time to travel

Wooohoooo by the time that  most of you read this I will be nearly be back home in La Belle France and it will be wine o'clock ( well to be honest every hour is wine o' clock).

However before the fun and excitement that is my 'grand return' there is lots of crickety news.

1. 'He who must not be named' is out of the opening matches of the IPL because he has hurt his finger( broken finger nail more like)!!! Well he got paid to sit it out last year, so why the devil not this year!!

2.Both besty home county of Yorkshire and former besty home county of Durham drew their matches despite some valiant play. My Tykes are just above the champions of the world in the table.

3. Durham are talking about the possible link with Kumar Sangakkara amid reports that he will join the champions for part of the season. Coach Jon Lewis is 'excited' by the prospect. Woww!! I would like to see the look of excitement on his face, as he usually only has one expression...................flipping miserable.

4. Hampshire won their match after a great innings from Dame Didi's ( and Lady lainey's ) super favourite Michael Carberry. And of course every hack in the universe is now stating that he is after another place in the England team. My advice.........for what its worth........ Michael concentrate on steering Hampshire back into Division 1.

5. After comments made in the press last week by Chris Rogers, that Joe Root is not an England opener, Gillespie the Gallant has come to the fore and said that he thinks Joe is. He told Radio Leeds that he 'respectfully disagrees with Chris, Joe Root is a fantastic opening bat'. He said that the fact that Root has been played in various positions for England has not helped him to settle into any one placing.
And to honest if any one should know Joe, its Jase!!!


This is a super short one as it is stupid o' clock, but I  am super excited, my curls need twirling and I am  need to get some make up on tooo so as not frighten any small children in the airport.

So until tomorrow when I will be reporting from the other side of La Manche.

Bon Jour
