Never thought I'd own one to be honest, let alone in that condition for that price, I'm over the moon. Ten years, much frustration, and I'm now one off a complete run of 1934 to the present.
Second Test at Lords ends on 26/6, and they then had to schlep down to Taunton, which would have been a decent trip in those days to plat Somerset the next day. Amazing.
I had to stop suddenly in the rain to let a family of racoons cross the road the other day. Guy behind me almost rammed into me. Probably wondered why I stopped for a pest. I thought it was a dog at first.

There's a good story in AB's 89 Ashes Diary when they had to play a county the morning after regaining the Ashes, an incredibly hungover/still pissed team of course. Blokes dropping easy catches, think even Boony dropped one at short leg, funny morning of cricket apparently.
I don't care that much either. Might put baseball on a few times a year. This is kind of an historic one though. Plus, a big game on makes me feel less guilty about a couple of drinks on a Wednesday night!
Had to look it up. Thought 108 years for the Cubs was the longest drought in pro-sport. A couple of Scotish football teams waited longer though. St Johnstone went 130 years.
Makes me somewhat feel better about all those Grand Final losses for the Cats!
