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

England lost their final T20 game against Pakistan on the final ball, but last night, the position was reversed in what was THE MOST UNLIKELY victory ever! Talk about exciting!! (sorry for "shouting")

Brian, I have to say the subscription to Sky was repaid ten-fold last night. Talk about the Phoenix rising from the (not going to mention that word) AND against the Aussies too!

I shall be crowing for weeks to come laughing Lawd knows what Geoffery made of that!

The ghost of Patrick Swayze being smashed out of the park (excuse the pun) for the final winning runs! Just magnificent 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏏🏏🏏

I'm sitting sat here with non-alcoholic drinks,  low calorie snacks  to hand  and woe is me  We've lost the toss surprised.

So we must apply the pressure on the pitch ( Heavy rollers over Smith & Warner perhaps ??)

Still we shall see -- or more actually you might see, but I will have to put up with just hearing their squeals of anguish from the comfort of my reclined arm chair laughing

" Ain't Bad "   -- no it's worse than that I'm afraid  --  seems like the slapdash sort of effort similar to the latest C19 attitude  __  the Boss is missing so lets take it easy. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !

I think there might be a serious " Sit Down & LISTEN " talk before the 50 ~ over games start  --  and team selection must be part of that talk !!

Have to agree with your comments Brian. A very unprofessional and lacklustre performance by England, especially when we had the opportunity to grind their noses in it. Ok, it was our "second X1" but we missed a golden opportunity there.

We could have had a further dozen or so runs off Starc's final 2 overs as he bowled consistently down leg-side, our batsman deciding to 'run to leg' instead of moving across the stumps and either flicking him to leg or getting a wide. Mr Butler would probably have had at least 30 runs off him! 

And so to Old Trafford..........
