You know that you have hit rock bottom when you go from one week packing your case to head off to Headingley, to knitting cricket jumper tea cosies the next!!! Yes I have started knitting again to stave off the boredom.
These also double up as 'jumpers' for PH as I only have one teapot and am now getting a collection of 'cosies'.
However enough of my boring old woes. as news has filtered through that after snapping up Raul Brathwaite towards the end of the 2013 season, Hampshire have released him along with Michael Bates the wicketkeeper. They have signed Jack Bird for the first three months of the county champion ship and also signed Yasir Arafat.
No news leaking out of Tykeshire but I doubt they will be letting any of their 'champions' go ( kiss of death I fear).
Durham are also remaining tight lipped at the moment.
I am sure over the next few weeks their will be lots more news.
Amazing news came through yesterday.........................
A group of international cricketers have just played the 'highest cricket match' on Mount Kilimanjaro In Tanzania.
The teams included Ashley Giles and Heather Knight who both stood as captains.
The game was played in a flat crater just below the summit on a 'Flicx cricket pitch' ( check out http://www.flicx.co.uk/ )
Cloud cover eventually stopped play, but they managed to each play 10 overs of what was to have been a T20 match.
Heathers 'Gorillas' team beat Ashleys 'Rhino's' team. Top effort by everyone involved.
And top 'wicket' from 'Flicx cricket'
Next stop 'Gnome Cricket' in the extensive grounds of Chateau de Champions ( formerly Tykes Towers!).
OK time to pack the knitting needles and head off to Super Swanky Lady Lainey office............................bored already!!!!
