A few wearing the iconic quote on T shirts this summer:-"I've not travelled 6,000 miles to make friends. I'm here to win the Ashes." Douglas Jardine, 1932-33 Ashes.<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricket/the-ashes-classic-quotes-2126339.html?action=gallery&ino=4" target="_blank">http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricket/the-ashes-classic-quotes-2126339.html?action=gallery&ino=4</a>It was interesting to me after the slating that Broad received for not walking at Trent Bridge in the last home series from the Aussie media (and indeed Jonathan Agnew) that there has not been a murmur on their keeper not walking for the glove on the last day of Edgbaston and then reviewing one he had hit to 'try and get away with it' only a short while thereafter.......Our school 1st XI pitch had a pair of breeding hobbies nearby that would put in an appearance in the evening of most games to bother the local hirundines. I was never very good at concentrating in the field.All the best</blockquote>
