I dreamt about Phil Salt last night.

I bumped into him in Tesco. He was dressed in full T20I kit. After a brief chat, he asked what his autobiography should be called.

After a long discussion, we opted for 'A Man For All Season(ing)s'.

I just woke up quite happy with that ๐Ÿ˜€

I am really looking forward to chatting to Dean Wilson at 7.30pm today about the book he wrote with Dave 'Syd' Lawrence, which was published shortly before his passing.

Any questions for Dean, or memories of Syd, please reply below ๐Ÿ‘‡

โ€œThe final result notwithstanding, this is turning out to be a transformational series for Indian cricket, and one that gives immense hope for the future of the format in India.โ€œ

My take on the tour for India thus far including the Lordโ€™s Test & the future.

Lord's could be the pivot that India needed
The Third Test of the Eng v Ind 2025 series was more than just a match โ€“ it was a statement of intent, resilience, and rising potential.

Doing my morning bike machine workout was very hot work this morning, but I did it and set a new PB. HOLY MOLY ๐Ÿฅต
When they do those stats about how much an average wedding costs, do you think they'll include the ยฃ35 million #JeffBezos has spent on his?
Ben Duckett is a great example of picking a player slightly too soon and allowing him to go back, work on his game in county cricket, mature and return to the side knowing what standard is required.

Graeme Swann, too.

England don't look back at discards enough.

People keep saying IF India had held more catches, IF Bumrah had not bowled no balls, IF IF IF...

But they didn't and he did.

IF Harry Brook hadn't played a daft shot on 99, if Woakes wasn't undercooked, IF IF IF...

A cricket scoreboard does not include IFs

It is always lovely to have books sent to me to review and for podcast guests, but it is very poignant to open this package with the sad news of Syd Lawrence's death earlier today ๐Ÿ˜ข
