Am I lucky or what?

This is my sitting position for the matches at the Kensington Oval, which has been completely rebuilt in the past couple of years for the World Cup. Today's match was the first on the new ground. The press tribune is fine, but gets the full blast of the sun until 10 a.m. and then from 3pm. Consequently 90 pct of all English cricket writers -- CMJ excepted for some reason -- are now a shade of lobster. The stadium is very impressive. This 3Ws stand (go on, tell me who the 3 Ws are) reminds me of the media centre at Lords, only much bigger. Usual press room hassles; internet switched off 5 mins before start of play etc etc.
