Not sure where to post this, but suspect cricket followers (and definitely Tramore) will appreciate. Just discovered a really good wine, Barefoot Merlot, a Californian Gold Medal winner at the excellent price of £5.50- £7.00 at most supermarkets. It really is a very nice house red for daily guzzling. Which I am attempting to restrict to 5 days a week.* Come on England. * I should stress that I have not been drinking pre midday at home, just saw the bottle from last night.
I often buy that stuff - two for £9 at my local mini-mart. They do a very drinkable sauvignon blanc too. Looking forward to this afternoon's game. Their spinners might give us some problems as you say, but it only needs two of our top eight to come off - plus we have a couple of good spinners ourselves. An England win.
That's the one I usually buy as a day to day palatable and easy going red. The Mrs likes the Barefoot Pinot Grigio which is miles ahead of the other PG's in that price range. We currently have a deal with our wine shop, he gives us six bottles for thirty quid. England lose the toss and have been put into bat first.
Thanks for sharing that lads! Dare I put up a fine wine, beer and other drinks thread without being accused of poncery? Might get Wubba posting again..... Malbec another fine session wine.
There saying 160 is par on here,think they'll do well to get that.Anything over 150 would be a fighting total,i think !
What an innings from Butler! Good to see Morgan back in the runs too. 171 looks a pretty good total on this pitch. Could be a close finish!
Stokes hits the last ball for 6 ! 171 -4,Buttler 66 off 37 balls.If we bowl decently and get rid of Dilshan early,that should be good enough !
Agreed but Morgan looks out of touch,his timing is all off.I think we might of got 10-15 more if Stokes had of come in a couple of overs earlier !
