In the bleak midwinter...

Minus 5 up here tonight and four inches of snow on the ground. That frosty wind sure is making moan right now.

England just got away with a draw against the Saffers, who seem to have a conveyor belt of talent that has now produced Friedel de Wet, a bowler of some talent who has played for a couple of county second elevens as part of his learning curve. Given that a number of sides have expressed an interest in a quick bowler for all or part of next season, de Wet could be one who may come under the radar.

There's no stopping the Cobras in South Africa, as Robin Peterson's fine all round match ended in a win by four wickets yesterday, with RP hitting the winning runs with two boundaries in three balls faced. He certainly out bowled Monty Panesar and now averages 42 with the bat and has 19 wickets at 29. They have good daylight between themselves and second place and I'll be pleased to see someone with a winning mentality at Derby to add to the considerable expertise already there.

Later this week I'll be doing my Christmas wish list and then it will be full steam ahead for 2010, the year of the Falcons...
