Day 2 in the big county house

So on a cold, dark, wet day in September, s I sat in my office wondering what the day would bring, it was without a doubt, the best news that my boys got the points that they needed to keep them safely in Division 1,

With some outstanding bowling from 'old timers' Brooks and Patterson, it was even better to see the  the younger squad members doing their thing!
Coad and Karver taking 2 wickets a piece.
The future is looking very bright.
The Champs were bowled out for 227 and lets hope the weather plays fair today for some batting points.

Sad to see HRR on drinks duties though.

Warwickshire and Hampshire were affected by rain, and Middlesex were not happy with the state of the wicket at Taunton.

It was some day!

News came through that Graham Onions is doing a 'Roland' and leaving HMS Durham.
His statement did not make good reading and begs the question, do players automatically think there is a coaching position for them when they come to the end of their career?

The club look to be ending the season once again in an odd position
It is not happy reading.

However back to today, lets hope that there is no rain and that all teams can get a game.

I have a bag of 'stuff' to be dropped off for the people that have recently arrived in the town to live a safe and happy life,and also a bag of 'stuff' to drop off at the charity shop, I have just cleared out the wardrobe of my summer clothes ( most of which never even got worn), as the winter coats make an appearance once again.

Well time to hit the road.

happy Tuesday and for those of you with a delivery, happy chutney chomping
