Longing for the day ...

Well done, thanks, seeya

Warnie, Pidgeon, JL, Marto, thanks! It's been a pleasure to watch you compete on the international stage and I wish you all the best for your respective futures.

To the cricket team re the whitewash of England: well done, boys. Couldn't have asked for a better result. Don't expect it to happen next time. England will learn, improve and be tougher next time, just as they did in the Rugby World Cup between 1999 and 2003. They've turned up at least 2 absolutely world-class players in Kevin Pietersen and Monty Panesar, and those guys will be even better next time we meet them. I'm sure the entire team will benefit from their improvement ...

Let's hope Warney can now stay out of the headlines. Bring on the one-dayers ....
