"Australia on course to be World Test Champs at The Oval"
Part 2 from my 4th self-published book "The Spirit of Cricket" sees Australia taking charge in the 2023 final of the World Test Championship versus India at The Oval in London, and here's a video of my reading of this, the third chapter in my self-published book, a brief extract from the chapter itself and a link to the paperback version:

"This Ashes diary entry is brought to you from the very beating heart of central England during yet another sporadic burst of glorious Summer sun and as such, it comes wrapped in my travels for the day and a visit to the ruins of a centuries old Abbey at Lilleshall and a picturesque stroll along the Shropshire Union Canal. Without a cloud in the sky to spoil the view of some 12th and 13th Century ruins of an Abbey church and cloister and two picture perfect stretches of the canal, I had to forego the live action from London and instead make some further sunshine filled memories with my beautiful son who let’s say doesn’t quite share my enthusiasm for all things ruinous and historical and finds my fascination with the centuries old canal systems quite baffling but look, the sun was shining and the cricket could have my undivided attention via an hour long highlights package later in the evening.
What transpired as I traversed the 12th and 13th Century rocky remains of a church and via that highlights package later in the evening was 12 wickets falling throughout the day, an arguable mini batting collapse and one team leaving the door slightly ajar for their outplayed opponents.
Cricketing “lives” followed, as did cricketing “snorters”, dropped catches and perhaps most importantly of all, of one team, Australia, seemingly holding all the cards for victory and for a coronation in three days' time as World Test Champions".
Thanks for watching!
