How dastardly rude of them. It’s just not the done thing in England circles, ending tours on a high. How dare they? Did anyone else laugh at the fireworks at the end? How inappropriate can you get?

Nice to see them win though. Me and my editor have been musing on them all day, almost praying they’d lose just to ease our final pieces. Mine’s here and his is there.

Also…why have I not written more about Michael Yardy? I’m sure he’s a terrific bloke but I’m unconvinced he should be playing cricket (for England). As for Chris Read, well…say goodbye to Brisbane I’m afraid. Geraint Jones was like a pig in proverbial at Sky…

Time for wine.

Doooh, we actually won one. Am gobsmacked. I know I have neglected the blog recently. I exonerate myself as I have been away playing and scoring. Hope you forgive me.

So England go home with a win a selection problems and the Aussies go on, also methinks with selection problems. I confess to being totally bored with this Champions Trophy though I hope the underdogs NZ get to the final. When you have no radio or TV feed, it’s hard to stay interested.

As far as I am concerned, there is little to do except grow my fingernails over the next 3 weeks in view of them being chewed off during the Ashes.

It would be shocking if Read was dropped so quickly after Jones was given so much time to fail.
