Nah, I've got system updates to apply here, and I can only do them after official knocking off-time. :comp:

Goddim!

All out for 256. England need 32 to win. The only question is can they knock 'em off before close of play?

And Notts are 46 without loss - so it is a good day for cricket in my house! :mrgreen:

Well that's that. England wrapped things up without dropping a wicket. 1-0 in the series. Disappointing Windies from all accounts. :nono:

And your input into this thread would be MOST welcome El. :tup: Especially since we will be equal on points with your lot at the top of the CC league if we hold out against Somersetshire.

Woohoo :woot: Notts go top. I thought the bonus points had already been added - but no!

It's funny, I can't get excited by our domestic competition. I have an automatic but tepid allegiance to the Bushrangers (the Victorian team), but little emotional charge...

Would it be unsportsmanlike to snigger a bit about the once-mighty Aussies being knocked out of the 20-20 world cup? Probably.

Am I going to do it anyway? You bet!!

Win the ashes? :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious:
