KP has some interesting Flower info to share (sort of)  •  PA Photos

It's important to believe in your heroes.
It's impressive to see their composure and clarity of thought.
Above all, it's crucial that they retain their dignity…
After six weeks of jungle antics - including a memorable segment in which he put forth his theory that humanity "started from aliens" - the public finally got the celebrity that is Shane Warne out of there.
That course of action only really makes sense if you continue with the diet that led to your losing weight in the first place.
What he's been eating recently hasn't been his normal diet, that's for sure.
So Shane, are you sticking with maggots, fish guts and blended rat's offal? (Interesting side point - Shane reportedly had a no spider-eating clause in his contract with the show.)
Maybe skip the shopping trip for now eh, Shane?
Meanwhile, Shane's mate Kevin Pietersen has turned into a cheesy, trite, positive-thinking philosopher. In other words, he's gone all Shaun Pollock on us.
Or at least like Shaun Pollock if Shaun Pollock didn't know when to give it a rest. Trust us, there were plenty more of these tweets. We read them so that you don't have to.
It seems he has yet to attain a zen-like state of consciousness unaffected by the troubles of the world, however.
In other locations, he is presumably fine with it.
Back in England, the county season is rapidly approaching.
This is one of the reasons why somewhere in the world there is always a whole bunch of cricketers looking less than delighted about air travel.
And here's another nonplussed traveller waiting for their flight.
There's been at least one post-flight miserable face as well.
In between times, it seems that in-flight selfies are still a thing.
Virat Kohli has also been pioneering the bus selfie.
While James Anderson has given us the train selfie.
It's like KP says, no matter where you are on your journey, it's exactly where you're meant to be.
