The first half of the trip has flown by when you think that it may only be eight weeks until I return to sunny Northampton. My exact return date is unknown at the moment, but it is sure to be no later that mid-March. The majority of the squad report back on Monday 9th March. When all my mates are completing the various fitness tests on this day I may choose to delay my return by a couple of weeks! Seriously though I have permission to stay those extra two weeks if I feel I would benefit. I must weigh up whether traveling back home to bowl indoors for a couple of weeks would be a good option when I could be playing competitive cricket outdoor here.

2010 involves many things for me to look forward to and no doubt many things of which I have no idea. What I do know is that Northampton hold the answers to these and the return home will hold as much anticipation as the flight over here.
