Doesn't look like there will be any play today like. Bet Elvis is happy!

We've won 2 tickets in a Northern Echo competition.

For today banghead

We're still going up, there is also 6 Bottles of the sponsors Wolf Blass Sparkling Wine to collect. :grin:

Enjoy!

We didn't get the wine, apparently it is being sent to us directly. But we did get our tickets swapped for tomorrow, result. :grin:

Result!

The sun is out now. I'm going tomorrow so I hope there is no more rain and the pitch has dried out.

Then we can unleash KP & Colly on them in the first two sessions and Onions to bowl them out in the third.

Forecast isn't brilliant but should get a decent day's play in. Get them 6 down by Lunch then finish them off this afternoon. I reckon we'll need to bat again though. :uhoh:

It was a bit chilly at Riverside yesterday but a certain Poolie Bunkerite's Vimto
warmed me up! It was even warmer in t' Members Bar :wink:

Poor crowd and atmosphere and no real urgency in the play it was
like Nettlesworth v Kimblesworth

Obafemi Obsession · **Posted:** Mon May 18, 2009 3:23 pm

We won! POP. :razz:

Warwick Hunt · **Posted:** Mon May 18, 2009 4:04 pm

Finished them off quicker than I expected. The West Indies didn't have the trophy long.

Perhaps we should do that in future. Three Test series, all played in May.
