Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Now that’s commitment

For anyone who wasn’t convinced that England have the best supporters in the world, try this on for size.

A Scotsman sold his house so he could go to Australia to watch England play in the Ashes.

Edinburgh-born Allan Fairlie-Clarke, 31, says he doesn’t regret his decision despite England’s poor start, reports the Mirror.

After losing his job as an air-conditioning engineer, he decided selling his £180,000 maisonette in Chelmsford, Essex was the only way to get to Australia.

Crikey. Fair play to him. I just hope England can put on a show that makes it all worthwhile.
