I don't know if Hutton is buzzing with excitement as Thursday approaches and the match which will settle the destiny of the Ashes (non cricket fans- goodbye) starts at the Oval. I suspect not. A suggestion has been made that clergy all over the UK pray for rain in London between the hours of 10-30am and 6pm to ensure that England do not lose this crucial Test and a bloggee has asked that Huttonian approach our Minister and the Piscie Rector at Duns to do their stuff. Alternatively Mr Fish could be brought out of retirement and sent back to the BBC weather centre for the five days of the match. That should do the trick say the pundits.
Huttonian will not disturb the clerics. It would be nice if the Almighty intervenes on behalf of the 'no hope Pommies' (as an Oz newspaper described our team last May) but surely our lads can take the Aussies on and beat them (just if not soundly) without Divine help. All we would ask is for the chap upstairs to stay neutral. Playing Warne is bad enough but playing Warne and God (no relation) might be a flipper* too far even for Freddie and the Dreamers.
* Can't baffle me with highly technical terms-Blog-ed.
