'I don't think it's a squad sitting there hoping desperately hoping other people turn up... Kev [Pietersen]'s just going to add to that. You never know, he might even have to fight for his place' - Graeme Swann.
Thursday
England all out 89, 17.3 overs, 75 minutes.
That comment by the Gobster was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWill we be getting these Swannviews the whole way through the tour?
oh swanny....u performed well, bt pls don't disgrace urself by talkin' on behalf of the team! :D
ReplyDeleteInfinitely prefer the Swannstuff to "take the positives" "right areas" rubbish spouted by most of the England team
ReplyDeleteAt the moment Swann is displaying a 'refreshing honesty' when confronted with a microphone or tape recorder.
ReplyDeleteThat could very easily tip over into the realms of 'irritating rentaquote-itis' pretty soon.
Yes, we've got to stick with Swanny for now - he's not jumped the shark yet.
ReplyDeleteam still reeling from Jimmy Anderson's superb twittered description of the man though - 'The camp Bruce Forsyth'. I don't think any of us will better that for a while...
Cricket Tragic, talking on behalf of the team is Colly's job these days, Swann's just the unofficial trainee spokesman.
ReplyDeleteColly's never out of the media too long these days, thought by now he'd be letting his cricket do the talking!
err, yes. Say no more.
Although I was amused by his comment that the 89 all out was "just a blip", suppose he forgot to add the words "yet another" in the sentence somewhere.
Still, finding Swann's comments funny and a refreshing difference - for the moment!
