It's like an old friend....

I turned on to see England at 41-3 chasing 221 and I actually burst out laughing. It's so nice to have that weight of expectation lifted.

Also, in the interests of making bizarre and irrational statements about wicket keepers - everyone else has been doing it for so long I may as well join in now - I'm backing Nixon to win this one for us.

I'm mainly backing Nixon because he has Entirely Correct Opinions About Geraint Jones and is therefore a Good Person but also because he's old, and if cricket isn't a sport for old and/or fat people, I don't want a part of it.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one backing Nixon. Ex-Kent too :-)

Okay, the Kent thing may well be part of it too. Also, I'm happy for him to be a placeholder until that fantastic county season for Geraint and the triumphant return next winter. /ridiculous optimism
