BLOODY HELL FIRE!

What a last half hour. I fear Petr Cech may never be the same again.

Started to fall asleep watching the US Open, saw Lee Westwood returning to his usual putting form (i.e. hopeless) to let Tiger back in it after Tiger's shocking first two holes. On waking I see there is a playoff.

There was some cricket in the middle of all that as well. I kind of feel sorry for the New Zealanders. Is it just me, or is KP acting as a kind of de facto captain?

It's back, back, back!

Ladies and gentlemen, after a period Away, a period in which a lacklustre and confused Kevin Pietersen was to be heard mumbling some sub-"Lion King" bobbins about "the cycle of life" ... I am pleased to announce the return, in full health and vigour, of Kevin Pietersen's Immense Ego!

He has "invented a new shot", a reverse handed slog-sweep effort. Should it be outlawed, as it is a left handed shot against a field set for a right hander? No, saith the Kev, because "To be honest, if you're playing right-handed you shouldn't even have the ability to hit left-handers for six like I do, so no, it's not a problem".

Welcome home, Kevin Pietersen's Immense Ego. We've missed you.

Today I nipped out and bought a pair of shoes* and a bottle of white wine.
