Another dark morning, but I suppose waking up at 4am didn't help!
However dark it is outside there is lots of crickety news to bring some light to Thursday morning.
Firstly, after an outstanding win by The West Indies, Chris Gayle has announced that he wants to play Test cricket again. Due to the W I cricket board policy that players could not play in International matches if they have not featured in the domestic format, Gayle has not been in the side since 2014.
He has however been given a temporary amnesty and may feature in the T20 matches next month.
Do they need him in the Test squad?
Well I'm not sure as there are new stars in the making within the team.
Gayle has been travelling the world as a T20 'gun for hire' in the last few years.
After much rumour it was announced that Otis Gibson would join South Africa as Head Coach, which leaves the England bowling coach job up for grabs. As I said a couple of weeks ago, Jason Gillespie is again tipped for the roll.
To be honest he is rumoured to be in for any job at the moment.
Will he come?
My gut feeling is no, but you never know what will happen.
He could be in for a bigger job with Australia after they lost their first test to Bangladesh.
I am sure that rumours will be starting soon.
Rain frustrated those teams in the London area as Surrey and Middx spent the morning playing Buckeroo in the dressing room before the days play being called off without a ball being bowled.
Essex managed 55 mins of play before they were in the dressing room playing Kerplunk and then heading home.
Here in the North East of Blighty we appear to have had the best weather.
now there's a pleasant change
Although saying that we have grey skies here this morning.
I am leaving early as I am going to try to beat the temporary traffic lights at Harrogate Village....................
