Dancing cricketers

After recording an interview with Gerry Ryan for Ryan Confidential, which will be aired in the autumn when the paperback of A Prisoner of Birth comes out, I went off to the Dorchester to do an auction for Mark Ramprakash for the Anthony Nolan Trust. We'd all hoped that Mark would have his hundred 100s by now, but sadly he's got stuck on 99. However, he assured me there were another 9 county championship matches before the end of the season, and my own bet is that once he's scored his next century, three or four more will quickly follow. The auction raised £30,250 - and one of the most popular Lots was a salsa dancing lesson with Mark and the Cuban Groove.
