I really hope these two arseholes don't bother coming to Christie Park on their little tour. If you enjoy journalism that sounds like it's written by 15 year old public school boys who have delusions of being comedians then check out their appalling, Alan Partridge quote ridden, text coverage of England cricket matches.

Personally I like their text coverage. It's quirky and informal.

Or, if it makes you so angry, don't....

Well some people seem to like it so it should stay, I just think it should be offered as a low-brow alternative to the proper coverage, not as the main thing. Sadly Sky's text coverage has started to go down the same route in aiming it at teenage boys and those of their mentality. If they got some people in with actual cricket knowledge they could probably include some good cricket anecdotes or stories rather than shit like 'Anyone else remember Golden Grahams?'

Indeed, it's amusing when he goes off on a tangent leading to a worried tone in Aggers' voice as he tries to steer things away from whatever Boycott is going to come out with.

Ahh, Boycott. He of the level headed, unreactionary argument. Still can't get Key 2000 out of my head.
