Is it a match winning F(ryan)day?

After all the drama and excitement of Wednesday,at Lords, yesterday was actually  back to some sort of normality. Sort of................

...................the morning session started with The Headband warrior and His Royal Ryanness having a bit of a bat....................and flipping heck,Jacky hit 50, he had obviously had, had his 'Weetabix' for breakfast. HRR hit 28 and there last wicket stand of 78 took My Tykes to a total of 299.

I was not able to get any commentary on the match and so I was relying on Twitter updates.

In between this Dame Didi tipped up in Ladylaineyworkville and we went out to have a something to eat, very civilised, before she headed back off home to Chateau Didi and went to bed to sleep off lunch!!
No chance of me to sleeping off lunch as I was trying to get 'stuff' sorted in Super swanky Lady Lainey office and keep up with all things that  were happening at Lords.....................

...................which were not going to the plan that I had for  'LLLS' ( Ladylaineyslotshire as they have been renamed in Chateau de Champions).

Flipping Middlesex decided to make a stand and despite losing 5 wicket, they decided to 'dig in'.

By close of play they were 274-5  81 runs ahead.

El Presidenti of Middx CCC  was texting me during the game and much I want to be there today it is totally impossible.

Well Lady Lainey expects that those wickets have gone before lunch today. #justsaying

And hopefully Captain Gale will be able to lift the Trophy before going  back to the hotel for a couple of sherry shandies!!! 

Today also sees  Headingley coming to life for the ODI, where England really need to win, although I think that Australia will be looking to wrap up the series as champs.

Hopefully we can get through this one without any 'mishaps'

Well best head off, lots to do, people to see and boys to crack the whip at.

Oh yes and I will today be drinking copious amounts of coffee whilst waiting for the Yorks results, shouting at boys who dare to invade my office and looking jolly smug and pretty for 7 hours.

It's F(ryan)day, Yorkshire are champions, what better way to start the weekend???
