I hope you read this stuff because these are the last words I will ever write. There will be a knock on the door any minute now and I will banged up in choky for the rest of my natural.

Prison’s too good for me, now I think about it. So is hanging. I might get away with being hanged, drawn and quartered. It’s not every day that a chap admits to high treason but that’s what I’m guilty of.

Because the next time England play cricket, against New Zealand at Lord’s in three months, I hope they lose. And I reckon that’s right up there on the HT charge sheet, along with conspiring to kill the monarch, levying war against the realm and murdering an important bloke like the Lord Chancellor.
