England are number 1!

Not that surprising but fantastic nonetheless, England have climbed to number 1 in the Test ratings.  Strength and depth have been the watch words of our squad.  How nice to be able to chop and change the team to cope with injury with no loss of quality.  Alastair Cook once again proving a world beater, shame he just missed the triple century.  Oh to be disappointed on 294!

A welcome return to Broad and Bresnan, it must be a hard (but happy), job to be an England selector at the moment. I wonder how many days the next test at the Oval will last.

In the meantime I am off for a mini break, (hopefully with benefits), to Bristol and Bath this Wednesday and Thursday.  It will be nice to catch up for old friends and maybe make some new ones……
