Caught between a visa and a fly

Good old Will, hard at work in the Cricinfo dungeon he has noticed that Duncan Fletcher's autobiography is presently languishing in 127th place in the Amazon bestseller list, sandwiched between a Home Office guide to UK citizenship (something Fletcher spent much of his time as England head coach trying to obtain) and that children's classic There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (a reference to Geoff Boycott by any chance?)

I'm surprised at Will's interest in the Duncan Fletcher book. Surely as a disturbingly proudly confessed Metal Head, he would be more interested in another autobiography to come out this week. I wonder if Mr Slash, of Guns 'n' Roses fame, has any witty anecdotes about being out on the lash with Andrew Flintoff?

Shame on you Patrick.

Slash is Rock, not Metal.

Although I'm Brazilian, I have always had a keen interest in English sports. This was originally attributable to my joy in thrashing England at football, but it was later crystalised when I bumped into Freddie whilst on holiday earlier this year in the Carribean.

Until then, us guys from Sepultura thought that 'Cricket' was Buddy Holly's idiotic back up band.

Fred really taught us a thing or three about partying and navigation. We've have been avid followers of English cricket ever since.

Incidentally, lay off Andre you asshole. You might noticed that I have an equally unfortunate 'Initial/Surname' combination as the great express dude. Cut him a break.

Growing up with that shit ain't easy man. Some of turn to Death Metal. Some of us turn to Death Bowling. You shouldn't diss what you don't understand man.

Well, paint three sixes on my head and call me the Beast! I had no idea Mr Slash was writing a book. Pleased to note it's in hardback and not your mincing James Blunt softcover version...
