There's a nice article about SCD on the BBC website - and it's especially nice for us Mark Ramprakash supporters - about why athletes, and cricketers make such good dancers.

Lovely pics on there too!

Hoping they get more cricketing totty next time too. Simon Jones would be luvverly.

True - but he gets enough injuries as it is!

Interesting article. Sure to please many of Mark's fans out there.

Athletes with no sense of rhythm will not be good dancers, however much they train, IMHO. They may get all the right moves (like Matt pre waltz-routines) and still look *awful* (bumwiggle, anyone?).

And let's not forget Peter's 'entertaining' samba. Heinous may be too harsh a description, but a good dance it certainly isn't.

I would not be able to cope!

Definately Simon Jones, OMG that would be great, though I don't know if his knees would be up for it, we can dream though.X

Kevin Pieterson? Not British enough, perhaps? Too Beckam-ish?

I hope they don't ask Kevin Pieterson to take part! I can't stand him!

I think Kevin is probably a bit too brash for this show.

I can't stand Matt's cocky-I-don't-care attitude initially. Now he seems a little more humble. Then again, if he's slated for his Saturday jive, we'll see how he reacts.

I've always quite fancied Jimmy Anderson but I couldn't see him doing it - Especially after the stress fracture in his back.

I'd like to see Jeff Boycott or Beefy

Beefy vs Ramps!!!!

Ramps would have him.

I don't want to be seeing Beefy in a Latin outfit! His stomach is now huge!

My lunch has just threatened to make a reappearance

David Gower was always fairly ... limber

Sorry Agent K!

This could be a way of putting on hold my slightly weird Michael Atherton 'thing'

I know they don't dance on their ears - but Matt's are rather large aren't they.

Now I hate myself for being a bitch

He does seem to have acquired a pair a size or two too big for his head, or perhaps a head too small for his ears

They waggle too, if you notice

(obviously not spent that much time observing his lugs but there is definite wagglage )

I love his ears! They give him such a goofy look when he actually smiles

So I wonder why Holby City/Casualty actors always make such bad dancers?

Will Thorpe was OK

And he was FAB in "Doctor Who"!

Yeah he wasn't bad actually. I was thinking of the same affliction that has struck the Georginas and Veronas of this world.
