Cricket test ahead
Well the Cricket World Cup is underway and just about every country is represented in this office.
There’s majority support for England but there’s also backing for India, Australia, West Indies, Pakistan, South Africa and even Bermuda
However, what a great shame that the coverage of this prestigious competition will be dominated by satellite televison. You’ll only get the highlights on the BBC if you bother to stay up until after 11pm.
However, it has reminded me that I possess a very nice new Gray Nicholls cricket bat which I have so far not used – so hopefully this year I’ll get the opportunity to dust down my pads and take a stroll up to the crease.
I was, once a prolific fast bowler, but knee injuries, age and excess weight has somewhat restricted my playing prowess. But don’t be fooled, I can still bowl a fast inswinger if the conditions are favourable. I'm also a good middle order batsman.
Who will you be supporting – will Flintoff be the man or will Ponting return to put England back in their place.
I’m eager to see which of my colleagues will pass the cricket test – and whether their team will be crowned world champions in the Caribbean.

Where has my friend the mole gone? Also waiting to hear about my case against Sammy the Squirrel. Mr O'Tang is very hopeful of a sucessful outcome.

You state that excess weight has blighted your cricket career......can I suggest you implement my steal a treat from a fatty campaign in your office and perhaps one day you will return to your former glory days!
Perhaps you would like to meet up and I will teach you to swing through the trees - This will get you fit. Problem for humans is they do not have tails but my friend Mr. Kong can sort this for you.
