All going on in last cricket week.

Well cricket started at 10.30 am yesterday and their were stumps flying all over the place!.

Firstly one day champions Durham were in action against Warwickshire. The Bears seemed intent on taking revenge for Saturdays lost cup final and went in all guns blazing, luckily 'Bambi boy' managed to hit 10 so his run of ducks is out of the window at the moment. Ryan Pringle hit the top score of  63 which managed to pull Durham out of the poo and they were all out for 201.

In reply Warks were 77-1 at stumps. Methinks that Durham were still struggling with hangovers ( except Chris Rushworth who is off the sauce for this year).
Hopefully some good bowling form Durham today will settle it all down.

Over at Headingley the champions of the world Tykeshire seemed to have enjoyed their week off a little too much and looked to be struggling against Sussex.
Alex Lees was awarded his cap before start of play by Captain Andrew Gale who cannot play due to.........well lets just leave that stupid charge!!!!.
Yorkshire wobbled quite a bit at first and knocks from Lees and Root helped to get them back on track.
Peter Trego's three wickets for Somerset seemed to have knocked the stuffing out of Yorkshire who were 241-9 at stumps ( His Royal Ryanness hit 5).

Note to Somerset, please give your boys some paper to scribble on as they have made a real mess of Peter Trego's arm with the marker pens!!!!!

Over in Division 2 it is 'game on' as teams are all fighting for a place.
Worcestershire who are already going up, looked like they should have stayed down as they were bowled out by Essex for 84. Even Jack 'commando' Shantry couldn't saved the day!.
Essex were 198-3 at stumps.

Hampshire put on a good show and were 357 all out. Vince and Ervine both hitting centuries, 144 & 107 respectively.
Its going to go to the wire for the next promotion spot.

My day was much the same as usual, with the added bonus of realising that boys really are dim! Yes Trill Boy exceeded his usual stupidity re how you counted how old you are.
Hard to explain but funny when he found out he was wrong!!
 He claimed that if his daughter was 12 weeks old she was 3 months old. I said not strictly true as some months have 5 weeks. you would go from birth date to same date next month to count it.
I said 'well thats how normal rational people would count it'
Nope he was having none of it and after counting 52 weeks he concluded that I was right but you could see by his face that he believed he was right!!!
Oh joy it was just like sitting in a room with former Lord Lainey. stupid but always right!!!!!

By Trill Boys reckoning I will be 1092 weeks old soon!!!!
