We have returned from Japan with plenty of stories regarding the calibre of toilets, vending machines and capsule hotels! We can give you plenty of Do's and Don'ts from our own travel experiences. Actually we certainly focus more on the Don'ts. We have a piece of advice for all journalists covering cricket this summer. There are more nicknames for mates and some of them are so specific they require a bit of back story! Here is how it went:

1. Heat v Cold
2. Listen to the Chocs
3. Media... Simmer
4. Japan Trip
5. Nicknames for Mates
6. Say the Same Word
7. You're in for an X
