Quote of the day:

Cricket is a most precarious profession; it is called a team game but, in fact, no one is so lonely as a batsman facing a bowler supported by ten fieldsmen and observed by two umpires to ensure that his error does not go unpunished.

Joke of the day:

You're looking glum'. 'Yes. My doctor says I can't play cricket.'

'Really? I didn't know he'd ever seen you play.'
