Spiritual nourishment for the England cricket team

Those not interested in cricket may skip this post, and obtain alternative spiritual nourishment by reading the book of Lamentations. Meanwhile, cricket-loving priests are asked to preach on some of the following texts this weekend.

Lyth

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he Lyth he shall rise up no more. Psalm 41:8

And the Cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. 1 Samuel 9:24

Belshazzar's feast

Thou art weighed in the Ballance, and art found wanting. Daniel 5:27

A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the Root of the righteous shall not be moved. Proverbs 12:3

stocks

He putteth my feet in the Stokes, he marketh all my paths. Job 33:11

butler and vine

The sons of Shobal; Alian, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shephi, and Onam. 1 Corinthians 1:40

Where no Wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. Proverbs 26:20

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Anderson of man, that thou visitest him? Psalm 8:4


If these texts do not bring results, then there's always this one:
