Don't talk two soon.

more bad news from Bruce

We were expecting to see Joyce next but not so although I am assured he is fit to bat. Apparently Yasir Arafat got hit on the finger batting in the nets and has gone to have it checked out in hospital. More news when I get it.

DOES THIS MEAN WE CAN HAVE PUSHY BACK.
