This can't be a very long post, because I think there is a mouse chewing through the wiring of my laptop...

...Anywhoo, I have recently completed another match this time getting dissapointing figures of 2/67 off 18 and 3/115 off 25 (which somehow included four maidens...). However, my good mate Sungdeep Khan and I have sat down to watch the tapes of my bowling so far. I am starting to realise what I am doing wrong, and I can almost guarantee that every innings I bowl until the end of the tour will be a good one. I am really looking forward to bowling for the rest of the tour and I will do my best to keep my bowling action regular.

On a batting front, I am also feeling good. I now hold my bat at the bottom of the grip (nearest the wood) and I take a small step forward when the bowler is about to deliver. This means my timing will need to be spot on, but this is a very confident move for me.

I will give you more details on the latest match when the US scorecard monkeys get off their butts and press the magic button. Please voice your support for your fellow CW players in their trials overseas.
