Tests and runs

Well it was the start of the first test in the West Indies yesterday and also on going County championship matches.

What was occurring I hear you all cry!!!

Well........deep breath and here we go..........

England slumped to 34-3 against WI and it looked as if all was lost. Now you know that I am not the greatest ( if a ) fan of ' the man with no lips' Ian Bell, but I have to say that I would rather have him hit a century and pull England out of the poo than contemplate having the 'problem child' back in the squad.

Bell hit 143 to bring England back to the fore in. Not forgetting that little Joey Root also hit 83.

Captain Cook, Gary Ballance and Jonathon Trott fell cheaply showing that the top order is not that stable.
So as they start today with 5 men back in the hutch, lets see how they get on.

Besty home county and champions of the world, Yorkshire were in batting, and Worcs made  quick work of  two of the top order however by close of play little (not) Timmy Bresnan and His Royal Ryanness were batting and need today to put on 13 runs to bring the scores level. Timmy is on 78!!!!! ( flipping heck Bressy lad) and HRR is on 10.

Jack Shantry ( the man with no underwear!) was on form and took 4 wickets. I do have a bit of a soft spot for Mr Shantry but will not be best pleased if he takes the wicket of the 'Top Boy'.

Former besty home county of Durham were  seemed to have taken the upper hand in their match against Somerset and Captain Colleywobble was 109 not out at close. that after taking 5 wickets. However we all know him to throw hissy fits now and again and I foresee 'injury' very soon if things do not go his way!


And hissy fits have been occurring in Super swanky Lady Lainey office, I had noted an air of 'forced' friendliness with the boys and so finally got the run down yesterday............................and they say that girls are prima donnas!!!!

Wooooohoooo I appear to be working with the worlds worst!!! Strops and temper tantrums had been taking place whilst I was in the heady heights of Headingley, followed by the silent routine.

BOYS!!!!!!

Oh well at least they are all talking now.....................maybe a little too much.

So now without further ado I will head off to said office and swill coffee and water ( from out newly installed water dispenser) and look very jolly pretty for 7 hours whilst keeping an eye on the score from Worcester.


Have a great Tuesday.
