As the title suggests, this post is about two topics. I'll go in order and start with cricket. What a turnaround. England lost 6 out of 7 ODI's against Australia, then get on a plane, fly to South Africa and beat Sri Lanka and the hosts to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy! After the "One-Day Ashes" I thought it was game over for the Champions Trophy. No chance. How wrong was I? OK, they lost the last game against New Zealand, but who cares? We're through. And it wasn't a fluke either. Some very entertaining cricket was played at both games, including Eoin Morgan taking over the gloves from Matt Prior, and doing well while the first choice was ill. I am most certainly looking forward to the semi-final against Australia or Pakistan.
Anyway, on to part 2. Christmas. Yes, it's early, but people are talking about it and you can be sure that after all the Halloween things have been cleared from the shop, they will be replaced by singing reindeers and other rubbish like that. I've already got some items in mind to put on my list. Well, there's no harm in starting early, is there? Merry Christmas!
