mjd · Challenger qualifying

Perhaps it should have said Evans was 'sick' wink

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

It looks like John Lloyd is turning out to be Britain's greatest captain since Mainwaring.

Which, I suppose, makes the rest of us Private Frazer...

I had a look at the comments at the bottom of that Overend blog this morning, and there are some surprisingly well-informed comments there. Then I checked - they're nearly all written by the Count! confuse

He even managed to correct the "finished at 6.20" line. smile

There's also a very thorough deconstruction of Overend's article by JamesScotland, who I think is an AM.commer - i.e. he did well to qualify for Wimby last year (very well, in fact) but Pashanski is a slam muppet as well as a grass court muppet (whom I would have put money on Boggo, Bloomers, Josh, Jonny, etc to beat too if they'd drawn him) and it seems odd that he's getting more credit for taking 7 hours to beat Wardy than if he'd seen him off in straight sets.

I must sound incredibly anti-Eaton at times these days, but I'm not, I'm just anti all the uninformed hype that goes on.

It's official - Josh & Chris in the team, Colin & James as hitting partners ... or possibly one of them will be in the team too if Andy doesn't recover in time.
