England Cricket

And only 196 to get in 20 overs 

And, would you or anybody, believe it  they have got them !!

So Brian's day has perked up just a little  

Excellent result 👍 for England.Do enjoy the " see it , hit it , leg it " form of cricket . Though I'm sure some of the purists are spitting daggers whenever it's played 😁.

Forecast is good for tomorrow at Owd Trafford, so it will give our Opponents a fair chance to level the series. Only reasonable to do that, especially since like West Indies they have come here, sat in " Bubbles" despite having quite possibly extended families/relations here who might only see them as we do -- on some lap top or such, for which I sincerely thank them anyway !!

Not many more "Purist"   than Brian wrt the relevant place in the sporting world  of Test and/or short form Cricket But like the difference / similarities 'tween sportscar driving and HGV driving never the twain shall meet but both have their place out there in the great wide world 

Well called Brian , a draw was a fair result 👍. Now England need to get into the Aussies to finish off a good if strange summer.

Should be a couple of days crikkit out of the three planned anyway

Sad to  hear that David Capel has passed away recently aged 57.

Wow now that was a game of cricket . Excellent game lads .🏏🏏. Strike one against the Aussies.😀😀.

Agreed there, Trellis, mate    the remote took a bit of a bashing this evening 'cos there was some Athletics on at the same time --  wonder if the new " Lord of the BEEB " will get it all organised properly
