« Faiths for peace | Main | Ernie Wise - was he actually funny? »
Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
As I parked up in Old Trafford this morning I was greeted by a Lancashire steward. Smart as a guardsman in his red jacket, he was casting an eye over Warwickshire's players indulging in their customary pre-play football game.
"Y'know," he mused,"The way they played yesterday I thought they might be practicing their cricket."
But is this to be the day the Bears bite back?

Collins Obuya top scored for Kenya this morning. Can he now bowl NZ out?

I hope not. It was watching him on telly in the last world cup that inspired Warwickshire to sign him! We could have him back!

He didn't even get a bowl - mind you, probably not enough on the board for him to play with.

Great gag from the steward. At least he's not one of those jobsworths.....

He said "practicing". I didn't pull him up on his error.
