Drink sleep and have a hard on at the next naked bike ride.

This reminds me of a bloke I used to work with. He'd got tickets to the fifth day of a Derbyshire match, where he was going as a VIP for the day. He'd organised a suit a tie and he couldn't wait for the free bar. Needless to say the game was over and done with by teatime on the fourth day, the poor bloke was gutted.

I was at The Oval when Devon Malcolm bagged 9 - 57 against S.A. Some of my greatest sporting memories have been at cricket as a spectator, player and an umpire. I played against Sutton one day, came on second change and got 5 wickets in a row all caught by second slip, my mate Mark. I started getting a bit weary in the 7th over and with my last ball Mark dropped a dolly!

^^^ no end to this lad's talents and after his 7th over he knobbed a german model before making cream teas for the lads. If Carlsberg did real men, you know the rest.....

Howdi, I absolutely swear that everything I post on here is true, I just chat away on here saying what has happened to me in my life. I wasn't really a good cricketer, just a bits and pieces player like say Dermot Reeve. I went in 6 or 7 and was a bit of a slogger, invariably I'd hole out on the boundary. I did love my cricket though and loved umpiring, I was much better at rugby and hockey though. I don't play anymore though now, my local club got so political, I was treasurer and always spent the dosh buying us and opposition beers, as ye do. I do miss it though but am nowhere as fit as I used to be mainly with shoulder injuries which meant I couldn't bowl like I did so jacked it in.

148 runs in the morning session. Huggy unlikely to be bored yet.

Might as well go tomorrow as well if you have no other commitments. Could be a cracker. Sounds like there won't be much more, if any, play today.
|
|
By:
Indeed.
Cook'll try and bore us all to death so he can calim a series victory over the mighty New Zealanders |
|
By:
Well we are going to need close to 400, if not more than 400, on the last day. Not much point Cook going for it now that rain has helped us out.
|
|
By:
He wouldn't have gone for it anyway
Not at 2.7 runs an over (which is what it was before the rain). Way outside this conservative little creep's comfort zone. |
|
By:
If we got all the overs in and we weren't all out pretty sure we would have won regardless of whether Cook went for it. Doesn't matter now though, because it is all epidemic.
|

By:
44/0 off 13 overs so far, which is 3 and a third an over.
Anyone who has a chance to get to the ground and see Chris Gayle in his remaining games for Zum, please don't miss it. TV gives no idea of the power and presence of this giant. |

£5 for adults, kids go free tomorrow at Headingley. No chance of an England win now, but if the rain holds out good chance it will get exciting at some point with England trying to hold on for the draw. If you have no commitments and live reasonably close and like cricket then going for the fifth day is an absolute no brainer.
