Summer's here

You can tell it's summer when people who have never been interested in cricket suddenly appear as if from nowhere claiming full knowledge of the sport.

Guilty as charged, m'lud. I sometimes go to Trent Bridge for a one-day match, but mainly because you can drink AND watch sport at the same time, without really being too interested in the result.

At least the Notts wicket-keeper Chris Reid is making an effort to make the sport a touch more interesting, by introducing an element of boxing into the proceedings, story here.

It'll keep us going until the end of the cricket season, which this summer has been brought forward to June 9th.
