Hurrah!!!!

 

Well its finally here, I am sick of wishing the weeks away, but at the moment Friday is the best day of the working week for me. Being a half day  is an added bonus.

So yesterday was a proper crickety day with the RLODC final, at Trent Bridge!!!??? Well of course it was, because the final of the other game is at Lords on Saturday.

Pretty shitty when real cricket is thrown out of its usual home for Uncle Toms cricket circus. 

Durham were playing Glamorgan and although it was a very quick turn around from the semi's, 7000 faithful lovers of their county and real cricket went to cheer on their team.

I listened on the radio at work and then went home in a flurry of excitement. Neither of these teams were 'my' team ( although one was my Mums team), but that didn't matter, this was real cricket, 6 balls an over cricket.  no cheerleaders. Just cricket.

Brilliant game, Glamorgan won and the final Durham wicket went to a Michael Hogan, who like a fine wine is just getting better.

There always had to be a winner, but yesterday evening real cricket won.

So  to 'the other game', stick that in your DJ's booth, there's a poke in your dancing girls armpits, and all the razzamatazz just hides a very poor imitation of something so good.

Oh get me on a little rant so early on  a Friday!!!

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend
