Theresa May compared herself to Geoff Boycott and everybody’s bowled over – 17 stumped reactions
9.
May did well in channelling Geoffrey Boycott at the press conference. Yes, Boycott was stoic and "got the runs in the end". He also bored everyone and ran out his colleagues….

Theresa May just compared herself to Geoffrey Boycott: "He stuck to it and got the runs."
By which I think she means she's shitting herself.

Theresa May comparing herself to Geoffrey Boycott is tricky when he'd run out team mates plus that conviction for hitting a girlfriend and his casual racism

I know I'm watching this in the States but bloody hell her ending that presser with a Geoffrey Boycott reference is like we are parodying ourselves

PM 'One thing you know about Geoffrey Boycott. He got the runs in the end.’ Similarly, several shits evacuated out of May’s control already today. #BrexitChaos

Geoffrey Boycott who, for what it’s worth, was a vocal UKIP supporter, has a conviction for domestic violence and suggested that he would be knighted if he blacked up.

"Geoffrey Boycott is trending on twitter, has he died?"
"No, Theresa May compared herself to him"
"Oh God, poor guy, that's even worse"

In spite of the cricket analogy, actor and writer Chris Addison felt there was more of the vicar about her than the batsman.
Watching Theresa May’s press speech back. She has an extraordinary speaking style. Every sentence sounds like it should end with her audience intoning, “And with thy spirit.”

“I’m delivering a strong and stable government”
“And with thy spirit.”
“He always got the runs in the end.”
“And with thy spirit.”
Yep. That works.
