So today was the final of the World Cup, which had been very poor defence by the defending champions England, just managing to scrape through to qualify for the Champion trophy in two years’ time. We can only play on flat wickets.

The final was between the host India and Australia, once again Australia triumphed thanks to another 100 in a final this year by Travis Head.

I had entered the ICC fantasy cricket competition and my goal was to finish in the top 10% of the people taking part.

I finished 11,247 out of 508,200 teams with 20,362.0 pts, winner was on 25,868.5 pts. So I made my goal.

Took part in a survey regarding the ICC cricket website and mobile app.

Hopefully my response will have impact on their website as it does need some updating.

This afternoon, I filled out a survey in regards how we move forward to promote equity, diversity and inclusion in cricket.

This is so important after all the scandal around the sport this year.

I have to admit, I miss the days from Chelsfield Exiles, as with any club, there were always issues, but the group that played on a Saturday and afterwards were a wonderful bunch of people and fun to be with on and off the field.

Today was the final day of the county championship, Kent game ended in a draw.

I was on Cricinfo website and they had put live commentary on the Nottinghamshire v Middlesex match that was still playing and would decide if Kent or Middlesex were relegated.

I sent a comment in and it was posted. I actually sent three in and they were all posted, this first time for a few years that I had comments posted.

This afternoon, I enter the Lords ticket ballot, for test matches next year.

I hope I have better luck then for this year. Fingers cross.
