David Cameron caught out by Geoffrey Boycott at Lord's The Prime Minister said he loved watching the Second Ashes Test match at Lord's. It is such a glorious sight coming here: the sun shining, England playing well. But Boycott, one of Yorkshire's most famous sons, accused Mr Cameron of trying to avoid a trip to the north to watch cricket at Headingley in Leeds. "I keep inviting him to Headingley but he is too busy," Boycott said. Mr Cameron pleaded that there was no Test match at the Headingley ground in the current series against Australia. But Boycott refused to accept the excuse, pointing out that another a one-day match was scheduled at the ground. "Don't get out of it," he told the Prime Minister. In an awkwardly political moment for the sports programme, Mr Boycott declared his support for the Tory leader's policies, saying: "He's doing good. He is trying to save us as a country. But Jonathan Agnew, usually the mildest mannered member of the commentary team, was less kind about the Prime Minister's sporting abilities. 'Geoff Boycott giving me some batting tips after my @bbctms interview at Lord's' Picture: @David_Cameron He described Mr Cameron as having been bowling "pies," cricketing slang for rubbish, during a during a charity practice session which they had both attended. "I saw all these pies going down," the broadcaster said. And it was the Prime Minister. What was that? Mr Cameron replied: "My excuse is I have got a bad shoulder playing tennis. If you have got young children and you bowl with a tennis ball in the back garden, then suddenly it's a proper cricket net, proper ball, proper length, it's all a bit of a shock. I haven't really bowled for a few years so I definitely need a bit of remedial work. He said he "panicked" under the pressure of having to bowl in front of the television cameras. The Prime Minister told listeners that Boycott had not been impressed with his batting style. "He watched me play cricket in India on the trade mission I took," Mr Cameron said of Boycott. He criticised me for not having enough elbow. Mr Cameron then attempted an impression of the Yorshireman, saying ""ee "asn't got "is elbow out." The Prime Minister was supporting a charity fundraising effort by the son of a Conservative colleague, who was raising money to promote cricket in Rwanda. He bowled in the practice nets at Alby Shale, who was posting a new world record for the longest such session, spending 26 hours in the nets. Mr Shale's late father, Christopher, was chairman of Mr Cameron's local Witney Conservative Association. He died at the Glastonbury music festival in 2011. During the interview, the Prime Minister also disclosed that he had ordered an aide to bring him the Test match score half-way through a Cabinet meeting on Thursday. He claimed that Ken Clarke, the minister without porfolio, had wanted to know how England were faring against Australia. When the aide brought in a piece of paper and passed it to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet all thought that it heralded the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby. We had a Cabinet meeting and I asked someone to bring in the cricket score half way through just to see how it was going. And a bit of paper arrived in the Cabinet room and everyone of course thought it was an announcement about the royal baby. There was a great intake of breath and actually it was because Ken Clarke wanted to know what the score was because he was meant to be at Lord's. Mr Cameron joked that he might try to teach the Russian President, "my new friend Vladimir Putin," to play cricket, after he was offered a trip "down-hill skiing" on a recent visit to Russia.
