Think we will come out and play like we did against New Zealand when we needed about 120/140 go all out and try to smash them in the first hour score around 60/75 runs…
 
It's a pity that Sky ditched The Verdict. I enjoyed that programme at the end of each day's play. But I suppose with Bob no longer with us, they felt it was the right thing to do, to draw a line under it.

Do you know I was just thinking that
Anyway we should have this won by lunch tomorrow
 
Just wondering...

Does anyone else still enjoy the cricket via Radio 4 Longwave in the garden with a nice cup of tea or a cold beer?

For me, those things combined is summertime in a nutshell.

I seem to have read somewhere recently that Longwave is being closed down because of budget cuts. Incorrect?
Edit: the Beeb on Longwave, I mean of course.

For years and years I listened to the old World Service on Shortwave, starting in Africa in ’75. Still a bit nostalgic about the way it would fade in and out as James Alexander Gordon read the results. Sometimes I felt like picking up the radio and smashing it — it would happen just as it came to the City result. It seemed as though the ionosphere was in cahoots with the Beeb to deprive me of my fix.
