How the **** did that happen?

Is there another World Cup T20 in a couple of months? What it feels like…..

 

What a great watch that was. India thoroughly deserved to win for their performance throughout the tournament, unbeaten and some incredible bowling and that catch by Surya Kumar Yadav will be the most memorable for me. Congratulations India

 

Just goes to show how some media would have a whine even if they didn’t watch cricket.

From the SMH…..

 

I don’t remember many people thinking it was unfair, people who know cricket just thought he was stupid

 

On my way to Lord's for Jimmy's farewell. Not raining yet!

 

No rain expected, I’m there tomorrow

 

Win the toss and bowl. Jimmy'l have 3 or 4 before lunch.

 

Big cheer as Stokes says we'll have a bowl. Then the sun came out!

 

Ah.... summer officially starts at 11 o'clock....

 

I must have missed the transformation which turned Chris Woakes into an opening bowler. Presumably the conditions mean the ball is moving a bit? It’s very humid up here in Warwickshire.

 

Good start from Atkinson 2-2 (4) not bad for debut

 

Tough conditions to be batting and ball hooping all over the place..... proper Test cricket.....

 

Stunning catch by Brook. Atkinson looking good.

 

From 34/0 after 10 overs to 46/3 from 23 overs.... England putting the squeeze on.....

 

How much is a pint at Lords Strolls?

 

£7.50, about average really.

 

This time last week we discovered the sub £1 pint. £7.50 sounds quite pricey.

Have a great day mate.

 

This Atkinson lad looks decent..... 3 wickets in 4 balls and a 5 fer on debut at Lords..... wow

 

Everyone is taking wickets apart from Jimmy, I always knew he was overrated lol
