Hi all,

Just a quick one, in fact a very quick one, to let you know about when I do an update; I have started a 'twitter' page, "iainobrien”, that will let you know when I add something here.

And thanks for the messages since we were knocked out of the World Twenty20. Appreciate them.

I head off to Liverpool tomorrow for my first match back with Leicestershire, it’s a Twenty20 match. I haven’t played for a while so am a little nervous about getting back into it properly. I’ve certainly done enough net work to feel good, but it’s always different when you get out in the middle. Either way, I’m looking forward to showing where my form is at and the things I learnt while training and watching so many great bowlers bowl during the competition.

On Thursday I got myself to Trent Bridge to watch our women’s team take on India in their semi-final. They made pretty easy work of it and I really enjoyed the afternoon. There are a few of the Wellington Blaze girls out there playing and it was great to see them in action on the big stage and perform so well.

I stuck around for the next match, just a small issue of Pakistan beating South Africa in a match which I thought would go the other way. That has been the nature of this tournament really - you just can’t pick a winner in any of these games. And for this fact I think it will always be a well-supported form of cricket.

Catch me back in a couple of days, and look me up on ‘twitter’ to get updates for here.
