#COYT!!!!

I know its not cricket but The Blades need support today!!!

This season sees the  150th anniversary of Wisden the cricket 'bible'. It celebrates its momentous age with none other than Yorkshire CCC and  Sheffield United who are 150 this year. Rush out and buy your copy now!!!

So lets have a round up of County cricket yesterday.

WELL!!!!!! lets start with Besty Home county of Yorkshire. OMG not a great start for them, they were all out for 96 after being thoroughly 'attacked by Sussex 'Debutante' Chris Jordan, who came out of the first innings with figures of 6-48.
96 being the lowest total that Yorkshire have ever made against Sussex. However...................step up to the crease His Royal Ryanness, who took out the top order batsman and some. 3 wickets before the close of play, it sort of reminds me of Gillespie the Gallant at Chester Le Street way back in 2006, taking Durham apart. I think that today may be quite exciting.


And over at former besty home county of Durham things  were not fairing that much better, much of the top order went back to the pavilion pretty early and it was left to Scott Borthwick and Ben Stokes to see the team through to 250 at close. ( someone waving a beer bottle from the balcony as encouragement for Ben?????)

I DO NOT normally read down market red top tabloid newspapers however Pony Paul had bought one at lunchtime yesterday and it had a review of the season in which made interesting reading.
According to this paper
Yorkshire are' likely to be hit by England call ups, and their batting does not seem strong enough to reach top'.  Well we will see

As for Durham there were never truer words  printed, 'Ageing team must creak into life to regain form of the last few years'

Well let me just add that when I Lady Lainey was there on Sunday there was no sign of the player who had been awarded this seasons benefit. The player who 'gave his all' for the team. Yes that would be the player who has been out most of the last 3 seasons and now appears to be out again. Well never mind, pay in  the bank at the end of the month and better still, nice cheque at the end of the season and probably another contract to sit on the balcony next year. OH OH nearly turned into a rant.

On the footy front  news came through VERY late last night that Danny Wilson has left my beloved Blades. They are still in 5th place in the league and 6 points away from automatic promotion. They haven't scored at the lane since February and everyone is obviously getting a bit jittery.

So it was a brief round up today but with 'Jo Bling' swanning off to super swanky new build in Wembley I have been put in charge of the back up. Oh dear you know it is all going to end in tears and pitiful text messages!! ( and that's just 'Jo'!!)


Bon Journee
