The Hornet's Nest

Just seen the cricket result, how on earth did we pull that one out of the bag??? But we do have to rely on either Bangladesh or India losing

 

As a result, England can only be denied a quarter-final place if Bangladesh beat South Africa on Saturday, West Indies beat India the following day, and India's net run-rate remains better than Strauss' side.

does that help BB must have been some collapse!

 

Oh and 1100 for BB

 

ooh I'll have to try that when I get home. I won't bother attempting it on the mobile.

I need one to celebrate that tentative win! Lol

 

Woohoo, I've reached 100

 

..and we had two decision overuled on video evidence in the last few overs..... so all was going against us.

 

I can't believe how quickly Hornette has racked up the points. do you get better rates on here for being a lady???

 

wow 222-6 to 225 all out , Mr Swann saved our Bacon

 

quick observation....why do Norway and Yorkie have +signs at the end of their names at the bottom of the page. Is it because they are out of the country?

 

On the basis that the only England players apart from Trott and Swann showing much form are those who didn't play in the Ashes, perhaps they should select a greater number of less experienced players next time round. I suggest taking a look at some of the following in the nets:

John Major, my nephew Mark, Mick Jagger, our postman Ian (an accent like John Arlott's for those of you old enough to remember), Andrew Lloyd-Webber, Gary Lineker, my sister Sue (who bowls a decent underarm googly), Gary Neville...there, that's at least the nucleus of a decent team

 

Hendos loan at Rotherram extended, I am glad he is impressing them

 

I think you can read the plus as "and"

 

Lol Sandy, it's probably coz I talk too much. I very much doubt it's anything to do with being a lady lol

 

Glad you said it first - the temptation was getting too much

 

Right.......time to shut down and head home. Hopefully I'll get to pop in later for a couple of as I believe Thursday is now the new start to the weekend!!!

 

In the cricket it should also be pointed out that we can also be knocked out if the remaining West Indies game is a no result and Bangledesh win. WI's run rate is hugely better than ours.

Edit: Actually if both games are washed out/draws we go out. Unlikely but knowing our luck they get 6 months worth of rain in two days!

 

This is all a complete mystery to me. When you look at the place where it tells you what you get, it's all greek to me. Hey ho, never mind, it's just like every other "normal" conversation. Some people talk all the time, some people shout, some people you listen to and others you ignore. But the quality of conversation on here is great. Don't want it spoiled by people posting up their scores Whoops BB you did just that Never mind, we're all guilty.

Let's hope the end of the season isn't like the cricket eh?

 

We are through to the Quarter Finals UNLESS Bangladesh beat South Africa AND Windies get at least a point off India.

 

Welcome Bolton to the Senior's club

 

Have I got a glass of redwine or not is the question?



It maybe there if you look closely.
