Stupid git!

They knew the rules.

He obviously ain't that bright.

I'm gutted.

Normally I always root for the team nearest to Lancashire, but I really wanted Corpus Christi to win because of all the bad press their captain had.

I think Gail Trimble was magnificant. She was like a machine. I also think she was a good captain and team player. Even when she knew an answer she always conferred with her team before answering.

There have been many team captains who were much more arrogant and smug, and who weren't a hundredth as intelligent as Ms. Trimble.

Still that makes Manchester the winners, and they were a formidable team too.
