Woooohoooo It's F(ryan)day

Oh thank goodness it is F(ryan)day, I am fair knackered and have been having terrible lapses of memory ( 'It's your age' Job the Jolly, 'you won't see my age if you continue like that!' Lady Lainey). Losing my purse, losing youngest monster child nephews birthday card!, oh well a bit of napping over the weekend should put that right.

Well his Royal Ryanness managed to take a wicket yesterday, but besty home county of Yorkshire were not sending bails flying in their usual fashion. However big congratulations to Surrey's Dom Sibley who became the youngest Surrey player to score a century. The A level student was given permission to have miss four days of school to play in the match and really made a show of it. So just to make his mark completely  he finished the day on 220 not out. Wow that beats double maths any day!!!
Amla the greatest batsman in the world was settling himself in until his Royal Ryanness decided enough was enough and took his wicket, but not before he had racked up 151 runs. What a day of cricket.

However real praise goes to the champions of the world Durham, who staged a monumental comeback. I had been under the impression that it would be over by lunch and they would all be snoozing on the coach on the way home by early afternoon. NOT TO BE! Keaton Jenning and Michael Richardson decided that tired and wanting holidays or not, they were going to go out in a blaze of glory. And that is what they did. Both hitting centuries for Durham.


Durham closed 380-7

My theory on this is the the 'old dears' serving tea and cake had been very nice to them so they wanted to stay another day.

Else where in division one, poor Derbyshire were relegated despite a valiant try. Former home of besty bowler friend in the world, JJ, put on a great show in the last matches of the season. However it was not to be. Next Season boys.

Former besty home county in the south, Hampshire and also former home of best bowler friend in the whole world, JJ, pulled off their last win of the season with a great haul of wickets from Matt Coles. All 10 of them!!! They beat Essex by an innings and  31 runs.

So as I head out to super swanky Lady Lainey office today, and hope that I can stick to my diet i.e no McDonalds big breakfast or bacon and egg butty. I wish all teams playing today the very best of luck.


Roll on 4.30pm and Le Weekend!!!!.........................

................oh yes and a glass of wine
