Finally it's F(ryan)day and another winning week

Holy flipping mackerel, I thought that it was never going to be F(ryan)day! This has been the longest ( and most exciting cricket wise) week that I have put over in a while. I am still completely worn out.
However tonight when I finish in super swanky Lady Lainey office I am steering the limo over to Chateau Saltburn, where the Dame and I are going to watch Labyrinth ( no not the film with David Bowie.....although that's quite good). The film based on the book by Kate Mosse.

Well lets get to the cricket as it was has been a trifle mad on the cricket front this week.

Over in Leeds home of besty home county in the whole world Yorkshire, 'headband warrior' Jack Brooks took 5 wickets. Derbyshires first innings hero Chesney Hughes went to Liam Plunketts bowling and the collapse continued. Derbyshire were training by 202 runs but only managed 163.
Yorkshire were amazing and I am not just saying this because I am a Yorkshire Lady. I have watched them play badly be relegated, get Gillespie the Gallant and be transformed. Long may this continue.
Congratulations to the besty team and top coach. #wayaw

"We have shown that in different situations we can score runs and take wickets," Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie said.
"The players have got the belief, the right attitude and a good work ethic, which are great things for them to have. They want to do well for each other and that is what we are trying to create."


Durham also played a blinder ( technical term), after being hauled out of bed at stupid o' clock by fire alarms and a fire!!! Scary!!!
They then went on to fight strongly with Gareth Breese making the winning runs. This was Durhams fourth win at Trent Bridge in their 21 year First class history.
Captain Colleywobble went on Radio Newcastle to say that he was 'stunned by the victory'. Errrr excuse me shouldn't you be putting the thought of victory into your players not saying you are stunned when you win. #wrongattitude #onlytobeexpected

Tonight sees The Blades in action against Yeovil in the first  of their two matches this weekend. #coyb

So without further ado I will now scoot off to super swanky Lady Lainey office and shout at the boys, look pretty and drink gallons of water ( still off the coffee)  for the last time this week.


Oh yes and before I forget a super big shout out for Phil Jaques who is celebrating his 34th birthday today. Well after yesterday that will be a double celebration. Happy Birthday Phil.
