The best job in the world has gone (to a chugger from the UK) and I missed it. I didn't even know it was being advertised. Oh well, maybe next time - it is only a 6 month placement after all.
If like me, you know nothing about "The best job in the world", here is a summary of the job:…

Australia won the toss and elected to bat. What a good decision - Australia started off slow, but then steamed to a world record…
The Ashes series has been fantastic this year with England repeatedly out playing Australia. As a result, cricket has gathered quite a following from the usually football crazy English population.
