Woooohoooo it's Monday!

no I am not really excited about it being Monday, As it is icy outside and snow is being forecast, and I have a pile of work to do when I arrive in the office AND the suitcase in the hallway is not looking like it may be used as another site manager hit the road on Friday..............................I think that March is going to be a very busy month!

And so yesterday after the debacle of England playing rubbish, came the onslaught on Twitter to bring back 'he who must not be named in the blog'. This was fuelled by Colin Graves the new ECB chief saying that he wouldn't rule out having 'him' back in the squad but first he needs to find a county to play for.  I am sure that lots of counties would want him, but do they have doorways big enough for his head to fit through, let alone a dressing room big enough for his ego and 11 other players!!!!.

I personally think that if we are looking to have a South African play for England can we at least approach A B de Villiers????????

Funnily enough, the Italian cricket coach Joe Scuderi made a good point about 'he who must not be named in  the blog'.

  ' He is not the Messiah, he is a very naughty boy!!'

Well it made me laugh!!!!


Eoin Morgan in true Captain style blamed the bowlers for the poor show by England. Well there's nothing like supporting your team.!!! Bet he cannot wait to get out to the IPL!!! not long now by the looks of it!

Sad news from Sussex that Rory Hamilton-Brown  has retired from cricket after picking up a wrist injury which has not responded to surgery and rehab. I loved it when he played it always made the announcers at the ground stumble over his name, along with Middlesex' Toby Roly Poly  ( Roland -Jones).
Sad to see him go and wish him well.

Everything in the Chateau is gearing up for the early hours of tomorrow when Ireland take on South Africa.

I have t'wireless set to 'cricket channel' and I have everything crossed.

Well come on they have shown real spirit something lacking in the England camp, and they have played some blinding cricket too.

 Oh well off down the A1 now!
