The Ashes 2011 daily: Happy New Year

Team Guardian in Australia
Happy New Year.

Happy New Year from Vic, David, Mike and Kevin

Lord Selvey writes:

We thought we should wish our bloggers a Happy New Year so here we are, raising a glass to you all, in Young and Jacksons in Melbourne.

You must excuse the quality, but the picture was taken by Martin Johnson of the Sunday Times, which explains the lighting, composition and above all camera shake.

While we are here perhaps we should also make a plea for a bulk contract from Advanced Hair Studios.

For the record the beer is not 'lager' but mountain goat steam ale. Victor has sav blanc and so I think has Kev.

Best wishes for a Happy New Year

Selve

Remember 2010?

If you're sat around with a hangover, would now be a good time to reminisce about some fabulous cricket from the year just gone? How about the best innings of 2010? Or the best bowling? The best match? Or catch? Can be international, county, how about state; One day, three day, 20/20; whatever you like, whatever you'd like to nominate.

To start the ball rolling, the best innings I saw in the flesh last year was Tamim Iqbal's century at Lord's back in May, at more than a run a ball and spurring his partners to greater things. Exhilarating stuff.

Yorkshire

Just wanted to share this tweet by Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale a couple of nights ago:

Nice cheeseboard tonight!!! Just need a drop of red to go with it. http://twitpic.com/3kkwad

And I loved Andy Wilson's piece about Tim Bresnan and recent generations of Yorkshire quicks.

You can find Ashes news here.

I'll be back onto the serious business of the Ashes tomorrow....but for now: Happy New Year.
