Its 4am and freezing. I am tip toeing downstairs so as not to wake the rest of the house. England are playing India in the first test - compulsive viewing nurtured by my Dad, who was blind from the time I was 12 years old.
Dad loved listening to the cricket on the radio, and though he moaned big time about Johnners, Blofeld and Trevor Bailey bantering about cake, secretly I think he loved all that guff.
