back to the grind



I was woken up at 4am this morning (I had managed to get some sleep) by the sound of birds singing. And they were singing their little hearts out.
Now as the sun is coming up it actually looks as if it is going to be a lovely day.

Over in  The UAE it is looking to be a good day for my boys as they play their first match against Lancashire in their pre season tour.

This builds up to their match later in the week against the MCC

Jack Leaning was interviewed just after arriving  at the weekend and he looks as if he is ready for the up coming season, and looking forward to the arrival of Travis Head.


England are playing another warm up match today against Mumbai XI before their first match later this week.

They are taking on the West Indies..............not sure how that will pan out.

Rain has been playing havoc with a lot of the matches over the last week, I think it has been dryer in the UK!!!

I caught an article about a group of Masai woman who have formed a cricket team out in Kenya, they have decided to follow the lead of the men.
Their aim is also to highlight FGM which is sadly part of the culture.
These women intend to have their voices heard and are using cricket to do this.

Cricket without Boundaries a UK charity has been out in Africa for over 10 years spreading the word of cricket whilst educating against the spread of HIV/AIDS and FGM.

this is short today as lack of crickety news and also because I have lots to do.

Until tomorrow
