2015 January is Go

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Well done for kick starting the year in fine fashion.

I'm so full of meds I've been up most nights. One advantage was I got to watch David Warner dismantle a lack-lustre Indian bowling attack in brutal fashion at the SCG. Pugnatious, powerful and, at 63 not out at lunch, poignant. Aussie have bred a very special opening bat.

Yes there has been some fine cricket down this part of the world in recent days. I was thrilled to be able to see most of Sangakarra's 203 in and against New Zealand, which was rather special - he has more test double tons (11 of them!) than anyone other than Bradman. A phenomenal player. The series in South Africa against the West Indies has also not been without some entertainment and of course the Australian series against India has been chockers with great cricketing moments. And with the World Cup about to get under way we are more than unusually well catered for with cricket. Loving it!
