| from what iv heard he turned up to the gorund on game day still under the influence after a drinking session the night before. he was dropped from the game, no official word i dont think whether hes out of the series.
our bowling was pathetic. dizzy's bowled too short and kept looking for edge with is bs, if you want wickets, bowl at the stumps
shall be interesting to see how we go tonight!!

If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
