Looking forward to the Cherwell League Dinner tonight without the usual burden of last-minute organisational problems! Retirement rules!

Thanks for all the kind and supportive comments following my resignation as CL Chair; I'm sure the league will go from strength to strength.

Guess who scored a cool 34* for Horspath 4 - 12 year old debutant Alfie Turner or the old git FIVE times his age?!!!

Contrary to rumours, I will not be standing for the newly vacant post as Secretary of HCPCL and I hope Mr Tomlin's successor is unsalaried.

Great Springsteen show last night spoilt by a dreadful sound system at Wembley #heartheboss
Playoffs - crap! Best team in the Championship fails to make the Premiership thanks to injuries and dire refereeing! Up the Seagulls!
Looking forward to playing against Aussie 60+ at Aston Rowant tomorrow (12.30) - who is this Merv Hughes anyway?!

Back from Nepal (Kathmandu airport closed for 4 days as they couldn't drag a broken plane off the runway!). A great trekking experience.

Excellent - more signings for the Oxfordshire 60+ side perhaps (slow reactions a prerequisite)!!!@Cherwellcricket

Political interference 'damaging schools'

Political interference 'damaging schools'

Improvements in education are being undermined by negative political pressures, says former Ofsted chief Sir David Bell.

Given England's recent dire sporting efforts I suggest next time we play football v New Zealand, rugby v Sri Lanka and cricket v Costa Rica

Apparently cricketer Sachithra Senanayake is making a Sri Lankan cover version of the ABBA hit 'Chiquitita' - it's called Chucker Cheater!

Sunday - bitterly disappointed to discover that it wasn't Michael Gove who got his face smashed by Carl Froch - wrong smug git!!
Friday - shocked to see the Secretary of State for Education is challenging for the world super-middleweight title (hope he gets pummelled!)
Sadly the Cherwell League match v OCA is off today. Thanks to Horspath for their efforts to get the game on - their bar is open at noon!

All's good; Seagulls in the play-off places and Sussex CCC start with wins against the big boys - Middlesex, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire!!

Someone told me Ashley Giles would make a great England coach but fortunately I realised it was April Fools' Day!

Happy Christmas to all and may your New Year wishes come true - I'll just settle for one Test victory in 2014! R.I.P. Swanny.

Three more poor shots - it's too easy for the Aussies. They just post two men deep, bowl short and we give them catching practice. Pathetic.
