Poor lambs...

...it's been a hard day.

From today's Telegraph:

"Then, proof that nothing could go wrong on England's day of celebration. Pietersen's eyeballs could endure the blazing sun no more, and he signalled to a friend on the top deck of the bus to throw him a pair of sunglasses. Down they came, like a ball dollied up to mid-off. And Pietersen caught them..."

:-D

Freddie in "pissed out of his brains" shocker.

Shock was that he managed to remain in some approximation of upright.

And was that beer in early hours
Guzzled in England's hotel bar?
And drank all night did Freddie there
With England's sozzled cricket stars?
And did a daylight far too bright
Shine brightly through those trembling hands
And was Jerusalem sung too loud
To England's green hungover band.

:-D

Slave driver... :-)

And was that beer in early hours
Guzzled in England's hotel bar?
And drank all night did Freddie there
With England's sozzled cricket stars?
And did they countenance some wine
To drink on though some now felt ill
And was Jerusalem sung off key
On pints of dark satanic Pils.

Bring me a cloth, all wet and cold
Aspirin is what my head desires
Bring me my shades, oh head I hold!
Get me aboard that bus we hired.
I got no sleep through all last night
But hold a beer here in my hand
And we'll yet sing Jerusalem
With England's green hungover band.

I'd send that to the BBC Sport site :)

Erm, no.

The somewhat hungover, tired, emotional and generally perfectly entitled to be all-of-the-above captain and members of the victorious England cricket team.
