Congratulations Johnny! I'm sure there are many cricket bat puns I could think of, but I'll keep them in the locker (along with the reverse-sweep!) but well done mate!

Johnny Firefly: [at the cricket club, after Beatrix's delivery] 7 pounds 2 ounces.
Talisman: Is that a baby, or a turkey?
Johnny Firefly: A baby!
Talisman: That's a good-sized baby.
Johnny Firefly: Right.
Talisman: Small turkey, though.

Congrats Johnny to you and your misus.

Well done Jonathon! Speaking as the father of several children by multiple women - I salute you!

I like Beatrix, although I think firefly would've been the way to go with the middle name.

Jolly good of England to arrange a series win to celebrate the birth of my beautiful daughter, Beatrix. Many thanks to all who tweeted!
