I'd forgotten just how boring the opening ceremonies of sporting events are. Tonight's Olympic opening was a classic of its kind, a sort of It's A Knockout with fireworks.
But it didn't come close to the "quite pathetic" (in Wisden's words) opening to the 1999 Cricket World Cup at Lord's. As the great Frank Keating put it:
This year's cricket World Cup at Lord's had a calamitous opening ceremony, if it could thus be called: three or four damp- squib fireworks being rained on and - "testing, testing, testing" - a microphone for Tony Blair which did not work. Most village-hall jumble sales could have done better than that.
