I didn’t realise that. I imagine it’ll need redecorating now after the way things turned out. I did think Vitor looked rather more agitated than we’re used to seeing in the 20 minutes he was there before his unfortunate accident.

Thanks Kevin! That’s really kind of you, thanks for listening as always.

#cricket A chat with Warwickshire’s Ethan Bamber, who got through another long shift of 21 overs today at Edgbaston. He is, once again, modest about his own performances over the season, but will deservedly finish the year as Warwicks’ leading wicket-taker. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...
