The ever splendid Alex Massie writes about a Wodehousian Cricketing XI. Please do go and have a look.
Massie knows rather a lot about cricket and rather a lot about Wodehouse whilst I know a little about cricket and rather less about Wodehouse (I am an enormous fan but my knowledge of the canon outside of Jeeves and Wooster is poor. I've got a few books for my upcoming holiday and 'Young Men In Spats' is one of them. I'm also considering joining this).
I'm looking forward to watching Arsenal on MOTD2 this evening. From all accounts Fabregas was absolutely amazing - he is always a delightful player to watch when he is on form.
As for the other big game of the day, well, Drogba is a frustrating man. He is clearly a wonderfully gifted player. He is, equally clearly, a total plank - to the point where his captain remonstrated with him at one point about his behaviour. Terry, for my money, should have got the bubbly today. Torres had an off-game but this was down, in a large part, to Terry's commanding performance.
Liverpool are running hot and cold this year - when they are good, they are very good. When they are bad, they are contraceptive. Liverpool fans wait, with baited breath, to see whether Aquilani can take the creative burden off Gerrard, Torres and Benayoun and whether his presence next to Mascherano will solidify the team. They wait, also, to see whether Carragher's increasingly creaky performances will lead to Agger being brought into the team.

Arsenal were breathtaking. Fab looked, well, really good, and everyone seemed to gel - showing a lot more penetration than some of those games over the years where they switch it about in front of the other team's back four looking for the perfect final pass.
Mind you, Blackburn's defending wasn't great.
As for Chelsea-Liverpool, I don't care for Drogba but he was on song yesterday night - two superb, superb assists. Liverpool only really came to life at the end, when it was too late. Even then, their main tactic seemed to be standing high balls into the box from thirty yards out.
