Wednesday already

Here we are mid week already and that means that it is only 2.5 days to the weekend!

However lets not dwell on what's to come, lets look at yesterday!


and what a day it was.

With England going into the final day in a strong position, it was looking like a great days cricket, and it was!

With a record breaking two centuries in two innings  at Headingley by Shai Hope, the tables turned in the favour of The West Indies, who were looking like a very different team from last week.
an unfortunate near miss by Kraiff Brathewaite (95), saw runs racking up as the Caribbean crew  raced towards the winning line.

And they did, with 5 wickets in hand!.

Five days of play at Headingley, a win by  The Windies, setting this series up nicely.

Who would have thought this, yesterday morning, I bet the rum was flowing last night!

In the county championship, Middlesex made a recovery to take a bit of the shine off Surrey.

Notts continued to dominate in their chase to win everything that they can this season!

Will they be successful on Saturday?
well taking my Hampshire head off for a moment, I would say yes!

And I know someone who will be there, cheering them on like a mad thing!

I am hoping to get to the West Indies T20 match in the middles of next month, which should be interesting to see, if the 'big guns' arrive for the match.

However today it is back to the grindstone.

Ah to be in France where your choice is go to sit by the river and read or go to the bar!

Well hopefully it won't be long until I am doing that too.

have a brilliant day.
