Long time no write

Apologies to the millions who keep visiting this site - have been AWOL, caught up with work, family, kiddo and general inertia - in the reverse order. While I was away, lots happened in the cricket world - India lost the Test series in SA after threatening to make a fist of it with a historic win to only chuck it all away ridiculously, then won two ODI series at home, and promptly did the unthinkable and got knocked out of the World Cup well before time. DISASTER!

Well, shit happens - but nothing more depressing than Woolmer's death. How SAD is that? I truly hope that the culprits are caught, and then made to suffer a horrible death themselves.

The World Cup was a major fiasco in many ways - and not only because India didn't bother to turn up. Read Simon Barnes for a wonderful summary of what went wrong.
