Descending On Old Trafford

Where do you find Greater Manchester politicos – press and politicians alike – on their Sunday off? Having read David Ottewell’s blog, clearly the answer is at the cricket, although I found myself amongst a different section of the barmy army on the other side of the ground.

I can’t agree with David on one point though:

Anyway, I bet Gordon Brown wishes he’d been there. Not because he’s any great cricket fan, but because England’s win might have restored his faith in miracle come-backs.

As Guido would doubtless agree, if Brown had been in attendance then England would clearly have lost!
