Well I think that
regular readers will know that it takes me well over 48 hours to
choose shoes, handbags and more importantly tiaras for any given
‘event’, and don't even think about the hours it takes to sort out my orange curls!!!. So I am finding it jolly hard to believe that two young men from Lincolnshire
are going to try to not only beat the world record for the longest net
session but take it much much further.
The current
record is 26 hours and they are attempting to not only beat the
record but go for 48 hours. Call David Newman and Richards Wells
stupid but they are doing it for a great cause ( Brain tumour
research) If they survive the 48hrs, they will then push for 50.
The event starts at
12 noon on the 30th of January at Northgate
Sports Hall in Sleaford, Lincolnshire and will carry on until
hopefully midday on Saturday 1st Feb. Not only have they been looking
for donations to the cause, but anything cricket related as donations
would be amazing, as they can auction/raffle off to raise more funds.
To date they have had either a signed bat, shirt or match day tickets
from EVERY 1st class county team within the UK
If you can help
them further then please read the full

If you wish to
attend, please just turn up treat it as a free bowling net!
Or in the case of I, Lady Lainey, I will bring a real touch of
glamour to the occasion!
Everyone is welcome.
I would also like to say
that GJJ Sports @GJJSports and Simply Cricket Ltd @Simply_Cricket
have also offered to help if they can with donating goods. And the
top man at Simply Cricket is trying to organise this from
Australia!!!!
I really have had my faith
in (cricket) mankind restored in the last few weeks. People are
amazing and try to help however they can in what ever way they can
and that is truly wonderful.
So is truly wonderful how we can describe the on going Test match? You will notice that I am a tad late in posting this morning, well I couldn't drag myself away from the cricket. England bowled out Australia for 385 after taking their last four wickets for 59 runs.
However after losing wickets early yesterday Australia made a good comeback.
Cook and Carberry opened for England, Carberry was lucky on a couple of occasions but then went for 43 runs. I was super excited when little Joey Root came in to bat, but his seat had hardly cooled down in the dressing room before he was heading back!
Cook has made his half century, being partnered by KP, who does not look comfortable.
England currently 8.15am UK time 113-2
I have a million things that I should be doing ....................but .......................just another half hour of cricket!!!!!
Have a great Saturday
