REVOLUTIONARY

England could host Pakistan Tests

Wickman Junior has found something very interesting. So interesting in fact that he has decided to stop official work for 5 minutes to post this story.

The intro para couldn't be clearer. Perhaps it could be more definitive now that i think about it. But whatever....

Giles Clarke, the ECB chairman, has floated the idea that England could host Test matches for Asian countries who struggle to fill their grounds, or fail to attract opposition in the first place owing to security fears.

This opens a can of worms. Bangladesh versus Kenya at the Oval. Simply: wow. The likes of Steve Tikolo and Thomas Odoyo from Kenya, whom i've described in other media commitments as the "Durham" of the cricketing world taking on the might of Abdu Razzaq. You'd get 30,000 there for a 5 day match - FACT.

As a side note, doesn't Giles Clarke look like a shabby version of Geoff Lawson, the former Aussie superstar?
