I've never adjusted to the one-day game. (But I'm intending to sample Twenty-20 or whatever it's called, if it's going to happen again.) I did get to two excellent days (Friday and Saturday) of the Headingley test, followd by the same two days at the Trent Bridge test (but not rounded off with grub at Bryan's world-famous chippie in the latter case).

For me, seeing Henman knocked out is the only potential compensation for the footie. Well, that and the fact that I put a tenner on Portugal at the start....
