Wood injured yet again, I see. I love the guy; he's seriously quick. And he seems like a really nice bloke. But there's no getting away from it, he's made of glass.

Watching Lancashire capitulate at the Oval.

Just given up with Bohannon’s wicket.

It could be a really positive outcome though. Josh Hull looks a genuinely exciting bowler.

6’7” left armer.

But untried.

And yes; I know. How does a player get experience if he's not picked?

The reason Jimmy was retired was to try new options.

Hull is really raw, but looks decent from what I’ve seen.

It’ll not be fun sitting up in the party stand in the rain showers and 40mph gusts of wind!

Did a similar day a couple of years back and it was pretty chilly.

Block D wasn't too bad on Wednesday and or Thursday, though glad I wasn't in the Hilton getting the duvet off the bed because of the wind lol.

Have you ever seen a lobster down a pint?

Glad it wasn’t too bad. I won’t forget my experience a couple of years back. It was Baltic and I don’t feel the cold too much!

Having frequented many a cricket match, I’ve probably seen most forms of animal down pints! Although possibly not a snake, but they generally appear after tea.

Bangladesh about to win their first ever test match in Pakistan.

A very strange match. Pak declared their first innings at 440 odd for 6 with not out batters going well. They then conceded a 100+ first innings lead and capitulated for next to nothing in the second innings. Bangla knocked off the handful of runs required for a 10 wkt win.
All above board I’m sure.

All over at the Oval, only Matty Hurst has acquitted himself well.
