51allout puts its serious hat on after coming across yet another supposed cricketing authority calling for Ian Bell’s head.
A look back over the T20s.
The main topics this week included playing Radiohead at T20 matches, loving Jos Buttler and Luke Wright and boldly predicting South Africa to beat Pakistan. Plus the Australia vs. West Indies series gets an almighty kicking for basically wasting everyone’s time.
