Big fat nothing......by John Shuttlewood

Looking back over a summer of banter and fun brings a warm feeling to the heart in these cold autumnal days.

I love music and always have done. Whether it was a hard rock band during my days as a smelly, dandruff ridden long haired acne faced metaller, or in a field with a load of stoned crusties listening to the sound of sheep baaing over ambient beats, or at a witter listening to pirate radio blaring out drum and bass, or round kirks listening to moody indie whilst a skip light flashes away in the background, I have always found that life is much better with a soundtrack.

Which is why I am very excited about a new 4 piece male soul combo that have been regularly appearing on my televisual set during the ad breaks. You may well have seen them. They are called ‘The Cashbacks’ and seem to do impromptu gigs popping out of nowhere in a whole host of scenarios involving the use of a credit card. My favourite scenario is when they emerge from the swimming pool wearing their bright blue jackets singing ‘BIG FAT NOTHING’. Which got me thinking of other scenarios they could appear in, and that turned to cricket related scenarios.

Picture the scene, you’re trudging off back to the Lincoln road pavilion from the wicket after going for a duck, preparing to receive catcalls from Tilley when…..

……. BIG FAT NOTHING!! YOU AINT PUT RUNS ON THE SCORECARD. BIG FAT NOTHING. BIG FAT NOTHING. BIG FAT NOTHING.

But which Rosaneri batsman would this be most appropriate for? Which player has amassed the most amount of ducks this season?

The answer will be revealed at the up and coming end of season dinner. I wonder how much ‘The Cashbacks’ would charge to attend the dinner and dish out an award?
