AM I not the only one who wishes that Wimbledon fortnight be removed from the centre of attraction on our television screens?

It is subject to pundits airing their views on the state of play as though we lesser mortals do not appreciate the term fault.

With strawberries and cream washed down with Champers, and dress attire, there is much more to reveal it would seem the root cause of cricket’s demotion to a lower order in ball games.

There is a resemblance to many Lords gracing the Houses of Parliament when you can receive thousands of pounds for just signing on.

Before and after any action being played on Centre Court there is a gravy train, in financial terms.

Needless to say, no doubt I will suffer from a crick in the neck while sucking on a Murray mint.

Anyone for tennis?
