24th April
First entry for a while now, and there is much to report. We were fortunately able to tie the 'test' series with India A after a great win in the 2nd test. Another win against the hapless Kartanaka in an OD and we are currently 1 apiece with India A after 2 OD matches.
However the more interesting news has come from off the field. Now the first I found out about anything at all, was when Sudeep Popat, the snake charming leg spinner from CW Blue, was eating breakfast at the team hotel one morning. At first I thought Sudeep was merely visiting India on holiday and had dropped into the hotel to say 'hi' to the boys. But then he was at nets, participating in training. I felt inclined at this point to step in and say something on the lines of "Listen Sudeep, your a nice guy and all, but really, we dont need you tossing your pies to illustrious members of the CW A side such as myself, Rob Dauth and anybody else from CW Red, so you can p*ss off now!" Consequently I was informed that Mr Popat had actually joined the side in place of Tarique Webber, who had been sent home for dicsiplinary reasons. I apologised to Sudeep, but I dont think he's quite over it. I came to this reckoning after he chose to bowl full pace at me in the nets and overstepped by about 8 yards with every delivery.
The reason for Tarique's dismissal from the team appeared to be because of some kind of altercation with Steds, the charismatic and rather good looking member of CW Red, a team that happens to be brimming with potential male models. Apparently, Tarique made some sort of comment to Steds about his financial situation. This kind of comment is disgraceful, particularly as Steds is going through the hassle of looking for a new caravan, due to him being evicted from his current caravan of residence at the end of the month. Best wishes to Steds on finding a new home and being able to safely transport it to the outside of the CW Red's training facilities, ensuring a short walk from his bed to his profession of choice everyday.
