• In 2005, Dean Carroll became one of Barton Town C.C.'s overseas players. Read his diary here!

• Follow the adventures of Mick "Xmas" Carroll in England at his Live journal - Feed here

Here is a gratuitous skull graphic, representing the way I prefer my batsmen. Deathly pale, and writhing like the whingeing parasites on the game that they are. Is that clear enough? What other rules can be adjusted to make life easier for them? Fielding restrictions, no bouncers, featherbed wickets, white balls, dodgy LBW interpretations, ( I certainly *never* appeal unless it's OUT! ), flatter seamed balls, spurious wide calls.... the list is endless! And what's that 20/Twenty crap???
