Include me out
A final thought from Cardiff as a magpie and a pigeon peck at the outfield, a magpie soars over the River End of the deserted ground and a gigantic seagull moves in from the south looking, no doubt, for my car.
It's over to the Twenty20 now, of course, and I have been honoured with an invitation to Bristol tomorrow for the "launch" of the Midlands/West/Wales group.
According to the press release: "Hamish Marshall is having the Gladiators' Twenty20 shirt body-painted on his torso and will be available for the photo-call."
To borrow Groucho Marx's wise words: "Include me out".



I wont be there either. Still working on all those Os
They woefully underestimated how long it would take to put the body-paint on Marshall and it was all very rushed and embarrassing.
