Have a listen to the show

A new craze? Kind of.

I used to do this at Uni (I will try and dig out the photo) but it appeared in the papers yesterday that people are starting a new craze by lying down in odd places and taking photos of it.  Like this:

Why not do your own and send it to me?!

I had a fantastic morning at the home of cricket, Lords, yesterday.  Excitement is building for The Ashes which starts tomorrow!  If you don't know what the Ashes are, then have a look at this brief history.  Suffice it to say, that it is one of the greatest sporting rivalries bewteen England and Australia.

Although the majority of the attention will be on the men's game, the England women's team are also playing Australia.  It has been in the press lately about the incredible success of the team,  They are world champions and currently hold the Ashes.  The women's game has come a long way since the days of them running around in skirts.  It has taken years of hard work for the women's game to be at the level it is now and it's brilliant for the future of cricket.

Now, I went along to see just how good they are.  I had a practice session with them.  Turns out - very.  I got bowled by a girl.  World champions though, so no shame really.

I love a bit of cricket and used to play loads, but haven't for a couple of years and was a bit rusty!
