An antidote to Twenty20

Nice to see that in these days of big-hitting not everyone wants to welcome the joy of six. The Sunday Telegraph has a front-page short story today about Harrogate Cricket Club, where players have been told that if they hit a six they will automatically be given out, after complaints from residents of the houses near the ground.

Dear Patrick,

another antidote, and a warm-up for next year, here is "the longest Ashes series in History"...

"We shall go on to the end...we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, (or in this case, a rocky, sandy outfield in Southern Iraq); we shall never surrender" the Ashes. Again. Hopefully.

Looking forward to it.
