Hopefully it`s a life positive thing that I`ve been been blessed to be balled into for a lack of a better way to put it. I find younger people less conditioned and therefore more alive. I don`t take a paternal or authority position with them; I don`t play mentor. I try to relate to them on a peer level. I`m trying to function totally in the moment.
- Harry Dean Stanton(45th over: England 171-5 (Pietersen 76, Collingwood 2) Lee is bowling seriously quickly - consistently around 95mph - and looks to have trapped Collingwood lbw. Only for Bowden to rule, wrongly, that Lee had no balled. Oh dear oh dear, Bowden is having a shocker. Collingwood dabs a single, and then Pietersen twice thumps Lee straight down the ground. Incredible cricket!) I`ve put £100 on Australia to win in the same way I did for the Rugby World Cup final, ... It matters so much that we win that I want some financial compensation to drown my sorrows if we lose. Anyone else have some better ways of reducing the pain of such sporting events?
