I am getting in early.
Mrs C & I planned to go over to see some Ashes cricket soon after we were married, and before we had kids. It never happened.
Our Wedding day, was during the 1989 Ashes series. Midway through the 6th Test of that series at the Oval.
So 4 years out, I am starting the plans on what a trip to England & European trip may look like.
Fly to London, take in the test at the Rose Bowl - Southampton. A few days sightseeing in London. I did that 40 odd years ago, but I was a teenager then.
Over to Dublin, I'd like to play some golf there. Then back to London & the train through the Tunnel to Paris. Take in some Tour De France, before heading down to Rome for a look. Home via Dubai & Singapore sounds good.
If I am not semi retired by 2027, I will be bloody close too. We want to do one Europe trip - this one. Then when retired a USA trip. The key being do it before we get too bloody old.
4 years to stash some coin, and line it all up.

Would be nice to win it 3-1 and here England claim to be the unluckiest team in the history of any sport in the world.

That narrative is not in the spirit of being hard done by and cheated by the weather and the bastard convicts.

Thank goodness there is no LUCKworth Lewis system in cricket
MUST PLAY Murphy
But who to drop from the team , is a quandry
HAVE TO play Warner
Ive been advocating Davy should not be in the team on English past form all series
However, in view of his match winning batting in Australia, let him, finish his career overseas, by selecting him one more time
If I was his captain, I would say "David your best form is batting Bazball, lets play shots , like you used to do."
He is trying to bat too correctly- its not him at all

You're sorted, now what does the Mrs want to do
When my mum & dad come over and say "we're going away this weekend" I reply "where" knowing it can be only one of two things, the response is always a "Quorn Cup" or "Clare Races" or "Warnambool Races" or "Geelong v Port at GMHBA"
