Test Thursday



So today is the start of the 3rd test at Old Trafford, and England are being 'wary of past mistakes' however rumour has it that KP is fit to play. Mistake number 1. He obviously didn't want to be outshone by the small and mighty James Taylor who sounds as if he may be omitted form the team. Mistake number 2. So far they re not being very wary!!!

The quarter finals draw took place last night and Hampshire will host Lancashire, with Nottinghamshire hosting Essex ( never the same team since the retirement of Ronnie Irani). Northants host Durham whilst Surrey are home to Sussex. These all take place between Tuesday and Thursday next week. I am (not so )silently rooting for Hampshire as this will be the last season for the wonderful Dimitri Masceranhas.


News from former besty home county of Durham is that Geoff Cook will return to work within a week or two after suffering a heart attack in June. This should mean that the price of wine in Austin's bar can return to the normal  as they will not have to pay Neil Killeen to coach the second XI and Jon Lewis can return to his usual position.
We all wish Geoff and long and happy time with Durham.


Dame Didi and I tried without nay luck to have a conversation on Skype last night but to no avail, her skype wouldn't connect with mine. Answers on a postcard to.............


Tzarina Kaaterina phoned last night and after 30 minutes chattering I am still not sure what she was talking about!!!

I awoke this morning to a text from 'Would like to be Lord Lainey'!!! WTF why can't he just disappear. Apparently he was 240 miles away and had bumped into the 2ndXI captain of the team that I used to make teas for last season. That would have been nice, two small town boys a long way from home #keepeachothercompany.



Well only one more day until Pony Paul is off on his jollys, he is demob happy at the moment however I know that in a matter of weeks I will be exactly the same.
So I will have to go to super swanky Lady Lainey office and rain on his parade !!
