Excellent Knocks, Mullet shocks, cricket rocks!!!

'The one and only'

So where on earth do I flipping well start today??? Lets start with the most amazing innings by Chesney Hughes at Headingley over the last two days. With an unbeaten total of 270 he was single handedly waging war against 'my boys'. That aside, what an amazing innings from this talented young man from Anguilla ( home of former Hampshire bowler Cardigan Connor). He fell just short of equalling the highest Derbyshire total ( record has stood for 117 years!) but did put on a marvellous display. Derbyshire closed on 475.

Yorkshire came in with Joe Root who stood at close of play on 75 not out. Yorkshire still  311 in arrears according to the BBC website. Yeah well we all know what happened on Saturday.
I can tell you that this has been a great first month in the cricket season.

So last night I took myself off to bed early as I am still not feeling 100% after last week. And then realised that I had not watched his Royal Ryanness on You Tube talking about cricket.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKpw49sbdIs   Absolutely brilliant!!!!.
Seeing Gillespie the Gallant and his Royal Ryanness as 'headband warriors' was hilarious and I think that they need to try this look out at future matches.
Jason, as for having a grey mullet...............go for it, it can't be any worse than an orange afro!!!

Great to see Liam Plunkett speaking positively about his move to Yorkshire. It looks to be the making of him.
Check out  the video it really is a great insight into Headingley and the team, especially as His Royal Ryanness has given aware his 'hiding' technique in the dressing room when Gillespie the Gallant is shouting at them ( surely not??). It is also the location of 'Knickergate' although this was not mentioned!

12 minutes of hilarious fun, check it out NOW!!!
Oh yes and if His Royal Ryanness would like to come and landscape my garden he is very welcome to. ( NB this is not a euphemism!!!!)

So what does today hold in the cricket field.....


Well Yorkshire will be in batting. ( go Joe!)

Former besty home county of Durham are at Trent Bridge and with Will Smith putting on 119 yesterday they go into today on  297-6 in reply to Notts  320.

 what is happening in Lady Lainey land?

Well hopefully by the end of today ( one week after first feeling poorly) I am hoping to be on the mend ( 6.50am and no headache yet). I have to go to super swanky Lady Lainey office to shout at boys, drink gallons of water ( giving coffee a miss today) , look pretty ( rough at the moment)and sort out super new job which filtered in last week.

So best to go and fire up the limo.

Hope today will be equally as exciting cricket wise.

I love cricket me!
