Crooks and cricket.

What am I doing ?





Just been buying a couple of new garage door openers as we had one of ours stolen from our car. Admittedly we left the car in our drive unlocked but didn't allow for the cheek that somebody would go through it in broad daylight. I came home and saw the wifes car doors open and at first didn't think anything was missing. However, when we went to go out that night we found that the door opener was missing.
We thought it odd that they left the doors open but the Police explained they were only looking for the garage door opener and the system the crooks use doesn't leave fingerprints.

So we had to buy a new door opener. But we learnt one good trick - if you are going away on holiday, turn off the power to the garage door. They may not realise, in their urgency to rob and leave, that lack of power is why the garage door won't open.

Stephen Fleming - Read an excellent British article about Fleming. There was some criticism here of his manipulation of the run rate against Sri Lanka. Not in the British press - they thought he was a genius and is with Ponting (who has 10 times the resources) the best Captain. At the post South Africa press conference he was able to quote the before and after game run rates of both teams to 4 decimal places. Kallis didn't even know the Proteas run rate.
Australia tonight so I will have an early morning.
