Tomorrow heralds possibly the worst day's racing in the history of the noble sport - appalling fayre with only the 3.10 holding the slightest bit of interest for us.

A nasty day on the cricket with the Kiwis rediscovering the backbone that has been absent from their game for so long.The Pakistanis also showing some unrecognisable fight and delaying the inevitable - I would expect thjem to collapse tomorrow and the the Saffers to win somewhere around tea.
An astonishing performance from Chris Gayle over in Galle with a double century on Day 1 which has made the game an almost certain Draw as the Windies paper thin attach will not be able to capture 20 wickets against the powerful Shree batting.

For starters tonight I had a Chicken Liver & Mushroom Pate with Plum Chutters,a main course of Ham Hock,Mashed Pots and Butter Beans mixed with minted Petit Pois and followed by a Fig Crumble with Vanilla Custard.
Having a break from the booze on Doc's orders so just the San Pellegrino and a cheroot.

May your chips always be golden.

Eat well.
