I'd appreciate some comments posted on the site to help convince the
management that my blether actually gets read.

Cheers,

A pointless request, mike, because if you blog cannot draw readers on 
its own merits,  a temporary bogus surge will not be sustained. RH

In light of the rhapsodic response that his last link received, it is in 
no way inapposite to proffer another.

Must you be so petty?  For one thing, Holmanculus has been here long 
enough to earn a speck of leeway; for another, he is never anything less 
than readable; and, for one more, he does not fall into the 
one-trick-pony category perennially occupied by the execrable Mr Puthran.

I for one appreciate his linking me to his blog, given that I would 
otherwise have to fish through an increasingly lacklustre /Cricinfo/ to 
reach it.

   Who is Mr. Puthran?

The gadfly who did naught but post links to the trite reports on his 
(non-Cricinfo-approved) blog.

Don't you think Mike's blog will be similar in tone to his rsc posts?
I found the first one quite amusing with it's tongue in cheek tribal
chest-beating and schoolboy-ish delight in getting the better of the
traditional arch-enemy.

   Yet it lacks some of Mike's acerbic remarks one finds in his posts
   on RSC. Also since this is a Cricinfo approved blog, one won't find
   Mike referring to Pollock as "Bollocks", for instance. He will
resort
   to a degree of self-censorship in his blog.

True.  Unfortunately. On both counts.

You don't think I self-censor *everything* I write? Or that I take
into account the degree of familiarity with my overall view that I can
count on from any particular audience? I wouldn't have referred to
Pollock as Bollocks when I was an rsc noob either.

On the other hand, I can see that I shall have to improve my clarity
if SD-M reckons I was tongue in cheek about Middx beating Essex.

Cheers,

Mike

Just don't beat the chest too hard, Mike.  We wouldn't want you to

   I get your point of view. Also, in your first blog post, your views
on
   T20 cricket were pretty similar to the sentiments that you
   espouse on RSC.

   I think it was pretty clear that you're a big Middlesex fan from
   your first blog posting.
