Mid week already

So here we are at Wednesday and it seems that 'D Day' is about to be put back a week, if my voice mail messages are to be believed. Frustrating is one word I could use, stressful is another.

So yesterday I headed up to Brandon to watch a spot of 2nd XI cricket, something that I haven't done for a while. It was interesting to see a very young team ( apart from Rafiq). There is also a young man with very 'Ryanesque' hair!!

Back home to watch the ODI from lovely Trent Bridge,

Well that was some day for the Ebgland team, with the highest ODI score ever of 481 they completely thrashed the Aussies by 242 runs.With outstanding scores by  Alex Hales and Jonny B it was a great match to watch, if you were an England supporter that is.

News that Middlesex have loaned out Ollie Raynor to Hampshire, means that they are strengthening their bowling attack.

And talking Hampshire all things are geared to the start of play today.

Come on Yorkshire.
We can do this!

Other England news, Stokes is out of the T20 and the Curran kids are in the frame.
Stokes and Woakes are both omitted and are expected to miss the remainder of the of the 5 day series,
Stokes has a torn hamstring.
Was the big money of the IPL worth it?

Well England would probably say no, but Stokes bank manager will probably be rubbing his hands with glee.


I am heading off to continue to the clearing out of the office ahead of the other D Day and getting things into some sort of order.
Then tonight  I am off to the pub quiz.

Rock n Roll!
