And just like that, we’re back. Yup apologies for the break in transmission, nope we weren’t lying low to avoid Sports Council sponsored hitmen, or dodging sordid tabloid spurting revelations - and rumours that we had anything to do with organising that latest rumble in Tibet (Chinese Military 30 – unarmed Tibetan protestors 0) are absolutely wide of the mark.
Nope unfortunately the truth was - like England’s top order batsman - a touch more prosaic. It was the flu wot done it and as were lying stretched, feverish and sweaty and labouring under the influenza cosh, we could have sworn we saw England triumph in the cricket, the rugby and the Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton took the chequered flag in Aussie land.
What’s that? Feverish hallucination? None of that actually happened? Nope? Must have been the delirium then...
Still, great news greets us on our return to what laughingly passes for sanity around these parts with news that Cricket has struck back against the evil monetary empire of the Indian Premier League with home boards now able to veto any individual player’s involvement in the IPL.
Awesome news and a real dose of much needed bulwark against the fairly pointless cash cow which was threatening the integrity of our beloved and most holy Test cricket.
It’s just what the doctor ordered.
