Oh, just make it up.

Having gorged on the Ashes coverage and analysis, I was going to present a best-of links to savour, but got distracted by this:<br />
<br />
<a href=”http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/robbo/4223558.stm”>Davo v Robbo</a><br />
<br />
I’m sorry, but what are the BBC playing at? This isn’t insightful, clever or funny. It’s pretty hopeless. In fact, it reads like a sixth-form radio skit. Why set up two stereotyped, fictional cricket commentators? There are plenty that exist in the real world. Why not have a head-to-head between Lillie and Brearley? Ah, of course. This is quicker. Make up the drivel instead.<br />
<br />
To compensate, I will give you a <a href=”http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/engvaus/content/story/219208.html”>proper cricket link from Cricinfo</a>. It’s an excellent piece of stats about the Ashes, showing where England had the advantage.<br />
<br />
Oh, and <a href=”http://sport.guardian.co.uk/ashes2005/story/0,15993,1570440,00.html”>here’s another</a>. Weirdly, it’s by former Goldman Sachs / Chairman of BBC Gavyn Davies, but he’s very clever so we shouldn’t be surprised he can do sport as well as write about economics, advise the government, run the largest public-sector broadcaster in the world, be a senior partner at one of the major investment banks, etc.<br />
