England v India sitting in the sun. That'll do me today.

Test match special soundtrack takes me right back to The Ashes of 1981.
Known as the Bothom ashes for me it was all about Bob Willis taking 43 / 8 at Headingly and knowing that I wanted to be a fast bowler.

Got my Northern Transvaal colours at U16 and stopped growing that year and no-one wants a 5'7¾" fast bowler🤷🤣

Late last year I was smuggled into Sudan by an Egyptian man who was doing everything he could to get Egyptians and Sudanese civilians out of the country.

I haven't yet decided whether this chapter will be saved for the book release or teased prior to publication.

What I can say is that I witnessed crimes against humanity on an industrial scale.

I saw three instances of ethnic cleansing on my travels.

I have been advised NOT to write about my time in any country that I entered 'illegally'.

Oh well.
Sue me.

The ICC has said the situation in Darfur, where some 40,000 people have been killed and almost 13 million displaced, "has reached an intolerable state".

Read the second part of this interview where I sit down with a Hezbollah fighter and discuss events in the region and he tells me that on that day, I am safe.

Rant time!!!!

The use of AI on here is becoming ridiculous. I've got no issue if people state that they used AI but when you read something like, 'OMG what a spiritual happening, this lion saved me by leading me to water'... Then you see a 5 legged lion that doesn't cast a shadow🤷
