Oh, I'm tired of the noise and the turmoil of battle, And I'm even upset by the lowing of cattle, And the clang of' the bluebells is death to my liver, And the roar of the dandelion gives me a shiver, Give me Peace; that is all, that is all that I seek… ~A.A.Milne #ArmisticeDay

Imagine Liam Dawson in autumn of 2023 with a phone in his hand. First Luke Wright rings to say he is in the World Cup squad for India and then Wright rings again to say he is not. Then Rob Key calls about the Test tour and Dawson, who had already travelled to 2 World Cups, won the 2019 one and never played a single match, asks the only question that mattered. Will I actually play? Nobody could promise him that so he said no, flew to South Africa and won the SA20 with Sunrisers Eastern Cape. this is a man who started swinging a bat at 3 in rural Wiltshire, joined Goatacre Cricket Club at 7 and waited his whole life for England to say yes and when they finally said maybe he chose his own peace instead. He has said since that chasing selection was unhealthy and I think the day he let it go was the day his cricket opened up. At 36, under Harry Brook, he is living a second life. In T20Is this year he has 22 wickets at 7.78 economy and no other spinner from the full member teams has taken more wickets at a better economy. But real rise has come in ODIs, where he has taken 14 wickets in 8 games at 4.35 an over. Mind you, no other bowler in this England side has managed an econkmy below 5.5 this year and whole bowling unit is going at 6.03. Dawson is not just holding the line, he is their highest wicket taker at 21.78 average. For years England treated Dawson like a spare part. This year they found out he was the engine.

Kev & Mick. Him not being around feels very odd to all of us who grew up with Kevin being everywhere, the telly and magazines. He was Kevin Keegan - but he'd muck out the horses and fix fencing at weekends at our farm with Mick & Phil. Just a bloke. Lovely man. 🥰

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Kevin Keegan. Kevin signed for the club in 1980 as the holder of the Ballon d’Or and brought great joy to fans at The Dell and across the football world. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
