There’s no need to do that though. All we need to do is dig out a quote.”

Thank goodness for that. You must have been getting worried.

I’m confused.

Which is presumably just what they want.

Indeed, is it extra cover, or is Ged the third man?

No, he’s a CIA operative who has to undertake espionage missions in Australia and India. Unfortunately, his inability to score a run in England last summer saw him miss the Australia part of the tour. His Agency contact was then bundled into the back of a van and made to play Ausse Rules Football until he confessed to spying on Kookaburra and finding out why they can’t make a ball that swings for more than 20 deliveries

Is Ged Ladd even your real name?

Suddenly it all makes sense.

How utterly foolish of me. I guess that demonstrates how far removed from the world of secret agents I am…

…except that, if I were a secret agent…

…I would say that, wouldn’t I?
