Even these from nine years ago are tired re-hashes from two decades earlier.

So, Gooch answers the phone in the English dressing room just as the openers are going out to bat. It’s Mrs Cook, wanting to speak to Alistair. Gooch says, wait for it.............






















“Well, he has just gone out to bat, but if you hold the line, he should be back shortly.”

So glad we can use these again.

Did you hear to one about KP, promising Cook and Gooch before he went out to bat, that he really did give a rats and that he would play a team innings this time?
