Fear not, if you hadn't suggested it I would have. Call it antiquated (my son does think of me as something of a dinosaur), but I do still believe in the tradition and spirit of fair play; there is winning and then there is winning in the right way.* However, I think it only fair to mention that knowing I was going to be out for most of yesterday (shopping in Cardiff with Mrs djy – I lost count of the shoe shops we went into) I did get my vote in early.

*Please note that I do not consider this to be anything like an excuse for England’s dismal performance in Brisbane. There, I believe, we are getting soundly thrashed by a far better "team".
