Hi Stefan - this is our 7 year old Marc Patterson who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia over three years ago. We are blessed that he’s made it through the treatment so far and we are absolutely here for any parents who need any advice/help/shoulder to cry on.

Tomorrow - Marc gets his port a cath removed under general anaesthetic. He’s now finished 3 1/2 years of daily chemo and procedures. A hard road for him, his siblings and parents. We are truly blessed thanks to his incredible team at QE in Glasgow. Thank you everyone. ❤️

Utterly gutted for the Scotland Squad, coaches and back room staff. I’ve been there and it hurts like hell. Both teams should be at WC. Well played lads a valiant effort in the face of incredible odds. You should all be very proud of yourselves.

Today - after over three years - Marc gets last intravenous dose of chemotherapy and five day course of steroids which makes him extremely cranky and starving all the time however we are blessed compared to many.

I read Gordon’s autobiography aged 12 - still hard to believe I got to bat with him 20 years later in professional cricket even if he did take my opening slot. Tom Black is another of my cricket heroes - hated facing him and he took the piss out of me constantly.

Like many past players I’m distraught at the current state of Scottish Cricket and the continued division which is so negative. This photon reminded me of why I loved the game. A good game, a few runs and having a chat with the Rac after the game who helped me so much

Forgive the self indulgence but I remember my second cap for the support and advice of two great people - Douglas Haggo who pulled me away from the bar when 60 not out overnight and Omar Henry who sat me down after the game and told me this is where the hard work really starts.

Hard to believe I got to coach for a few days alongside legends Sir Gary Sobers and Mike Whitney in Hobart, Tasmania 1989. Brilliant cricket stories from both and two of the nicest blokes you could ever meet. Whit asked if he could bowl at me in the nets for an hour - yessir !

First of eight winters in NZ and Oz age 19 years old. Arrived as a bowler and within two weeks told to forget it. Took up a spare opening slot and off we go - shared a house with Brendon Bracewell and a Māori bloke Roger whose dad was a rugby legend. Hard yakka !

Found this mental skills checklist in my old kit bag which took me back - I would argue that assuming a high level of fitness and solid technique any player can succeed if they master the mental skills of batting - in fact I would say 90% of the game is played above the shoulders

I played cricket alongside John Blain for many years within the Scotland set up. He is a tremendous athlete and genuine fast bowler who gave hisall. Never in my entire career did I ever hear a racist comment from him. I wish his bowling partner the late great Asim Butt was here.

Sorry guys this comes across as patronising and unhelpful. The issue of raising the important issue of racism need to be completed separated from the immature ad hominem attacks on John Blain over something that may or may not have been said in a dressing room 15 years ago.

Nope, not the same - reverse ramping is 100% pre meditated - edging to slip isn’t. Having to change grip and stance then hoping the ball from worlds best fast bowler is in the right place is high risk. Hitting to the sight screen down the ground on a flat one less so. IMHO

This is an important message from Paddy for all sportspeople. It’s important to realise your performance/results/career are only a partial reflection of who you are. Defining yourself in this way stops you from moving on to the next chapter in a positive way.

When I started Ian Phillip told me all selectors were useless and favoured Edinburgh teams. The only way to stay selected was through sheer weight of runs. - a batsman’s currency is runs and a bowlers currency is wickets. No one gets dropped when their scoring hundreds.
