Always do what the opposition least want you to do - which in this case means pick Ramprakash (the Oval atmosphere will be electric if they make this imaginative choice). Unfortunately Ashley Giles is one of the selectors and (a) Ramps slagged him off at the start of the season and (b) he's biased towards his Warwickshire boys, which means Bell and/or Trott is certain to play.

A bit like Tom Watson at this year's Open, fairytale stories don't always come true. Still, perversely now that England are firm underdogs maybe they have a chance.

Loving the weird David Brent theme in the Guardian obo today


"David: Under "Strengths"... you've just put making up the numbers.

Ian Bell: Yeah.

David: That's your job though, that's, that's just-

Ian Bell: - Mmm. [nods]

David: No, Ian. What. I was sort of looking for your skills within your job. So is there anything else you could have put there?

Ian Bell: [shrugs]

David: Nope. Okay. Umm... Under "Weaknesses" you've put batting."


bit unfIr as the boy is doing well today

    • Another recommendation for Maurice Hinds! He installed a new handbasin in my small bathroom, and did a lovely job.  I would absolutely recommend Maurice for plumbing work.  He is very helpful, friendly and did a tidy and efficient job, and his work is reasonably priced. 
    • Sure. He is ideological driven on many things. He was the person that defended the blanket CPZ policy because he believed that 'if you asked most people in southwark if all parking should be paid for, most would say yes'. A completely unfounded belief not backed by any evidence. In the real world, that policy caused significant local electoral damage for some councillors. I personally see his disillusion with the Labour Party as one of his idealism vs the reality of governance. He will probably be much happier with the Greens.
    • Arguably, as regards local needs for free(er) flowing traffic and some acknowledgement of expressed wishes he hasn't been. The 'active travel' and particularly the cycling lobby seems to have got far more of his attention than others. In that aspect, at least he would seem to be far more likely to be happy amongst the avowedly private-car hating Greens. A perfectly reasonable stance, of course, but one which certainly doesn't qualify as 'arguing for local needs'. He hasn't, equally, been very obviously supportive of those, his direct constituents I believe, who have been less than enthusiastic about Gala.
