I watched the cricket yesterday and was proud to be watching James Hopes. I thought he did a fantastic job and it broke my heart when he went out.

You could see by the look on his face that he felt he could have won the game for his country. He looked so disappointed. I just wanted him to know that most of Australia would have been proud of his efforts to save his team. Well done James Hopes, even if you didn’t win it for us.
