Sittin' here

I've tried to spread the good word about The Mighty Boosh before. But now that the second series is with us, my task has become a lot easier! You can catch the current and missed episodes of the new series on BBC.co.uk/bbcthree.

This weekend just gone, saw by far the best test match cricket game I've ever witnessed. England's 2 run victory has been a record breaking win in many ways, many very important ways, not least the record amount of viewers. It proved to me that Freddie Flintoff (pictured left) is the finest player I've ever seen play the great game and that England now have the ability to challenge the all conquering Australia foor the Ashes.

There were problems of course in the game. (captain) Michael Vaughan's batting stats in the last 2 tests have been a laughing stock, as have Andrew Strauss'. Hoggard has been incredibly expensive and Geraint Jones is yet to covince me. Warne can only get better as the test progresses (which is a scary thought!). McGrath coming back is going to be difficult to deal with, but the shining lights of Flintoff, Harmison, Pietersen and Giles have been enough to leave me feeling fairly confident that we'll push Australia as far as we can at Old Trafford on Thursday!
