new week, what will this one hold?

And so a new week begins and the England team will be hoping that it is the start of  a better one for them.

Yesterday they were given a master class in how to chase down 350.

England set the bar seemingly  high for the India team after cracking knocks from Roy and Root  (73 & 78 respectively).
And it was all looking favourable for England as India sank to 63-4.
Captain Morgan had that 'smirk' on his face, you know the one, not sure if he is smiling or has wind!

However  Kholi and Jadhav had other ideas and with knocks of 122 and 120 they were steering India to the fourth highest ever run chase win.

it was some game.
Captain M said we need to look at the bowling ahead of next game. Lady Lainey says lets look at the Captain (part timer thast he is).

Down under Australia were beaten by Pakistan who levelled the series.
It was Pakistan's first win in Australia for 12 years.
The 3ed ODI takes place on Thursday in Perth.

Today sees my Strikers in action and they need to win their next  2 matches to survive.
They lost 'Big' Billy to Australia but they have Michael Neser and Chris Jordon and Kieron Pollard so I have high hopes for them.

Come on boys you have not played to your full potential this season. Pull out the stops and get winning.


The remainder of my Sunday  was spent knitting and chilling out.
 And after a long lie in, I didn't even have a nap!

And today, well I could do with a lie in and am not looking forward to the week ahead. I fear it is going to be a tough one.

Until tomorrow.
