Let's see how he does in Australia but yes, an astonishing start to test cricket.

I actually think his keeping has been pretty good - few mistakes but pretty solid. He walks into the team as batsman now, no matter what happens with the gloves. I see Cox is going to keep in New Zealand - that will be interesting - not convinced by him in either capacity

Cox, is he the ADHD'y one? Seems slightly hectic in interviews.

Can't wait for Salt & Pepper to open in the ODI's against the Windies

You can thank me for that 7th wicket partnership. Fed Puddle Paws and the phone binged saying 5th wicket down. He went up for a post-munch stroke on the bed in what's now his room. Phone binged, 6 down.

PP was turning around as I stroked him and he then often flops down. I said "Are you gonna collapse like England?"

But he stayed upright and flicked his tail out behind and stroked my arm as he often does.

So I said "Does that mean the tail is gonna wag and the tail will be stroking it everywhere?" And he kept going which means he was saying yes.

If I'd kept stroking him for longer, Smith would have got his ton.

All of Creation is Holistic, after all.

I literally just turned the cricket on and we have taken two wickets in 10 minutes. I'm taking the credit for that :-)

I think he'll do very well in those conditions.
