I have got six months of no income coming up, with two kids and a family to feed. I can't sit here and look that far ahead to the domestic season. I have to travel down a road that is going to be new to me.

The South Africans really struggled to understand the principle of the whole thing. They're very competitive and they took it a bit seriously . . . because I lost, it goes down in the record book as an unofficial dead heat.

Without a massive amount of pace on this tour we've got to look at other ways to skin the cat, and there's not a lot, to be honest.

If somebody still harboured hopes, Billy Bowden - who should be in a circus and not the Elite umpires' panel - ended that with an executioner's job on Virender Sehwag.

The United States beat Zimbabwe chasing 270 in 48 overs. That will shake our guys out of any complacency I can assure you - and, if it doesn't, it bloody well should.
