Two years ago to the day (not the date) that I hit my first international six. At Galle.
I'd retired from playing 6 months earlier due to ill health, recovered, and was making the most of my retirement by playing in Sri Lanka

This is me and my mate Ansh. He's leaving the North East to move to Birmingham so will be one of those non-white faces racists see. He's a doctor, born in India, as is his wife.
They have done more for this country than Jenrick and his ilk will ever do

I've played with Wayne for 10 years. He took his 1st international wicket in this game, and went on to take over 50 more back in England, easily beating his previous best season of 32. He has an "unusual" bowling action, hence the nickname Slo-mo Bumrah

Day 2 of the tournament in Dambulla and I switched sides and played for the other England team against the Barmy Army. I was pleased to finish off a run out and a stumping.
Later on, esteemed cricket journo @georgedobell.bsky.social described the run out as "smooth", which was a definite highlight

Game 70. A 1sts v 2nds friendly with a barbeque after. Somehow, the ground was playable despite an absolute deluge 24 hours earlier.
The rain confirmed our final 3rd place which considering we were 10th out of 11 in June is pretty good
