I just read that.
Do you think that without an obvious and innovative candidate the next
captain might just be another senior player captaining by numbers?

A family member tells me that England need a new direction. So I
proposed Sam Northeast.

Especially since that guy Onwarden-Upwood had such a poor season last
year and hasn't done much this season yet.

You've got to admit that his selections of England XIs and lists of
useless players he recommends keeping an eye on would be very amusing
if one could be bothered to savour their ridiculousness.

You know there actually is another Henderson, or another cheek of the
same arsehole.. I noticed a piece about a recent double murder in
Sligo. After listening to the commentator giving his views I realised
that there is a variety of Englishman (as they call themselves) that
actually is beneath contempt and deserves to be ridiculed, bitterly
hated and called out and exposed at every opportunity.
Just like Henderson he calls himself a historian and writer and like
Henderson he deals in dreamed up history that bears no resemblance to
the truth about anything that actually happened. Look him up for a
laugh. His name is Simon Webb.

He has a youtube channel, called Debunking History. I don't think he's
as bad as RH, some of the things he says have been researched. He's
admitted that his writing carreer was based on those magazines you see
by the supermarket checkout. Sometimes he makes me laugh, sometimes he
just annoys me. Quite a bit like RH then.

"We're"??

As Alan McGilvray once memorably told a young up and coming commentator (Brian Johnson) "you never use the word "we" in commentary, that implies bias".

And, heaven forbid, you're not biased are you Mike?

Stokes is the obvious choice but you'll end up doing a Botham with him.

And England can hardly afford to stifle their most potent player these days, they'll struggle to beat Accrington Stanley 2nd X1...........

That's him, he looks as bad as he sounds. Kind of lad who thought the
post war boys comics were real and expected it all never to change.

Dearie me you can find plenty of researched articles on my blogs. Here are a handful to get you started:

https://livinginamadhouse.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/iq-and-society/

https://livinginamadhouse.wordpress.com/2012/04/20/free-markets-and-free-trade-elite-propaganda/

https://livinginamadhouse.wordpress.com/2011/07/25/against-ideology/

https://livinginamadhouse.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/men-morality-and-international-order/

And here is a piece of satire appropriate for this day:

https://livinginamadhouse.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/men-morality-and-international-order/
The Universal Terrorist God
Robert Henderson

God, who goes by a large number of aliases including Yaweh, Jehovah, Allah, The Almighty and Him, has been on the run since the beginning of time as men have sought to bring him to book for his innumerable terrorist actions, including all “natural” disasters, wars, famines and diseases.

All attempts to treat with God over many millennia have failed and the question is being asked “Does God have any coherent or realisable demands of Man?”

Taxed with this problem, the Rev Dr I M A Believer said “God’s ways are mysterious and not for Man to question. It is all part of His divine plan”.

An unbeliever, Mr Thomas Doubting, would have none of this. “One only has to look around the world to see what a nonsense this God idea is. Christians say he is a loving God, a good Shepherd and Muslims say he is all merciful, while Jews have believed just about everything about their God at some time in the past 3 millennia, including believing He has chosen them as His favoured people. Try squaring that with these disasters.

“As for the rest of religion, you run the gamut from folks believing that rocks and rivers have spirits in them to the likes of Buddhists who say there is no God, merely states of existence. If all that’s sending a coherent message to Man I’m Charlie Chaplin.”

A UN spokesman said: “Vast attempts have been made to appease God by slavish worship and sacrifices over the past millennia, but all that has achieved is to show the truth of Kipling’s verse ‘Once you have paid the Danegeld/You never get rid of the Dane’. Our major problem is that it is not clear what God’s demands are as He sends out so many conflicting messages. It is unclear whether he has any rational or consistent demands. ”

Dissenting voices have also been heard regarding the causes of “acts of God”. A structural engineer Mr Al Putogether blames the series of disasters on poor design. “Just look at how poor the construction of Man is. He can only walk upright by adopting a permanent falling tactic and women often die in childbirth because the baby’s head is too big for the mother’s pelvis. And what about viral diseases? They just mutate all on their own. Then there’s the big one: genetic coding which is mistranslated to give mutations. And is it beyond the wit of an omniscient being to avoid the ageing process and senile dementia? Clearly no one is in proper control.”

Mr Putogether was backed up by a fellow engineer, Mr Lou Tension. “Everything we see is jerry built. You’ve got a planet where molten lava keeps breaking through the crust. What kind of safety cover is that? Hasn’t God heard of negative feedback? Then there are these damned tectonic plates which just keep slipping about and causing earthquakes. And what about the oceans and the weather? Where’s the quality control? Where are the safety fail-safes? How come we have tidal waves and hurricanes? What’s so great about things like the last Asian tsunami? Jeeez… that was just a low technology action using nothing more than crude earth shifting and water. Hell, I could come up with something better over lunch!”

Following the media claim that God is in frequent communication with the one-time President of the United States of Moronica, George W Moron, ex-President Moron said “God talks ter me plenty but he don’t tell me everythin’ an’ sometimes he tells me things I ain’t ter tell anyone else.”

Retired British PM Margaret Thatcher told BBC News that “Terrorists must never be appeased, even if they are God”.

Questioned on the latest “act of God”, all religious leaders said it was either “His mysterious will” or the consequence of “bad karma”.

A Papal spokesman issued a statement denying that the Catholic Church was merely “the temporal arm of God” and had no control over God’s actions. However, the spokesman refused to condemn God and said that His actions must be put in the context of Man’s past behaviour. The spokeman ended by emphasising that “He will not be going away”.

Last night the digital TV station Angelspan broadcast a message they claimed was from God: “My will be done, whatever it is, and ‘acts of God’ will continue until it is done!”

Angelspan said that the message had been left in the mind of their political editor by the well established God method of transmission: Revelation.

Experts are agreed that future acts of terror by God were certain, it was a case not of whether but when.

Well, Swift was educated at Trinity in Dublin and became very
successful. Henderson didn't attend Trinity.

I like the Trinity lecture courses. The lecturers give each other a
proper grilling in the debates.

Of good English stock

Jonathan Swift was born on 30 November 1667 in Dublin in the Kingdom of Ireland. He was the second child and only son of Jonathan Swift (1640–1667) and his wife Abigail Erick (or Herrick) of Frisby on the Wreake.[4] His father was a native of Goodrich,
