Shane Bond is back

There is so little cricket news to concentrate on that everyone has gone gah-gah over the fact that Shane Bond had a wee bowl in club cricket. The man himself admitted to being surprised by the number of headlines and demands for an interview, and 10 overs against Canterbury Country is hardly anything which would normally earn you a front page cover on the Dominion Post's sport supplement. But then, this is Shane Bond. And he did look quite sharp. And he did say "It could be two weeks, it could be four weeks, but it is going to fall into place for me." And Australia are here in four weeks' time. And, dammit, that means it is bloody exciting news.
