For years, top ex international Boycott has reacted in his commentaries to poor play, especially bad bowling, by informing TV viewers and radio listeners that 'my mum could score runs off that bowling'.
Well now, she's going to get her chance. With all the recent talk about the Spirit of Cricket, now, 'the Spirit of Mrs B' will be utilised to help England in their Ashes battle.
Although Jane Boycott (or her spirit) is in the England set-up for cricketing reasons, team England will utilise here abilities in the area of food and drink.
