Don't you start, the Wisden Trophy has been the bane of my bloody life this week. I managed to get a colleague to take it to Edgbaston on Wednesday so I don't have to miss the Slash gig but now we have to arrange to get it back and I'm the named person with the insurance underwriter. I'm trying to persuade them to allow the deputy editor of Wisden to take my place, but it's worth £20k so I don't know why they are trusting me with it anyway. I fell down the stairs while holding the offficial replica of the Ashes Urn!

I will be there on Friday night with cake whatever happens.

And I'm sure Dave Preston will squeeze into the bikini if I'm absent.
