Welcome!

Greetings all and welcome to my first blog post for The Straight Bat. I will attempt to provide brief, daily snapshots of the latest events, stories, debates and controversies in sport. Sometimes I will offer my personal opinion, which will be based on half-baked arguments, innuendo, and the sense that my hundreds of hours spent in front of the television watching sport somehow gives me more credence as a commentator than most people. Of course, I welcome contributions from readers. Enjoy!
