Morning Everyone!

OK, OK, before you start to leave pedantic comments about my initial post not being 'date stamped' as 9.30 am, let me remind you. It's always morning somewhere in the world!

Now that I've got that out of the way, time to explain what this blog and I are all about.

I (The Caped One) am a woman, not just any woman but one who likes CRICKET! And not just one who likes cricket, but one who knows a bit about it as well. Shocked huh? Well prepare to pick your jaws up from the floor and read on.

Short Legs and Silly Points is a blog aimed at those who don't know an awful lot about the game and would like a gentle, alternative introduction to cricket. Not an introduction that involves boring lectures on PowerPlays and LBW's and the state of English cricket but one that involves haircare tips from Lasith Malinga and diet tips from Dwayne Leverock . It's not for the aficionados who own every Wisden dated from 1874 to the present day nor is it for those who want to have a serious discussion on cricket issues. If you want that, go and read a proper cricket writer like Christopher Martin Jenkins. This is for the casual observer who wants a laugh and doesn't take it too seriously or those who have suddenly discovered that the fit bloke who won Strictly Come Dancing plays cricket for a living!
