The wrong blond?

A colleague has drawn my attention to the similarity between Stuart Broad, the England blond bombshell who bowls a bit, and Katherine Brunt, another England blonde, although one who, to my glee and my colleague's disappointment, is less scrawny.

There's more meat to her stats as well. Broad averages 30 with the bat and 40 with the ball in Test cricket, which is not really good enough after 18 Tests, while Brunt averages 31 with the bat and 19 with the ball in six Tests. She's also won a couple of World Cups and took six for 69 against Australia last week. Is she available to play on Thursday?

I say: let them do the decent thing for England's 2029 Ashes bid, and produce some offspring!

had only ever really been heard of in Australia twice -- once for being hit for sixes in an over, once for missing a run out and bowling the over that delivered Twenty20 victory to the Netherlands. suppose he will be aiming to change that perception in the coming weeks!
