Another morning spent looking up what the BBC was slyly alluding to with regards to off-pitch behaviour from the England cricketers in Australia (first Brydon Carse's casino winnings being blown about outside, now Duckett being so drunk he didn't know who or where he was).

Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?
