South Africa v England 2nd Test, Durban.

I’m not marking many people this match because the result means it's officially discounted on the grounds of being wrong. Graeme 15 (45) 3498 Graeme gets 15 for his batting because he would have got a hundred if AB hadn’t been overly enthusiastic. Graeme had no intention of running then and, besides, had been batting with Kallis for half the day. Technically that makes Graeme’s ...

1-0 to the Engerland

A little earlier this morning, England completed victory over South Africa, in the 2nd Test at Durban -- by an innings and 98 runs, which I reckon is their biggest victory margin in an away match since 1964 (coincidentally, also at Durban).

Eventually, we decamped across the road for a bit of cricket which ended in enough time for the Queen's Message. We did our presents at that point - which resulted in some very interesting books including the latest Orhan Pamuk, as well as a Max Raabe album - and then...

The statue is surrounded by smaller statuettes of other famous Disney characters like Chip and Dale, Jiminy Cricket, and Goofy to name a few. I use the castle as a reference point for finding directions, since it's towers are visible from just about everywhere in the park. There are shows and ...

... though I’m friends with three of the players on the baseball team now, and of course he wants to know about that, too. I tell him about Greyson, who’s like something out of Ivy League Today, every cricket-playing parents wildest dream, and Liam, who I’m only casually acquainted with, but who’s kind of cool. “Who’s the third player?” he asks, because he knows how to ask about the things I don’t ...
