 Dear All,

Just a quick update on what needs to be done before Friday - 

Like last time we will be having local and national reporters...if you have any preference on which one please let James or myself know asap. 

Assessed reporters should have an idea of what main story/stories they are going to be doing before Friday's conference, as one of the biggest problems we had last time was getting copy in too late. If you want to go out and get stuff early on Friday just let one of us know.

Most ridiculous Google suggestions

This may not be the most productive post of the holidays, but it may give a welcome break from Shorthand / feature writing / playing golf.

It appears the England cricket team loves to give their fans quite the emotional rollercoaster ride. They very nearly subjected us to a 7 – 0 whitewash by the Australian’s, out for revenge; but then go to South Africa and not only beat in-form Sri Lanka, but also knocked-out the hosts in a superb all-round display. However, although their job is done for now, the side went back to their seemingly more traditional style against New Zealand, collapsing whilst batting first and going down by 7 wickets with 25 overs to spare.

Ashes fever captures the nation again

It hardly seemed likely that on the eve of the third Ashes Test of the summer I would be writing that Ricky Ponting’s Aussies are well and truly on the back foot after failing to win at Cardiff and being comprehensively beaten at Lord’s by an English side determined to play exhilarating cricket.

Ashes fever set to capture the nation once again

It seems only yesterday that Michael Vaughan was lifting that little urn in front of the packed Oval crowd on a gloomy Monday evening in the middle of September; but now, four years on and a lot has changed on the eve of the Ashes 09.
