Well before I launch into the cricket news from yesterday, I want to say a big 'Get Well Soon' to his Royal Ryanness who was unable to take his place in the team yesterday due to his taking ill overnight Monday /Tuesday. I hope that it is nothing serious and wish him a speedy recovery. However the 'boys' in the office were a tad more sceptical stating that 'ill' overnight after a bank holiday means one thing!!.............too much 'fizzy pop'!!!'. #benfitofthedoubt
So after a couple of weeks of the Root & Bairstow show, these two boys were missing as they were on Lions duty and it was time for some of the other Tykes to step up. And boy did they do it! Two more came out of the shadows to prove that Yorkshire have the strength within the team. Gary Ballance and Adil Rashid played a blinding game, both scoring centuries ( Ballance 107 & Rashid 119 not out). Yorkshire lost wickets very early when Gale and Jaques went and it was not looking too good. However Gillespie the Gallant has coached these boys well and with typical Yorkshire grit they 'dug' in and closed the day on 332-5.
Its days like this when you wish you were retired!!
Fantastic score and fantastic team. Huge pat on the back for my boys.
Worrying news from Pakistan that former cricketer Imran Khan was injured yesterday at a political rally, having fallen from a makeshift lift whilst attempting to enter the stage to speak. he suffered head injuries, but later appeared on television from his hospital bed. Get well soon.
Rumour mill is in overtime speculating on the new manager for Sheffield united. Strange though that I, Lady Lainey have not seen my name bandied around on Twitter!! #onlyamatteroftime
Better news for all well brought up people, news that Sir Alex Ferguson may be stepping down as manager of Manchester United. Finally we may not be subjected to him chewing gum with his mouth open!!.
Now I want to say a huge thank you to LV the sponsors of County Cricket who selected my suggestion of Joe Roots 182 against Durham as the performance of last month, and rewarded me with a Yorkshire shirt too. Hmmmmmmm I is jolly well wondering if my Tykes are going to deliver it #makemydayTykes!!!
Well off to make the day of the 'boys' in the office and look jolly flipping pretty for 7 hours. Gosh the things we girls have to do to earn a crust!.
