Cricket

Tuned in, just in time to hear the Robson dismissal.
Took me a while to find the details on Cricinfo.
Who knew Middx v Sussex would be in Division 2?

I'm not sure div 1/div 2 makes any sense these days, afterall the better you do the more you lose your top players to central contracts. I'll enjoy 4 day county cricket while it lasts though...

You know all county games are being live streamed on youtube.

Sussex - Middlesex live now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpj2DKhvIKU

There's just something about cricket on the radio that I find ridicously inappropriate,

Scored for my daughter's U12 game today again. Great way to spend a morning. Some great cricket on show (batting, bowling and fielding...)

There’s this thing called TMS, apparently - you’ll hate it.

I mean to say I enjoy how inappropriate it feels in the modern world...

Engrained in my expectations of life, from spending too many hours driving between appointments.
Once, with careful planning, I managed not to miss a single moment of TMS, while still visiting enough clients to keep th'manager off my back.

Have to say seeing BMac in contention for the England test job wasn't something I expected to see today...

No, If you said for the white ball job it would have been more expected.

Sounds like it's happening. I guess I'm open to it, but in my eyes it's just a Kiwi take on Trevor Bayliss...

He's just taking on one of the lesser-ranked teams as a stepping-stone to the NZ job... ;)

Seriously though, it goes without saying that as a competitor he's right up there. Will be interesting to watch what happens.

This is genius

I love it!

But England .....
Starting from here ....
Against New Zealand .....

Apparently ticket sales are a bit shit, and the MCC are blaming the jubilee celebrations i.e a public holiday that is stopping people from going. Out of touch somewhat...

I got the last tickets for Sunday at the oval for final test vs SA
Completely sold out

Relieved we're not batting

Relieved Anderson is bowling

God he's good

... For an old

England with 5 slips in first session of a Lord’s test? The new era has definitely arrived, even if the squad didn’t quite suggest it!

Chores prevented me tuning in earlier.
Jimmy, England, bit of cloud cover ...

Potts , England … bit of cloud cover …. ! Blimey …..
