          The ECB have put out a statement explaining the above quote.

          We're number one when playing in our own country and / or conditions which favour both our batsmen and bowlers. Any implication that we're number one when playing in another country, or in conditions which might not be exactly what the batsmen and bowlers need to perform reasonable, should not be implied by any mention of England (and Wales) being number one.

                  The rust around the casing of the valve was a bit of a give away.

                  I borrowed eldests phone and I've got video footage of the leak.

                  So I called british gas and an engineer will be out before 1pm. I asked that the incompetent fool who has been out twice before to be excluded from the call.
                  I called british gas yesterday and asked for a different eng to come out.
                  They arrived just as the football was starting.
                  It took 2.5 for him to replace A valve.
                  He started to tidy up and I checked the work and it was the wrong bastard valve and it was still leaking.

                    so he had to drain the system all over again and start on the other one.

                      and the leak is repaired - but we now have a nice vibrating noise of pipe on pipe.
                      Its coming from the rather large drain joint that he put in.

                      While it was vibrating I got up on the ladders and put my hand on the rather hot valve the vibrating stopped.

                      Guess who will be calling them again
