Apologies ladies and gentleman. Due to a faulty cable, which is flickering into life just long enough for me to post this message, the cricket blog cannot be provided today.
Back up and running at Canterbury on Friday, all being well.

Was the cable supplied by a groundsman from Hampshire?

Or is it the same cable that services the electronic scoreboard at Edgbaston?

I wouldn't have believed that the failure of one relatively small cable would cause such MASSIVE inconvenience.
It was a day of unremitting effort trying - and always failing - to find a solution.
And then at 4pm I went into the gents in the RES Wyatt Stand and the soap dispenser dispensed its pink contents not, in traditional fashion, downwards into the hands but straight ahead on to the black shirt. I looked like I'd gone ten rounds with the Phantom Flan Flinger.
This cricket-reporting malarkey is not without its stresses y'know.

My mother taught me that there is one secret solution to removing pink soap from the front of a black shirt, one that I've never forgotten.
She would, without hesitation, put it in a washing machine.
Hope that helps Brian. Have a nice time in Canterbury, and please update us on the condition of the new lime tree.

Will do Mrs T. Cable restored and ready for Canterbury.
Sadly, I can't afford a washing machine.
We've always been poor. When I was young, one year things were so tight that at Christmas mum and dad gave me an empty box and told me it was an action-man deserter.

Did you fall for that every year?

Halford. I'm quite glad you've had a faulty cable because it's given us a few days without having to hear that Action Man gag for the 1007th time..........
