My boss texted me at one point to say he could see me, not sure if he's kidding but I had just raised my hands in a praying "thank you God" action after a narrow squeak with a wicket

Hope you get over the jabs quick

Going to miss viewing first two sessions today through work committments - after yesterday I'm not too disappointed......

Nothing will get in the way of the cricket & footie over the w/end, except perhaps Mrs Exp - she still won't accept a sport that takes 5 days to finish and where you stop for tea & crumpet.....

The only rugger I have access to is the Sheepshaggas vs Sheepshaggas Test, may be worth a gander as there's a W Cup coming up...
