Join his search for juicy take-downs, great pot odds and the occasional back-door straight as he goes for glory.

I'M GOING OUT NOW - I MAY BE SOME TIME

All set. I think. Mind racing. Yesterday I finished another great book "Penguins stopped play" by Harry Thompson - it is all about cricket the greatest and most mysterious sport on earth. To understand cricket is to go some way to understanding what is to be English. You don't need to know anything about cricket to enjoy it. It follows the trials, tribulations and travels of the Captain Scott XI in their quest for world domination (or not). We shall speak later - hopefully much, much later.

Hit them for 6 Simon :-)... Hopefully it turns out to be a rerun of the Timeless Test!

All the best,
Dees

Best of luck, No red cards, head butting, innings collapsing or general signs of being English (or French)- sock it to them and win that bracelet
