Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Didcot, Oxon, United Kingdom

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

The English Cricket team

It may well be relevant to their success, but the Ashes winning English team represented most corners of England and Wales;

North East - Harmison, Collingwood (and Gary Pratt)
Yorkshire - Vaughan (Sheffield), Hoggard
Lancashire - Flintoff (Preston) (also Anderson as back up)
West Midlands - Giles (Droitwich), Bell
Wales - S. Jones (also G. Jones)
South West - Trecothick (Taunton?)
South East - Strauss
South - Pietersen (Hampshire)
East Midlands - Pietersen (Nottinghamshire)

South Africa - Pietersen
Australia - G. Jones
Papua New Guinea - G. Jones

OK so the last few are a bit dodgy, but as a theory it's quite good.

You should be aware that the one called Pietersen deserted Notts at the end of last season to go to the much more sucessful Hampshire.

This season Hampshire came second to Notts in the County Championship and were relegated from Division 1 of the one day league after a final match defeat to guess who (who stayed up as a result).
