The England v Australia test
series down under began just after midnight, giving the opportunity to tune
into the ball-by-ball radio commentary from the warmth and sunshine of Brisbane
while the cold northern hemisphere November rain lashed down against the curtained
window panes; for an hour it was crystal clear on Radio 5 Live Extra, on the
digital TV, then in bed, with no headphone jack in the digital radio alarm, I
had to resort to Radio 4 long wave on the old transistor, complete with
crackles and whistles (and occasional shipping forecast) that took me back to
many such mis-spent nights over more decades than bear thinking about.
