Well Banfield, you certainly seem to have been bottling that up for a while!
I freely admit my prejudice, though your specific comments are about as
accurate as a report by a Radio 4 defence correspondent. In recent posts I
could have sworn that I had commented favourably on Anderson, Solanki,
Butcher, Johnson, Ed Smith, and Flintoff. None of them were in the Yorkshire
side last time I looked, but you may know different. What really hurts
though is to be classed alongside RH, who I have refused to deal with for at
least the last six months on the grounds that he's not joking about his
extremism.

I would recommend a humour transplant, but you might think that I was being
serious.
