Lady Lainey gets on her high horse

Now regular readers will know that not only will Lady Lainey not really get on a high horse but Lady Lainey will not go within an hemisphere of the flipping smelly creatures because she is flipping scaredy of them ( and frogs and mice, even 'mickey' who lives by the fence in Dame Didi's garden at Chateau Saltburn). However today I am on my high horse as I feel a good old cricket rant coming on.

As I noted yesterday  Ruel Brathwaitewas  was released by Durham on Monday and promptly snapped up by former besty home county in the south Hampshire, where yesterday he made his first class debut....................and took two flipping wickets!!!! What the Donald Duck are they on at Durham???? I know that Ruel had hardly played a first class match for the county and was constantly relegated to the 2nds but this performance speaks volumes.#wheniamthekingofcricket!

Former besty home county of Durham meanwhile  were bowled out by Sussex for  245 and at the close of play Durham had taken Sussex to 60-3 with Onions taking two wickets and Mitch Claydon taking one. ( after being dragged back from Kent where he had been happily on loan). However Kent have announced that they are dragging Mitch back for the 2014 season. So now Durham are down two bowlers ( three if you included Steve Harmison but who does, he has done nothing for the last 3 seasons), looks as if there may be trouble ahead for the team! Today should be an entertaining day.


OK I am climbing down from the smelly animal now and continuing in the usual style!

England were in action against Ireland yesterday and there were lots of derogatory tweets about Lady Laineys new favourite, Michael Carberry. I stood my ground and refused to rise to the comments. England won with Morgan and Bopara making centuries.

Today sees continuing action around some of the counties with Yorkshire gearing themselves up for Friday when they are hosting England against Australia in the ODI series.

So lets have a quick look at the footy from last night

Woopdiflippingdo!  Sean Bean and I are happy bunnies ( judging by the pictures of him smooching with some young lady in the papers over the weekend he is a VERY happy bunny, Wedding cake Ahoy!!!).
The Blades won their match against Scunthorpe last night on penalties (5-3) sending them through to the next round of the Johnstone Paint trophy.

Oh deary me, looks like I jinxed Newton Aycliffe as they lost to Spennymoor in the FA Cup preliminary rounds. Final score 3-0. However West Auckland ( winners of the First World Cup and home of Granpa Robinson)  beat Harrogate Railway 4-2.

Tzarina Katerina has gone off on her latest jaunt and will be away for 25 nights. Now that makes for peace and quiet!
So without further ado, I will head off to super swanky Lady Lainey office to possibly give the boys a quiet day today ( due more to the fact that Job the Jolly appears to be on drugs as he is producing work quicker than I can sort it out!!!!)
This is going to have to be nipped in the bud!!!
