So today sees the start of the race to avoid relegation and my man 'James Bond' is on covert operations but thinks that he can slope off to catch some cricket on Tuesday which will give me the info ringside, so to speak.
I will be tuned into the wireless as they are covering Somerset v Middx. That is a game that we need to keep an eye on.
Yesterday saw England beat the West Indies with a terrific knock from Moeen Ali, a 53 ball century no less!
Adil Rashid put an end to Chris Gayles innings on 94 with an outstanding direct hit, it was some game.
There is something of a scrap going on to top the Div 2 table, although for travelling Notts fans this week, the match in Sussex is more than just a game, as we bid farewell to Ryan last week, Notts fans are bidding farewell to their captain Chris read.
I know that there will be tears!
Twitter came alive yesterday with the news that the ECB are considering making test matched 4 days rather than 5.
I am surprised that they haven't suggested playing all our test in The UAE where they can be guaranteed sunshine with very little chance of rain ( although sunstroke and dehydration may be a problem).
Purists took to Twitter, I fear that we are now sick of the tampering with the game. We are heading for a cricket season of 'circus' cricket and one day matches if they have their way.
Imagine if the FA decided to make the Cup Final a 5 -a-side match?
I see an Emmeline Pankhurst situation arising at The Grace Gate if this goes ahead.
How many cricket fans do they speak to?
Are they over the age of 8 and not wearing a troll hat and making noise with the 'bangy' things?
Will the ticket prices be reduced?
Oh dear far too early to be on a rant!
Best go and head to work, where I can calm down.
Time to see the last week out.
