Ashes quiz. Only 13/20, but that's better than 86% of others, apparently.

Started off like a house on fire - the ones with the real cricketing questions I got mostly right - and went rapidly downhill towards the end. 11 only - better than 83% it reckons.

It's the second. Bangladesh's Taijul Islam took one last year.

Could you imagine picking him up and taking him back to London. Or him getting on the bus there and sitting next to you.

"Are you....."

"yes..."

I would have gladly taken him to London. When I was about 15, me and a couple of mates used to train with an American Football team in Haseley, a few years before I started playing 'soccer' there, and got stuck ourselves, as none of us had arranged a lift home. No mobiles those days, so we had to knock on a door and use a land line of a villager, and ask one of our parents to pick us up.
