Blue Chairs Selected for England

England cricket selector David Graveney appears to have selected the blue chairs for the Ashes tour! I suspect he likes the fact that they are difficult to knock over, are not fazed by 'Aussie banter' and are untroubled by movement!

Vikram Solanki and Luke Sutton pick up a few tips from the chairs at Shrewsbury School's new indoor cricket centre. Numerous players have already benefited from the coaching supplied by the blue chairs which is said to be unemotional,undemonstrative and unequivocal.

Pat Gibson (cricket correspondent for the Times) interviews the chairs about their role at Shrewsbury School. He later said he found the chairs unwilling to divulge much information but thanked them for their time.
