They all had loads of fun and they're going to extend the programme for grades 6 and 7s next year.

Cricket starts at 4:41.

Primary Cricket Programme

The kids had a great time. Next year I'm going to take a few days off and assist in the coaching with the 6 and 7s.

And if you see someone on the beach or park around here playing with a yellow cricket set, pop over for a game as I'll probably be me if I can talk HID into bringing a set home for the summer.

Well, I think it's child abuse. Kids that age in Canada should be getting proper concussions playing iced hockey.

Or for those of you stuck in Normandy, you can cheekily listen on your trusty long wave radio while wallpapering your study.

It looks like England are on top although Dravid could do some damage quickly. I must say that Henry Blofeld is in fine form.

Shopping when there's cricket on? Are you bonkers? I suppose if you've got a decent phone you can listen to the radio while she tries on frocks.

I agree with you with Anderson, he's getting hit all over the place.
