The Reverse Sweep: Dale’s super slippers, lifeguards at Edgbaston
After a short-lived experiment with juice…

… KP’s back on the coffee.
—
KP has been a godsend for this column in recent months. We aren’t sure what we’re going to do when he goes back to cricket and stops trying to make out he’s a fun-loving, hard-drinking party animal on Twitter.
—
Or when he stops using hair gel as moisturiser.
—
We’re also worried about a loss of material when Jimmy Neesham heads home and ceases to explore British culture.
—
Sometimes they even work together, like the other day when they solved golf.
—
Without them, what are we left with? Shane Warne’s texting thumbs are still struggling to come to terms with the next wave of technology.
—
Rangana Herath’s extraordinary fitness is what allows him to keep things moving along.
—
You will never know. Herath would never lower himself to a 2k time trial.Somewhere in the world there is always a cricketer complaining about air travel. Even if it’s a part-time cricketer.
—
Umar Akmal’s Twitter account is essentially a prolonged paean to Umar Akmal. He is king of the selfie. To give you some idea, this is the kind of thing you can expect from him pretty much daily.
—
However, he’s jumped the gun in attempting to become the latest to deliver an in-flight selfie for us.
—
You’re not fooling anyone, Umar. That’s an airport, not a plane.Much the same mistake was made by Shoaib Malik.
—
No point trying to distract us with that aeroplane emoji, Shoaib. That’s clearly a bus.However, for all those who say Umar never learns from his mistakes, think again.
—
Great fun. Sitting in chair pointing a phone at oneself is pretty much the most fun a man can have.
