Sorry never put the 2 and 2 together. I just hope you are not the blond guy with the long hair that always seems to be the leader. Must say I could think of worse things to be doing. (tu)

Nope, that's Vic. We used to call him Jimmy after Jimmy Saville but I suspect that will change now. But funnily enough in my younger years I did have long, blond hair The BA is essentially a travel company and they used to pay for Vic to go, I think they do so less now and thus you are likely to see less of him. And you are right, there are a lot worse things one can do, had a fabulous decade! (

Thanx Englander, yes I am back at the salt mines.

For the Saffer fans among us, of which I am totally unashamed to be a member, here's something I lifted from an article by Harsha Bogle that makes my cricket-loving heart sing:

"If everyone is fit, South Africa will play Graeme Smith (8569 runs at 49.53), Alviro Peterson (1387 at 40.79), Hashim Amla (5323 at 50.69), Jacques Kallis (12980 at 56.92 to go with 282 wickets at 32.57). AB de Villiers (5894 at 49.11), Francois du Plessis (293 in two Tests), JP Duminy (789 at 37.57), Robin Peterson (194 at 24 and 20 wickets at 33), Vernon Philander (267 at 21 and 67 wickets at 17.98), Dale Steyn (834 at 14 and 299 wickets at 23.79), and Morne Morkel (649 at 13.8 and 164 wickets at 30.20)"

{disconsolate expression crosses manly visage}...I thought it was only me that made your heart sing {sob}

Aaaah Magi, sorry! You know you have always been top of the chops with me, ducky, ever since I shook a school ruler at you.

Just...

Big congrats to England and its supporters for winning the match and the series in India.

Thanks Mav (tu)

Loving the confidence regarding the series win considering there is still one to play...

Of course Eng will win the next match! I don't see that India have any of the answers to the questions the last match raised. (Bit of a pity, actually, as the best matches are the close ones, but there you are.)

@Englander
Were you in the touring party to SA a coupla years ago - over the Christmas period?

Found Englander....
