To work, or not to work.....

Well it's Monday and the sun is shining although the sky looks a bit 'heavy', so the decision is ' Do I take the full day off or do I just head off up to Chester le Street  at lunchtime?'.

Well I am up and dressed so I might as well go and crack the whip for 3.5 hours and then go and meet El Presidenti and The First Lady after that.


Yesterday Middlesex  were batting and  lost Sam Robson before I really had time to digest my ginger biscuits and coffee, he make a quick 26 but was back in the pavilion pretty sharpish, which, on a very cold Sunday, was probably the place to be. However  half centuries from Gubbins, Malan, and Voges  put the visitors in a strong position going into day 2.
I had a wander around the ground with The President and First Lady and then retired back to the warmth of the Pavilion with them, leaving Mr Funky to freeze on the boundary with Janey and Mick.

By tea the sun had come out and it was (only) slightly warmer.

Today I will be well wrapped up I can tell you!

More importantly over in Edgbaston, Warwickshire and Yorkshire had a coin toss and Galey was on form  and elected to bat.

Not a great start for them as they slumped to 85-4 and I slumped further down under my blanket!
 However Gary Ballance and TLJL hit half centuries to put Yorskhire in a stronger position.
Ahh yes that was great news...........................and then they went off for rain!

And then they came back out again.......................... and then there were off for bad light.

They did however end the day  having racked up 177-4.

Today I would love to see TLJL hit a century!

'Come on my Yorkshire boys!'

'Sad' news filtered through that 'He who must not be named in the blog' had torn a  muscle, surprisingly not the one in his 'biltong hole', but one in his calf.
And then twitter was flooded with pictures of him in a wheelchair!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

When His Royal Ryanness tore his calf last year in the opening match of the season, he limped off, and then came bat to bat with a runner!!!!

What a flipping drama queen that SA is!!!!! Anything for publicity!!!!

And now I am off on a rant, so looks like the office boys are going to be in for it this morning, they will be glad to see the back of me at Midday!.


Happy Monday


YORKSHIRE ,YORKSHIRE, YORKSHIRE!!!!
