Re: The Cricket Thread
Good morning for England and perfect timing by me - pressed Go on the treadmill as Broad began his runup for the last wicket and then STOP as Cook chopped onto his stumps.
I forsee an afternoon of cricket on my laptop coming up

Re: The Cricket Thread
You'd expect so ... WI will fight but don't have either the batting or bowling firepower, especially in English conditions.
I listened to TMS until lunch and that was me out like a light.
I awoke to good news, especially for Strauss.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I was and still am hoping for a decent display from WI, especially as i thought they were fairly competitive against Australia. Unfortunately things not looking great so far but still early days and hopefully they can turn things around. They didn't get much practice in due to some poor weather. After growing up with that team they had in the seventies they will always have a soft spot in my cricketing heart.

Tough choices today, Championship playoff final, Jock cup final or a Cricket all afternoon followed by CL final
