I enjoyed that - and now regret not having taken up cricket at school.

We know he’s in the UK this summer. And we know when he’s going to be in London.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

How about a theme of Port from years we won the Ashes. It has the added bonus that there are two calendar years in an away series. And if anyone can find a way of working a bi-plane reference into the theme, how could he resist?
