I say,
I's all go, as they say. I've been called to attend a follow-up pitch inspection meeting in Spain, at very short notice, and will be unlikely to post for a week or so. This meeting will, however, enable me to get to the Duneditin Conference in Edinburgh at little cost.
The subject line of this message is a quote from Geoffrey Boycott, the great England opener. The full interview is here.
Also, here is a Youtube of what can happen in cricket. In Geoffrey's day, no-one wore protective helmets. In Geoffrey's day, they just died when that sort of thing happened.
In the second ball of the following Youtube, see how close the bowler - 'Whispering Death' Holding, comes to hitting 'Iron Man' Brian Close in the face. Wonderful stuff. Closey was made of true grit - at no time did he show that he was hurt.

Mingin'! "There are more brains in a pork pie than some England players" what? Anyway, who says you have to be smart to play a silly game like that? Hotboy
I look forward to meeting you at Duneditin and learning more about pitch technology. The bliss and I walked past a surreal-looking garden lawn in Arboretum Road today - we don't have grass like that in the other hemisphere - not even in Melbourne.
