Nearly there!

Ah its Thursday and we are nearly at the end of another week.

And what a week it has been, Essex stand on the brink of winning the County Championship and in doing so  have sent Warwickshire to certain relegation.

Ah its all to play for, in the race to drop to Division 2!!!


Middlesex were again thwarted by rain and they are now looking at going from the top to the bottom in one season.

How does it look for my boys?


Well after Rockerfeller CC put on a great batting display  closing on 592, Yorkshire staged something of a come back.

We are missing opener Adam Lyth who will be, as we speak looking forward to a full night of sleep after the birth of a beautiful baby girl, Ruby. An absolute little gem she looks too.

However the openers that we put in, K-C and Marsh managed to hold the fort until K-C went on 78.
Its fine we only trail by 421 runs!

Rain is the  thing that we need, and we have had so much of it, I wonder if there is any left?

Ben Coad who was missing from the starting line up came onto field as sub,and took a great catch, Jack Brooks missing for much of the season ( although often seen at T20 matches hob nobbing on the Western Terrace)took 5 wickets

we need points badly!

The match in Ireland against the West Indies was abandoned  and I am guessing that the remainder of the tour might be hit in the same way.

I however am heading out to face the cold today and hope that I manage to work my way through  my 'to do' pile.

Have a great day where ever you are.
