Simon Jones, pictured above, has been hanging around my house recently. He’s really looking forward to the new edition of the Wisden Cricketer.It’s usually a flighty, even racy, publication, so he’s hoping for something a little more high brow this month.
As the rest of the England team gather around the latest copy, excitement builds: perhaps we could have some serious, hard-hitting articles on Andrew Strauss, perchance?
Ryan Sidebottom, however, is more interested in the poster of himself. You should see his bedroom. He’s mad for it, him.

What’s this? Simon Jones has found something to interest him. An article by AYALAC! Dominating the most important page of any self-respected magazine: page 22. The page of kings.
Alec Guinness gets a little jealous of a photo that isn’t of him.
Richie Benaud reads the whole piece. Because this is a photograph, you can’t see his vigorous nodding. But he is. Well, as vigorously as when Richie moves towards a bottle of plonk.

You are mad (and I quite like that).

I wasn't sure the tone of Wisden could be any higher - it's so high already it would be like the Bee Gees on helium.
Anyway, congratulations.
Well done old chap.
Good work mate.
I am going to make a calendar of all you blog lads for next year and the profits can go to, well, me.
So hello, Mr April (or is it May? I don't actually read it).

AYALAC you cheekster! very well done. Also, nice wallpaper in your house!
If page 22 is The Page of Kings, how come I was on page 21?
I hankered after page 22, but 'twas you that claimed it. Well done. Well earned.
Oh! Congratulations. I like that the world of cricket journalism is slowly but surely being taken over by people who make plasticine models of cricketers.

Cheers all. When they give me awards, I'll be sure to mention you all.
So long as I don't get a better offer from someone who pays me to mention them.
Bravo Atheist. I shall use your new-found prestige to argue for more plasticine-based analysis in The Times. Nice touch with the leek (or was it a spring onion), too, but it seems fitter than the other Simon Jones
