One day I may put a slogan at the top of this which will say: "Culture means what Brian says it means."

So: Is cricket culture? It is today, here.

On the face of it the big story in English cricket right now is how well or how not so well the England team is doing. Today England thrashed Pakistan, with Marcus Trescothick doing most of the thrashing.

But the real cricket story in England now is the new twenty over competition. Side A thrashes about like a fish out of water for twenty overs, equals one hundred and twenty balls, and reckons on getting as near as it can to about two hundred. And then the other fellows have a go, and see if they can't do better. It's all over in half an evening. It can start just after your office closes, at 5.30pm, and be all over in time for supper. Apparently people are actually coming to watch this. Presumably it's because you can watch it, and still have a life. It's a good idea, I think.

This is new, and is yet another step away from cricket as our grandparents knew it. Jack Hobbs, Don Bradman, etc., used to wear only all-white costumes. These "Twenty20" guys wear brightly coloured pyjamas. Hobbs and Bradman kept a straight bat and batted all day and into the second day if they could. The pyjama gamesters flail away like baseballers. The old guys are classical music cricketers. Now they're popsters.

Okay I could go on, and I often do, but what I really want to say is that the libertarian-inclined blogosphere needs, in my opinion, a team blog about sports.

It's okay for me to say that today culture means cricket, but let's face it, if I said something like this every other day, my readers would fidget. Hey man, make up your mind. Is this artsy fartsy crap about paintings and stuff, or is it sports?

It could be that this guy is already running this team sports blog, and he just hasn't manage to hustle up a team to write for it. If so, I hereby invite him to get in touch. If not, then whoever does start such a sports blog, I hereby volunteer to join in, provided I'm welcome.

Why? Now we're back to libertarianism and the way we spread it.

Partly we spread libertarianism by taking non-libertarians and anti-libertarians to one side and beating them over the brains with our superior libertarian ideas until they beg for mercy and to be baptised.

But the other way is you go out and find semi-formed libertarians and just give them a bit of a polish. They're already, at the deep philosophical level, on our side, but they need to be kitted up with a few more words and arguments.

And I think that a lot of these semi-libertarians are sports people. Sure, we need to slug it out with our natural enemies with things like, oh I don't know, culture blogs. But we also need to trawl for the easy people, conversion-wise.

And the way you do this is by rounding up some ideologically sound people, but people who are bored with being nothing but ideologically sound, people like me, and tell us to rant away about sport day after day, mentioning why income tax rates should be slashed every now and again, but mostly writing about sport. Not just results, and who did what, and who should be picked to do what next week. I'm thinking background stuff, about the history of it all. Strange sports, like that thing they do in Spain with great big curved soup spoons, or like Gaelic football, or Ozzie rules, or the thing that old French men play in the town square that is presumably (it sounds like it) a cousin of Bowls. The place of sport in schools, sport as a trainer of character, which great politicians have been the best at sports, and which sportsmen have done best at politics. Why cricketers commit suicide so much, after cricket. You know, spreading the net. The role of sport in society.

As I say, if you have such a blog, or you've started such a blog, anywhere on earth, and you want me, I'm yours, every now and again.

If you are fascists or communists or Democrats or something, and trying to spread fascism, communism or Democratism, fine, you've every right to be that and to be doing that. I'm still interested, but not interested enough to write for you regularly. It's got to be a blog in approximate tune with me ideologically. Any offers?
