Blinking flip

My prediction of an early flight home for our cricketers hasn't come true. We managed to beat NZ in the last group match by 14 runs. So, we have a best of 3 match series v Aus starting Friday. Who would have thought a couple of weeks ago... England rugby and cricket winning within days of each other? That's about as rare as an aligment of the planets (including Pluto). Good old Coventry lost though, just to keep the delicate balance of sporting elation under dangerous optimistic level.
