Whilst we were selecting the blogs that would feature in this series, Yorkshire Len the creative genius behind the quite brilliant Last of the Summer Whine abruptly announced that:
“After three (and a bit) years, and a third of a million words, I've decided to call it a day with LotSW as I can no longer justify the time and effort required to write the blog for such a relatively small readership”.
Whilst not quite as gut wrenching a day as when The Smiths split up or Manchester United secured their 19th league title, its safe to say that the premature demise of LotSW was a sad day for us and its numerous loyal followers.
Detailed descriptions of the ups and downs of being an England and Yorkshire CC fan were interspersed with hilarious pieces such as a secret diary of Timothy Bresnan, Len’s Top Tens and picture montages of Giles Clarke in various poses (I kid you not).
Indeed, LotSW was everything Cricinfo’s Page 2 should be (perhaps without the Yorkshire bias), but quite spectacularly fails to be.
Accordingly, we’ve decided to feature LotSW in our Top 20 posthumously in the hope that Yorkshire Len will resurrect the blog once Stuart Broad has been dropped by England and Yorkshire have survived the County Championship Division 1 relegation door.

Thanks for your kind words, but fourth? Typical southern bias.
The hosting contract for LotSW runs out in a few days time. So even if I wanted to bring it back, which I don’t, it’s about to go forever.
I’ve been doing a Duncan Fletcher diary for the Indian tour. A bit more surreal than the Bresnan one, and not for everyone perhaps. But if people are interested: http://thefletcherchronicles.wordpress.com/
That site will be taken down too. About a week after the tour ends.
Btw, agree about cricinfo page2. What a pile of Ashley Giles round the wicket bowling.
Si' thee later,
Len

VEDANTAM: The short answer is, I do not think any individual knows. I thought this was a very big study which includes an empirical finding. It was not necessarily built to answer the question why. Pursuing two relatively very frustrating seasons, Vince Carter's obtain was made to acquire Alonzo Mourning in 2001. Coupled with Kidd, Carter steered the team to growing to be the final seed starting in the Far eastern Conference although previously they will lagged ten games behind. The start to 200506 year or so was a slow one as they struggled on 912 in their initial 21 games.
