Oh no, I cannot 'Adam and Eve'it. Its Monday again and even though I had half of last week off work I am sooooo tired this morning that I could do with another half week off.
So lets get straight down to the cricket news.
Yorkshire are in action against Derbyshire today and Gillespie the Gallant made it very clear that they would be giving his Royal Ryanness a rest ( well he's not getting any younger!) and that as they have a good stock of bowlers in the team they would be doing a bit of rotating ( my words not his). This means that his Royal Ryanness will be fresh as a daisy for the matches that I Lady Lainey can attend.
Joe Roots fantastic knock on Saturday has carved his name into Yorkshire cricketing history. He is showing his skill and maturity and is a huge addition to the Yorkshire team.
Former besty home county of Durham are in action against Nottinghamshire after travelling down to Trent Bridge yesterday.Hopefully they will not go into the match with the usual Durham arrogance, which hasn't served them too well this early in the season.
The members at Durham were quite vocal last week about the recipient of the Benefit year. He is injured ( again!) and so not playing ( as he has been for the last 4 seasons) and as one gentleman eloquently put it. 'He's had a blinking* benefit year every year for the past four. Not played and been paid!!!
* not the actual word he used!
I think that at the 'Benefit match' next Sunday it will be interesting to see peoples reaction. However if you hire a hospitality box for the day you even get a visit from the Benefit player. ( now I am not saying a word!)
Over in the football, play offs are about to start and The Blades take to the field on Friday against Yeovil with them travelling down to Yeovil on Bank Holiday Monday. Fingers crossed.
So I am off to super swanky Lady Lainey office to see what havoc the boys have caused whilst I was on my jollies.
And if you want to bat like Joe Root but are not lucky enough to have Gillespie the Gallant to help you with your technique, try the cricketcoachapp.
