Well I think we all had some white stuff over the weekend some more than others! It was bitterly cold Sunday night here and the roads were dodgy this morning. I did do a tentative ride this afternoon virtually sticking to main roads which I normally avoid but I thought it was a safer option!

The cricket was a welcome tonic and Joe Root was superb as was the Sri Lankan left arm bowler. I think India will be a much tougher test but looking forward to it.
