... gets more bizarre each time

(I reckon he's p*ssed)

"Jayasuriya then shows his feminine side, angling Anderson to the long-leg boundary"

"A few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in today, not sure which ones. I was one of those horrible kids who nagged my mum and dad to buy me some terrapins when that film came out. Me and my brothers used to attach Smurfs to their shells and race them in the living room. Robin Smith is in the crowd, what a batsman he was. One leg-bye from the over and a turn to backward-square for one by Tharanga. "

"1405 BST: Hello everyone. England have won the toss and have decided to bowl. Surprisingly, they are unchanged - there was plenty of chat beforehand suggesting Strauss might come in for Joyce and Pietersen might move up to three. Sri Lanka are also unchanged. The pitch is pretty good according to Ian Botham, with plenty of pace and bounce. This despite the fact it looks like it's had a buffalo and plough dragged straight down the middle. "

It's very even at the moment - just hope Bell and Pietersen can keep it going for a while.

Unlucky Bell. Pietersen got a good one .....but Oh dear Freddie...what a shot not to play so early.

Collingwood has gone as I type. Game over.

Yep, his commentary gets more bizarre with each match. I've seen him come in for some flack in the BBC's TMS Inbox too.
