That full Selvey piece posted above is worth a read.
In the meantime, cricket goes on, Kumar Sangakarra has scored a triple century against the plucky Bangladeshis.

Is that the first triple in an innings when only one other player has passed 50?

crikey, maybe he really is that good now. you'd think someone could play this (if anyone can, Amla and ABDV can, and they're in now)

seeing him live brought it home just how quick he is. Rhino is no slouch but Mitch was another level.

shocking sportsmanship there. the test series is going to be tasty now. Wish we had a 100mph bowler to knock their heads off
― ۩, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 16:16 (twelve years ago)
Jonathan Agnew, BBC Test Match Special
On Twitter: Shocking to see that on a cricket field. Buttler was not attempting to steal a run, and there was no warning. Contravenes spirit of cricket.
― ۩, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 16:19 (twelve years ago)
Jonathan Agnew, BBC Test Match SpecialButtler run-out reaction
"Where the law was once you entered a delivery stride you can't run somebody out, it's been changed. You can't do it at the completion of your delivery swing. Whether it's in the law or not, it depends how you want to play your cricket.
"It doesn't happen very often because it's not in the spirit of the game, unless someone is trying to dash out of his crease all the time. I didn't think Buttler was doing that. It's a shame. These things do have a lasting impact.
all by a bowler with a dodgy possibly illegal action too.

sri lanka can say they did everything within the rules of the game and were entitled to do it but they cannot justify it as being in the spirit of cricket.
