..............that after being snowed in on the way to Gatwick, missing the entire Jamaica Test, after the Sir Viv Richards stadium fiasco, my dad snapping his achilles in a successful bid to score the winning runs at beach cricket, being charged £1,000 for tickets we had already bought and then given the runaround by Caribbean Airlines, watching five days of tedium at the Kensington Oval, suffering a house fire back in London and sitting through four days of tepid cricket at the Queens Park Oval, I found myself watching the best days cricket of the entire tour on the television in an empty hotel bar in Antigua.
Come on England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at work as watched the WI wickets tumbling on the mini-scorecard in the corner of my computer screen. This was all very exciting, but the main thought I had was, "Well, that's just bloody typical of Jonno's luck!"
Gutted for you mate.
Hope all is well and that you have a nice juicy insurance pay out for the fire when you return home.
..at least fulham won
