Definitely a sofa day today & time to finish this fascinating book on Windrush Cricket by Michael Collins. West Indian cricketers & The Ace programme as well as Haringey Cricket College are all given the space they deserve. Well researched & told.

With the proviso that I’m always wrong - predictions for The Ashes
3-2 to Aus. No draws.
2 of our bowlers sent home with injuries. Oz losing 1 of theirs.
Centuries - Eng 4 Aus 7.
Six 5-fors on both sides. Little spin.
1 face to face row on the pitch & countless vitriolic headlines.
Little sleep!
