    It tranpires that, like me, the captain seems to think that a load of this lot are milky.

    Maybe, but aren't they just going out there and executing the strategy that they've been told to do?

    Well yes...but Sir Benjamin Stokely wont see it like that. He sends them out there with the ideas in his head that work for him. If it doesn't work for them, there must be something wrong with them....after all....those instructions work for Ben.

    I think Stokes is someone you'd want in the trenches with you. You just wouldn't want him in charge.
    No idea if the chaps call him General Melchett.

    I guess Crawley is George. Opening the batting? What larks!
    Brook is Baldrick. I've got a cunning plan - to hit every ball for 6.
    Pope as Darling? Promoted beyond his ability due to being rather posh.
    I guess that leaves Root as Blackadder - the hero who despairs at the ineptitude around him.

    Jofra* as flash?

    Not seen for years. Turns up and tears through the gaff. Then fucks off never to be seen again.

    * Insert name of any fragile quick.

    Which one of the rest of the bowling attack gets to be Bob? "Oh, Sir, i wanted to see a bowling attack in Australia perform, so badly" "Well, Bob, you've come to the right place, a bowling attacking has performed this badly in Australia since Steve Harmison, high chief of all the Geordies, turned up at the Gabba and aimed his first ball at the MCG".
