Suspect that Chris Woakes would be the first person to point out his shortcomings as a Test bowler (esp away from home) but what a battler - and an amazing way of to finish your career batting with your arm in a sling. #thecricket

V proud of my old dad who was officially celebrated as chair of Monmouthshire County Council at a civic ceremony earlier today. He even managed to illicit a laugh or two with his speech - one or two more than when he was a teacher!

For the teetotal Manics fan in your life (actually quite impressive how they’ve recreated the afterburn of vodka with capsicum).

Fortrose Street in Partick has a brand new mural tribute to the River Clyde.

I spoke to the artist about how the local community came together to design it for the West of Scotland Cricket Club website.

Ground #205 - Linton Hotspur v Dunipace. Not the best day to spend in the freezing cold and wet Pentland Hills but a lovely set up nonetheless.
