Something new for me …

was hearing an American commentate on cricket. This afternoon (UK time) England played America in the T20 World Cup in Barbados. We won by ten wickets, with great bowling from Adil Rashid and Chris Jordan and great batting from Jos Buttler, who hit five sixes in one over. Considering their lack of fixtures and resources, America did really well to get to the Super 8s and especially well to have beaten Pakistan earlier. There were plenty of American fans in the crowd and their skipper hopes this will open American minds. So watch out, you guys: cricket is coming!

I've been enjoying the cricket; I keep getting messages on my phone that I can listen 'live', which I do. It would be lovely to have the pictures to go with it!

I know. All we get is little videos of stand-out moments on the live blog.
