A miserable series ends.

A brief interlude to pick through the corpse of the tour, then on the bright-side things can pretty much only improve.


Morgan has yet to convince at this level and will be lucky to retain his place, Bell had rum old time too. As for KP.....


But there have been hiccups in the past few years when overall it's still a golden age I guess.

I think Bopara is a better option atm and before anyone shoots the idea to pieces it's worth remembering that he had a good summer last year with bat AND ball (top run getter in ODIs v India and bowling figures of 4 for 10 in a T20 v W.I.) and deserves another run in the test side.

I know it's not everyone's cup of Darjeeling but the IPL starts again tomorrow and - after having to follow England's stuttering progress on the radio - there are 72 live matches on ITV4!


First up Chennai Super Kings (Muralitharan, Bravo, Morkel...) v Mumbai Indians (Tendulkar, Symonds, Singh...)


Bring on the big hitting madness and let's hope we see the return of the Mongoose.

Got no work done this afternoon watching KP's fantastic knock of 103 off 64 balls including nine 6s to bring Delhi Daredevils back from the brink (ending on 162 for 5 after they were 27 for 3) to win against the Deccan Chargers - and he won it with a 6 straight down the ground. Really wonderful batting.

    • Did you have the same covid jab as you have had over the years?
    • Good morning, neighbours! We have around 1,000+ glasses like these from a café that just closed down. Not sure if anyone would like to keep some before we send them to charity. Please feel free to come and pick them up at 22 Upland Road, SE22 9EF anytime before 31st Oct😉    
    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood.
