Cricket fever sweeps the Merse
Cheering crowds thronging down town Hutton? The Cross of St George and the Saltire raised on the multitude of flagpoles? Unusual scenes of drunken abandon in the Cross*? Not really. England's stunning cricket success against an arrogance of Aussies seemingly unnoticed outside the balmy warmth of the Manse. The Saltire? Yes. Scotland also had something to celebrate: runners up in the World Cricket League Cup. The second mightiest of the Minnows giving them a wild card entry into World Cup proper-this April.
England versus Scotland in the final?
I have a dream.
Who would you support
Mr Brown?

Oh Yes. I should have mentioned Scotland's Rugby triumph against Wales at Murrayfield on Saturdy. 'The best win of the 6 Nations so far' a bloggee has said. Up to a point Lord Cropper. How about Scotland's performance against the Ould Enemy at Twickers a week before? The Worst Loss? One wonders.
