Appear to be talking to myself here, but whatever. Thursday sees my first captaincy in years, as the staff cricket merry-go-round comes around to my turn. Unfortunately this is a game that's clashing with various meetings, fixtures and commitments, and today has seen plenty of scrambling for players... it looks like we're going to be able to scrape 11. However, it looks like I might be opening the bowling.

Anything could happen.
