Do not despair all you loyal England cricket fans out there. The tour of India may be practically over already but an England cricket team has been victorious recently. Yes, a team representing England, made up of first class cricketers from the English county game, was successful in its challenge for the 2008 Hong Kong Cricket Sixes trophy.
And they beat Australia (OK, Young Australia?) in the final on the very last ball of the innings.
After England's performances in the rugby league world cup and against Australia in rugby union at the week-end it is good to know that we can 'Save our Gracious Queen' and country by proudly parading the trophy around the streets of good old London town (surely there will be a parade?) on the glorious return of the all conquering heroes led by the magnificent Ashley Giles.
Who says we are rubbish at Sport? ....
Oh, hang on a minute we're playing the old enemy, Germany tonight at football with half our first choice players missing!! Get the excuses in now. Watch this space for match report tomorrow.
