I believe it's the order in which they've appeared for England, i.e. the 638th person to represent England at Test level.

I saw Alec Stewart's last ever innings at the oval too (plus it was home turf) and that was a very emotional ovation that he received.

It didn't hurt that I was a guest of Graham Beck's so the wine flowed quite literally freely all afternoon. Thank you brother mine for falling ill that afternoon and sending me in your stead!


Surely even Eng 'from the jaws of victory' land can't lose the ashes from this position.

Ok, so, cricket's not really my thing, but every man I'm related to in any way loves it, so yesterday I thought I'd try and get to grips with this (amazing what a girl will do instead of studying)


So, let me see if I've got this, if we get them all out we've won and the only way they could win is by staying in until the end of Monday, scoring, ummm, 400 and something or if it rained from now til Monday evening.


Well, even I'm a bit excited by that!


ps - I'm not teasing by the way, I really am exceptionally dim about sports and it took me a good part of yesterday to figure that out.

    • James  may have initiated the boards but there would have been a group of people who would have taken in turn to keep boards up to date. When locks and boards were vandalised  it took some while (around 2 years) for the council to repair/replace and many of the group who maintained them, moved/died. I know James was not seen so much in ED due to  family  illness/bereavement  and I believe he also changed his job.
