The problem with England cricket
is that the middle order, while being highly praised and excellent players, are distinctly average. Andrew Flintoff hasn't doen anything to prove his worth as an England player since 2005, Kevin "I'm only in an England Shirt due to the racial quota in Sarf Effrika" Pietersen might be natually gifted but has no patience in the crease, and Paul Collingwood (while a great player) is really, really, hit and miss. Add to that the fact that Ravi Bopara can get tons against weak opposition, but the minute he comes up against a sustained bowling attack he crumbles, and you've an England team that will be praying - praying! - for rain.

Still, we might bowl well, there appears to be some real movement in the wicket that should favour Anderson and Onions.

/cricket bore.

It would only be a pot and kettle situation
if he was accusing you of being a) Satan, b)an anti-semite or c) Satan the anti-semite.

What if he is actually
accusing him of being an actual pot or kettle??

funnily enough
I do hold the opinion that DiT is both a pot and a kettle.

He can't be both
you'll have to pick one... unless he's some sort of pot-kettle hybrid?

Well, I don't i'd want him in the kitchen
maybe in the shed. The sort of thing an old man uses to boil up his old fag ends to make nicotine insecticide.

I would've hoped that you would have noticed that prior to this
a brief moment to clear something up and forgive me for being dense up till now, are you in fact the inestimable DiT's future spouse?

I am she
Blimey, Columbo's got nothing on you! ;)

it is difficult making connections between people you've never met
when you've not read anything they've said about being a couple :-P

plus, I kind of thought that DiT was a big bender.

He is a big bender... but he's my big bender! :)
