How Much Do Onions Cost in England?
Journalists had started thinking about their pun-filled headlines as soon as Graham Onions was announced in the England squad to face the West Indies.
Then they had a field day when Onions managed a 5 wicket haul in his debut innings and a match haul of 7 - the journos were going gaga with their headlines as soon as the match was over. Even before it I think.
I don't care much for Onions. Never liked them, tasted them very few times, and always try to avoid them.
The new Onions, I haven't seen, so whether he is any good besides headline potential, I am not too sure.
But I do wonder that in a team with a Cook, a Bell, a Broad, and a Swan; why is it that it was Onions that resulted in the headline frenzy?
Hell they even have a Sidebottom!
Not to mention the Flower!
What would they do with Onions?
