"Hi, darling,

"Feeling a little depressed currently as you might imagine. I am not sure which is worse, being knocked out in the semi-final at Edgbaston (a major cricket ground in England) or now in the first round. At least will not have to go to Guyana!

''Our batting performance was abysmal and my worse fears were realised. I could tell the players were for some reason not able to fire themselves up, we just threw away our wickets all the time. I give credit to the Irish and we did fight hard in the field, but what a horrible feeling. I don't know when I will be back but I would quite like to come home and see Dale (his son) and Pippa, etc. So I am going to speak to the chairman (of the Pakistan Cricket Board) tomorrow and see what he has to say.

''I hope your day was better but I doubt it as you were probably watching! Not much more to add I am afraid but I still love you lots."
