While we're waiting for the main course at lunchtime, worth noting a small corner of this morning's paper.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul has announced his retirement from international cricket at the age of 41. A regular thorn in England's side since his début in 1994. He retires on 11,867 test runs with 30 centuries at an amazing average of 51.37. He is currently the seventh highest test run scorer in history, just 80 odd runs behind next best, friend and contemporary Brian Lara. A quiet thoughtful stubborn unorthodox wall of a batsmen I spent many hours watching and admiring. And now he makes a quiet exit. Thanks Shiv .
Right, is it 1.30 yet ? |  | | |  |

| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |
