Test Thursday

And so it began...............with KP being hailed the best England player ever ( but he ain't even English and what about Sir Loin of Beef????). Prior was declared fit to keep wicket.
Australia won the toss and decided to bat. Stuart Broad took 4 wickets ( as of 6.13am UK time) and Australia are currently  201-6.

Little Joey Root has been dropped down to 6th spot with the wonderful Michael Carberry opening with Cook., and of course Bell is in there too.

Geoff Boycott declared that it was a good batting pitch, but I have to say that I forgot to put on 't 'wireless' last night as I had put an extra duvet on the bed and was asleep in no time. So had to get up and listen this morning and also read about what had happened whilst I was in the flipping land of nod.

Sad to hear that the home fans booed Stuart Broad when he took to the field, I, Lady Lainey do not think that this is cricket and although not a super huge Broad fan, think that this will only serve to fire him up, which in fact it did!.



So the first day is nearly over and it is all to play for. by tomorrow morning, we should be getting more interesting reading ( and writing)


Some quick news from Bramall Lane, the youth team played last night in their FA Youth Cup, and put 9 goals past Worcester City!!! Yes it was 9-0 to the 'Little Blades'. Flipping heck  that was some match. They will now taking on Bolton


News from the Towers is that I didn't manage to get the decorations out of the garage but will be dong this, this week at some point.

Sad news that Lord Christophe has thrown the towel in at Uni. Can't believe he didn't see it through until Xmas. However he thinks he knows what he is doing and once again, time will tell.The othermans grass is always greener!!!!


And so with torrential rain lashing down outside and the Orange afro, looking more like a birdsnest every day, I am donning my thermals and heading off down the A1 to super swanky Lady Lainey office, to see what excitement today holds. Well after yesterdays 'pub quiz', balloon art and Test Match game, what on earth is there left to do............................................maybe some work!!!!
