Thanks for that. Hopefully he'll still be with us next season.

 

Good to hear. I think Ramirez will do even better in his second season here. Had a lot to contend with..couple of injuries, settling in and a bereavement.

 

England 221-5 with 7 overs to go. Not enough on the board...our bowlers will have to go some and we have no Swann or Finn.

 

213/5 actually.

 

213-6

 

213/6 now. Oh dear oh dear.

 

England had a plan to keep their wickets and then hit out. They kept the wickets, but the wheels came off after that. Although Trott seemed slow, we were just starting to hit out when his wicket went...that may hae been the turning point.

 

Bresnan is starting to smack the bowling around.

 

270 is very reachable.

 

And Bopara launches one into the crowd.

 

Almost! England reach 269-6 off their 50 overs. Nice partnership between Bopara and Bresnan.

 

269=6. Not a massive total, but gives the bowlers some wriggle room. We need early wickets.

 

Never fear...I just started watching for want of anything else to do on a rain-drenched Saturday morning, and that means that this will be wrapped up within twenty minutes.

 

Raining? It's lovely on the Oyl o'Wight.

 

Must say I'm getting a bit bored of all the talk about getting a female driver in F1...

 

Wicket: Kent 185/5. Much needed wicket for Hampshire.

 

Aus 35-1 after 10 overs. Decent start for England.

 

Australia 47/2. Big wicket of Watson - lbw Bresnan or caught by Cook off Bresnan. Cricinfo are implying both!

 

Susie Wolff ?

 

How is that only the second French Open that Serena Willams has won!? She's been so dominant for so long.
