    I very much doubt it - impressive list. I think I did know the Close thing but had slipped my mind.

    Looking forward to reading this

    Vaguely knew him when he was coach at Middlesex - always had some interesting stories

    I remember him from his Sussex days, when he was notoriously chirpy and had a propensity for vocally encouraging Imran Khan and Garth Le Roux to do physical injury to the batsmen.

    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    No - that is still Berni's fault

    Ooh, la. On your benighted, foreign version of Netflix, can you get The Test? It's very good (although naturally it sees everything from a pro-Aussie point of view) and the remarkable thing about it is that you come out of it actually liking a lot of the Australian players.

    Not David Warner, though. He's still clearly a massive c.unt.

    Justin Langer is very much as you'd expect. Scary, intense little man.
