https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jun/26/frank-williams-obituary Very sad to see, think he was the last one now, other than Ian Lavender. Much under rated.

Great to see that Brendan McCullum has the England red ball coaching role. He'll bring a lot of integrity, class, fun and frustration to the games. He's definitely a gambler, will always declare early if he thinks he has a chance. Hold onto your hats ladies and gentlemen.

Just read this in the news over here. Maybe a wee chink of light for Parky? https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/300550096/fully-paralysed-man-asks-doctors-for-a-beer-after-being-given-brain-implant-to-communicate

Going well, just got another wicket. SA are 85 for 6 just after lunch. Mind, we have to bat yet, but looks a good wicket down at Christchurch.

Busy binging on the Sopranos during our lockdown, forgot how good the opening titles are. Which programme for you has the best opening titles?

Take care, Abel, Bungy and all in NZ. Let's hope we are out of this one soon.

Just watching the 400m, 800m finals, and disappointing to see no GB runners in the men's finals, plus the hammer throw, shotput etc. Thinking back, we had the best 4x400m relay team, Christie and Regis in the 100 and 200, Cram, Ovett, Coe, Mckean, Backley, Colin Jackson, Paula Radcliffe, Denise...

For you train buffs, loved going around the train museum at York, some lovely engines.
