First and foremost I am a Celtic football fan and have had that pleasure for over 55 years.
However, there is also a part of me that enjoys the sound of "leather on willow". This stems from the sojourn in Mother India when volunteering at Mother Teresa's in Delhi.
My political Nationalist tendencies do not preclude my support for our near neighbours in England, when they are involved in a test match with the possible exception of matches against India.
The 2nd test then against the Windies better improve from an England perspective as they're 3 wickets down before there's a century on the board.
Pleasure then, when despite the Corona virus pandemic; England and the West Indies have resumed test cricket albeit without the fans. My support for England undimmed by the political gulf at present though!
So come on England !!!
End of day 1 and England have remustered to 207 for 3, with Dominic the "The Vicar of Sibley" on 87 and Ben Stokes on 59. That's more like it England.
