NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Sporting Greatness


I'm not a huge cricket fan, but I enjoy watching sport, any sport, being played out at the highest level. And it seems that the England cricket team is just that at the moment. And today they declared at 710-7 with Alistair Cook (see above) scoring a quite reasonable 294. I can't recall a test side scoring more than 700 before in my lifetime but stand prepared to be corrected.

After the week we've had in England maybe we should take stock and enjoy something positive, even if it is just cricket!
