It’s nothing to do with my own life, everything is hunky dory there, but the English cricket team on the other hand is in a deep crisis. England have slumped to a new low in their tour of Australia being beaten by a massive 9 wickets in just under 25 overs. The English batting collapse was nothing less than monumental. Only one Englishman Ian Bell made it past 20, and he only managed 35 runs. Mal Loye got out cheaply again for only 9 runs, seems that he hasn’t lived up to his early promise. Judging by the current standard of English cricket, we might as well not bother going to the world cup! I know that England are down some key players, Marcus Trescothick, Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen, but you would still expect the backup players to be better than what they have been. England look demoralised even before a ball is bowled, they have no self belief, if they don’t believe they can win, what’s the point of playing the game? A massive rethink in the England camp is needed!
In my own (e)life things are going well, I think I have completely fallen for the woman that I have been e-dating. I know in reality that it’s unlikely to work out because of the huge distances involved, but I would love for it to work out somehow, she has expressed a desire to come to the UK which gives me some hope. She really makes me happy, I don’t let people get too close, I usually keep people at arms length in an effort to not get hurt again, but I get a really warm feeling when I talk to her, I feel like I could talk for hours with her, infact I did, she couldn’t sleep so she called me up and we chatted for best part of four hours. She is almost the opposite to me, she is very expressive, impulsive and up front, which compliments my personality which is more laid back, level headed and logical, I will be trying to get events wrapped up as soon as possible tonight in work so I can get home to speak to her, I really wish that I could afford to call her myself, but that isn’t possible at 16 pence per minute, which isn’t much but I would end up talking to her for hours and those 16 pence’s soon mount up. I am contemplating buying her a microphone so we can chat online easily for no money, but she doesn’t want me spending money on her, but I feel guilty when she calls me for hours on end, which must cost a fortune calling me from a mobile!
