A final word

On the current World Cup thing that I understand is taking place somewhere else on the planet involving various soccer players let me just say how much I'm looking forward to the forthcoming Ashes tests. With a bit of luck I shall have the opportunity to brandish my shiny new MCC members badge at some officious twat or other as I sail in serene state through the turnstile and take up my traditional place about midway up the lowest terrace.

I shall draw a veil over the sad news that Mr Michael Vaughan is travelling to the United States to consult with and be treated by some Knee Specialist or other. Far be it for any true aficionado of the gentle(wo)manly sport of Cricket to find joy in another's misfortune.

Besides, the English are currently having the crap kicked out of them by the Sri Lankans. Can't kick a team when it's already down, can we.

Snigger....
