big cricket week ahead!

So it's a huge cricket week ahead for I Lady Lainey. Firstly my Tykes trundled down to Nottingham in the hopes that on Friday they will be county champions. It is also a milestone passing week for a couple of the players at the players at Tykeshire.
'Little' Timmy Bresnan requires two wickets to take his career total to 400, Jonny Bairstow is playing in his 100th First class match and needs 40 runs for a career best of  6000. Whilst his Royal Ryanness needs to take 47 wickets in this match to get his FC wicket haul to 700 ( I sort of think that is not going to happen!!!).

So hopefully it will be a Top Tyke, Cup lifting run/ wicket fest. I have got everything crossed!


Durham are at former home of I, Lady Lainey and are playing to keep in division one. These boys have to pull out all the stops to keep themselves in the top league for next season.
We all know that they have a One Day final to take part in next week but this really is most important!

'He who must not be named in the blog' took to twitter yesterday to state that ' I was only going to play for @surreycricket if we had a realistic chance of gaining promotion. Now that's gone, I'm not playing'. Hmmmmm what a super sportsman! What a role model for young cricketers across the land! What a total pile of dog poop! As you know I am not a fan of the man but I think that he has shown his true colours.
Surrey have been very gracious in response to this stating that they are giving young players a chance to play and gain experience.

And now ' he who must not be named in the blog' will be forever relegated to the  recycle bin. So endeth the Tuesday rant!.


Other news.................................Dan Dan cowboy draughtsman is back!!! and already is having problems with his knees ( 'it must be the stairs'), has a headache, not sure if he can make it into the office for 8am as his bus pass doesn't kick  in until 9.30am!!! (wtf get the flaming Merc out of the garage). Oh yes I had forgotten the delights of having Dan in the office. So we have a months work for him.................think I had better include him in the secret Santa!


One last Tykey tale. T20 man of the season Aaron Finch has been named Australias T20 captain after George Bailey stepped down from the role.Good luck Aaron.


And so the reckless, life living,cricket following, lots of great friends, fun party girl that is Lady Lainey  is off to the office.

Hope Daddy Rushworth remembers to send me updates on , cake, ice cream, weather and of course cricket.

have a fabby cricket day. I am making the most of the last few weeks!
