(This will probably be the last post for a while; I’ll be off for Christmas week – so no getting angry at me.)Weather permitting, England can look forward to a solid day’s worth of forward defensives tomorrow. As I have mentioned many times, the negativity of playing for a draw is a great thrill to me. Rather like going to the toilet on a moving train, desperate rear-guards mix anxiety with excitement. “Will I get my trousers wet, or won’t I?”
England’s last innings was beyond a shambles. They transcend rubbish. They are meta-rubbish.
But enough of that, let’s have a cheery Christmas post.
The one winners of this series have been the animals. As previously reported on Ayalac, matches have been disrupted by dogs, snakes, bees and Matthew Hoggard.
Their enthusiasm for cricket should not be ignored. We should give them playing equipment and a chance to shine. Here is an England animal team:
Graham Pooch*Len Mutton
Allan Lamb
Rob (Mon)Key
Phillip Pronghorn
Jonathan Trot
+Jack Russell
Graeme Swann
Jeremy Snake
Peter House Martin
Andrew Haddock
A good adversary for the Tigers, I think.
As a Christmas treat, here’s a video of my local Member of Parliament, showing the stateliness of his ancient position and value for my tax money.
You all have a lovely Christmas. Don’t get too depressed. Drink and eat too much, and I’ll see you on the other side. Cheerio!

Don't leave out the elephants.
So I'm not the only Atheist to celebrate Christmas then.
Sorry, I forgot about the elephants. There was going to be a massive post about them. Then I discovered some cheese in my fridge.
I was suprised not to get any praise for those puns. "Graham Pooch" is top drawer.
Graham Pooch is top drawer, I'm glad you're flogging that dead horse.
