"It's almost Summer...

[Neb-Maat-Re]

..and I can almost taste that sweet sunshine"

- to quote the 2nd most popular song by Zoo alumni Billy Thorpe.

And when Summer rolls around, a young man's thoughts inevitably turn to.....

Cricket!

Yes, I know, I'm the only person on this board who cares but a whit about cricket, but beiing alone on a subject never stopped me before.

This summer England are touring giving Australia the chance to regain The Ashes in Test cricket's oldest standing rivalry.

And then New Zealand join as the 3rd team in the One Day series. I prefer when the ODIs have 3 competitive sides instead of 2 and an easy-beat, sorry, "developing team".

And after that, it's off to St Kitts and Nevis in the West indies in March for the Group A matches in the World Cup.

Thank you. Now I have that out of my system you can go about your business.
