Apologies for today's brevity but I'm in Costa Rica enjoying rain forests and volcanos and better things to do than WE DID THE GREEN SWEEP!!!! FIVE WINS OUT OF FIVE ON SATURDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!

Congratulations to all involved. This is immense.

Performances: two tons! Anurag Zende for the 2s, Haseeb Shahid for the 4s, and a 90 for Chris Morris in the 3s. Other mentions to Alex Kirkpatrick (66), Curran Bains (49, avoidance noted), Matt Harrison 61, Yash Kumr 44*. Of the bowlers, Jack Waldout 4, Karthik 5 (again), Rafi 4.

Haven't heard much from tour which I hope is a good thing. We won a game but I'm sure that's just window dressing. Thanks to Tom Mason.

T20 side seems to have lost and I have heard nothing about Sunday games.

Well played everyone, really cheered me to hear the good news, and hope it's only coincidence that it happened only when I was 5 thousand miles away.

Have a good week - and let's have 5 more next week.
