Right  now  I'm  celebrating  the  fact  that  I  didn't  get  SKY  so  I  could  watch ( so  very  nearly  said  enjoy yell)  the  England  v West Indies  test  cricket.  After  all  the  wonderful  reports  of  how  the  team  is  building  up  into  a  World  Beating  Side  it  seems  that  it's  just  another  race  to  the  pits.  I'm  getting  the  feeling  that  watching  Sunday  football  between  a  couple  of  over age  pub  teams  will  bring  much  more  excitement  &  pleasure  until  Easter Egg  Rolling  commences  wink

Behave yourself JR, or I will set  "Aggers the Great " on you --  he's holding forth on TMS now about dogs n dog walkers just enough to allow us to appreciate the ramblings of Vaughnie about  field placings.

 

12:09 pm  England  55 for 1

I do hope so, Nellie, they played very well after lunch today and it's a long time since I could say that  !!

They were a bit slow at first this morning, but made up for it in the afternoon session. The our Jimmy steps in and grabs 3 quick wickets at the end, so a good day all round.

What an amazing day of crikkit at the Rose Bowl (other insurance companies are available!)

So, as records tumble, as well as Pakistani wickets, who's going to lay a tenner to say we bowl them out twice before lunch tomorrow, or even today?? Imagine taking 17 test wickets in a day? Mmmmm

Just hope it's all wrapped up by tomorrow evening before the impending inclement conditions rob England of their worthy victory and elevate them to second ranked in the world.

And I never thought I'd be saying That  with Buttler hanging on to a few sharp chances behind the stumps surprised

Follow on enforced. Sleep well Jimmy and in the morning you'll (hopefully) rewrite the record books again 😄👍

Jimmy would have done but only if the Wicket Keeper / Slips had remembered to keep their hands together  !!  With the appalling forecast for tomorrows weather  and the next Test Match for England being a long time away the Lad might have taken up his state pension when his next chance arrives yell
