On this day, 8 long years ago, I betrayed my people.
It was a long decision process, but in the end it had to be done.
I married a England cricket supporter.
Oh, the horror.
In those eight years, we have enjoyed watching Lancashire together; we have spent many hours sitting at the Derbyshire cricket ground waiting for the rain to stop; we saw India beat England at Headingly; we saw the Saffers beat England at Headingley; In both cases I cheered, he sulked. He got grumpy when I woke him as I got outof bed at an ungodly winter hour to watch Ashes tests in Australia, but held my hand as I cried when Steve Waugh walked off at the SCG after his last test innings.
But most importantly, I am still ahead in the Ashes count:
England: 2 (2005, 2009)
Ausralia: 3 (2001, 2003, 2007)
I'm counting 2001 for a couple of reasons: we were living together when we won in 2001; it was only over by weeks when we got married and; it's my blog I can do whatever I want.
2011 will make it 4.

You justified the 'betrayal' with the blog Sid!

Go ahead and add 2010/11 to that list so long.
