I've been pre-occupied...

I've been pre-occupied with my other blog; A Glastonbury Tale. To the detriment of cricket I hear you say? Well after the Test Series it all seemed to fall a bit flat - loosing an' all. I know it's the game that counts but when you're supporting, you like a positive result!

Of course, there have been the One Day Internationals. England won and Strauss was rightly lauded for his part but I can't get on with a 'One Dayer' as much as a Test Series. I mean, as soon as it is started, it's over! You miss a day and you've missed the series (albeit a very short series, in a one day kind of way). This all seems to be at odds with current wisdom (that's wisdom, not Wisden) as everyone is plugging 'One Day, maximum return, in a credit crunch environment, people don't have enough time for Test Series' cricket.

The next speight of activity for me will be the 1st Test - England v West Indies, at Lord's. Come Wednesday the 6th of May I'll be glued to my Pure Evoke flow (in a metaphysical sense you understand, I try to keep glue well away from any electrical equipment), shift pattern permitting. I do keep one eye on BBC SPORT ¦ Cricket & Crickinfo (is that two eyes?) though and do see that 'Flintoff wins Pietersen IPL duel' & 'Yorkshire beat Durham by 80 runs'.
