of cake
