Eyup Backwoodsman, they don't like it up em you know. .. Years ago Channel 5, having got a contract to show American baseball (dropped it when viewing figures were piss poor) ran billboard adverts of a baseball player with the caption The Future of Cricket. Nice to see them with egg on their face.

Had the day off today and been at Trent Bridge.

Can't get over excited about limited over stuff. That is a better comparison to baseball. Come out and whack the bloody ball. No opportunity to get line and length, no judicious use of the night watch man. .... Mind you, still better than rounders.

Long ish drive back to The Isle, worth it though.
