Just got in to the hotel after a hard day. Setting up the 1st Day’s play for the comments and looking forward to reading up on them when I can tomorrow. I fly home on Tuesday night, so will try to catch up on the highlights on Wednesday.

Apologies for not setting this up in greater detail, but need to put a presentation together for tomorrow. It’s all go.

How do people think the series will go? I don’t know why, but I think we might nick one. I think it is more in hope than expectation, though.

Back properly on Wednesday…

Hello all,

Things have been mega-hectic, as always, and time has been precious. Apologies for not posting on the blog. I am taking the opportunity of a brief interlude in my schedule to post a quick update.

As it states above, I’m currently around a mile away from here…

10 Years Ago Now…

I will try to put up a post tonight on the test match.

I bought a cricket magazine out here, for the princely sum of £1.50, which is quite impressive if a little too official for my liking. It has an interesting piece on Alviro Petersen and his take on the Ashes (he wasn’t surprised) and the upcoming series out here (doesn’t think England are adaptable enough). Also a little bit on KP coming out to play for the Kwazulu-Natal franchise in the Ram Slam. Was nice to watch the end of the ODI yesterday with a bottle of beer that cost just over £1, whereupon, on the game’s conclusion, they immediately showed the highlights!

Keep the comments flowing, because tomorrow looks like being a very, very interesting day’s cricket in the life of the England team.
