I’m on this train tonight and we only received notice yesterday that it will be diverted in NL and arriving in Brussels 90min later than planned. Good job I didn’t book a tight @Eurostar connection, but I know others who did and now have to pay £££ for new tkts or flights.

When Immovable object met an Irresistible force... On This Day; In 1998 at Trent Bridge, during the fourth Test between England & South Africa, cricket fans witnessed an unforgettable duel that has since become the stuff of legends... England, trailing 1-0 in the series, faced a crucial moment on the fourth evening of the match... In Allan Donald's third over, he unleashed a ferocious delivery aimed straight at Mike Atherton's throat. Atherton, trying to fend off the ball, was struck on the hand, causing it to balloon into the air... Umpire Steve Dunne, however, did not declare him out... Donald, stunned & angry, warned Atherton: "You better be f****** ready for what's coming because there'll be nothing in your half." What followed was 40 minutes of some of the most intense cricket ever seen... Donald bowled with unmatched ferocity, hurling bouncers at both Nasser Hussain & Atherton, who valiantly stood their ground despite being repeatedly struck... The tension reached its zenith when Hussain edged a delivery from Donald, only for the catch to be dropped by Mark Boucher. Donald, unable to contain his frustration, screamed in disbelief... This dramatic encounter proved pivotal, as England went on to win this Test & a thrilling final Test at Headingley by 23 runs, clinching this series by 2-1(After beind down & out in the 1st two Tests) Despite the fierce competition on the field, a moment of camaraderie emerged afterward. Donald & Atherton shared a beer, laughing about the umpire's controversial decision... Donald remarked, "He knew he'd gloved it, and we had a laugh about the fallibility of umpires. He said, 'What would you have done?' and I said I wouldn't have walked either." In a gesture of sportsmanship, Atherton signed the glove he used during that fiery exchange & gave it to Donald, a memento of a remarkable battle & mutual respect between two cricketing greats... To this day, this Test series remains my most favorite Test series...
