We’ll beat them at dancing

England might not be much cop when it comes to playing cricket, but our cricketers are at least talented in other areas, as confirmed by Mark Ramprakash winning this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, becoming the second cricketer in a row to win it, following Darren Gough. Both players are ex-England cricketers. Gough’s England career was arguably the better, especially in the one day format, but you never felt Ramps really got going at the International level, despite obvious potential.

Considering that dancing is basically the ultimate in vanity exercises, I’m intrigued to see which cricketer will attempt the feat next year. Perhaps now that he has retired, Warne will give it a shot?
