England Cricket

I wonder how many people would have expected England to get to a first innings lead when they were on 55 for 6.

Cometh the hour cometh the men. Take a bow J. Bairstow and J. Overton. What a shame that Overton couldn’t get those three runs.

Game on!

Well I have to admit I was wrong and the match will go into the fifth day. Also Yorkshire Cricket Club have done the decent thing and made admission free tomorrow, how much cricket there’ll be is uncertain, the weather forecast isn’t promising.

Well played Jack Leach on getting a 10fer including two of the strangest dimissals I’ve ever seen.

Still Dampish at the moment so TMS has the Ladies entertaining us until ........

Persisted it down this morning but it’s cleared up nicely this afternoon. At least the crowd eventually got 65 minutes play.

On to the rearranged match with India next. I can’t remember what the state of play is in that series.

Roger,

India 2  England 1  One drawn !!

Could / would have told you last night BUT  Guess What  

Inessential  Incontinence Struck 

Thanks Brian, sorry I’m a bit late reading your reply 

Nary a fret, Roger lad !!  Weather forecast is not too good for this weekend  so most unlikely to have a definite result unless ............. 

Still I suppose we / i can warm up to the Tour De France while waiting for my crikit-prayers to get started  

Not sure if the wheels have completely come off yet , but the nuts have certainly been loosened.🏏🏏.

Three things are certain in life, death, taxes and that Crawley will be out driving. Mind you the others in the so called “top order” haven’t covered themselves with glory in this match so far.

Now I've got my " Steam Engine Days" out of my system, well at least until next weekend,  I will give full ABM thoughts to the test match although it seems barmpot reasoning to me  to be playing it a year late due to whatever causes !  But I suppose money talks whatever languages are concerned  !
