Pietersen is a right arm off spinner i.e. an orthodox ?finger spinner?. He uses his fingers to spin the ball rather than his wrist. An injury to the little finger on his right hand shouldn?t be a problem when batting and guarded in a glove but wrapping it around the ball over and over is probably not the best idea until it is healed.


That and the constant rush of blood and swelling (in the hand!) associated with bowling long spells is probably not good for an injury either.


He is in the squad for his batting anyway.


Either that or all this pretending to be a pom has turned him into a big girl?s blouse. ;-)

After being dismissed for 81 runs in their 1st innings against Sri Lanka the following statement has been issued from the England dressing room, ?It?s a shit game anyway!?


The tearful captain, Michael Vaughn said ?What do you expect from us, all dressed up in white and sent to stand on a field all day with nothing better to do than argue about who is going to get to rub the ball in their crotch??


Kevin Pietersen and Mat Prior were last seen heading for the next flight to South Africa dressed in khaki shorts and bush hats. When asked what they were doing they shouted something in Afrikaans that roughly translated means, ?You can take your county contracts and citizenship offers and stick them up your arse. We?re not playing anymore.?


Meanwhile Monty Panesar is refusing to speak to anyone and has taken to pensively sharpening a Ghurka knife on his shin pads and Steve Harmison and Paul Collinwood have started a petition to have all of England North of the river Tees re-zoned as Scottish.

Just to keep this thread alive, even though I seem to be the only one posting on it. I feel that I have some kind of duty to do so especially with all the jibber-jabbering on that other thread about football. Which as far as I can make out is some archaic form of soccer still played in remote and inaccessible corners of the British Isles.


Anyway the following article about Shane Warne is probably the biggest case of the pot calling the kettle black in sporting history.

Anyone else hoping India give the ?stralians another thumping?


Only me?

Cricket? You know, standing around on a field all day in white clothes?


One of the few noteworthy relics of a long forgotten, defunct empire?


Anyone?


Anyone?


2 Big stadiums in central London taking up valuable ?luxury urban apartment? and Starbucks space?


Sitting in the sun all day drinking beer and applauding good sportsmanship no matter which side is winning?


Anyone?


For Christ sake people! Major supplier of Strictly Come Dancing contestants?


Endless days of summer rain?..

I did enjoy it when your prison truck driver bowled Kevin Pietersen out.


They should invite him to do Strictly Come Dancing. http://www.foxsports.com.au/common/imagedata/0,5001,5408625,00.jpg


The Bermudan prison truck driver that is not that ?Look at me I?m English.? South African (with an Afrikaans name none the less) wally Pietersen?

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
