Sorry, but we can’t keep quiet about it any more, and the folks at Bull Information Systems Ltd, which finally handed over the torch this season after performing impeccably for some 15 years, must be having a quiet chuckle – Intel Corp seems to be trying hard to back up its advertising campaign about Americans and cricket by ensuring that its computer assistance for the Beeb’s coverage of the test series against Australia this summer demonstrates that they know and understand no more about cricket than the average American: several times, we’ve caught them put an incorrect score up in the corner of the screen, but yesterday, they topped it all when after lunch, they twice in succession put up a lunchtime England scorecard from the previous match, showing Lathwell (not even playing in this one) out as opening batsman and Gooch not out at number five.
