Worcester Lose to Holland!

As a lifetime Worcestershire supporter (and a huge Dolly fan, old guys like me will remember him), I am flabbergasted that we lost to the Netherlands!
This is not right!

Sporting Congratulations

Firstly may I congratulate the England Test Team on a splendid victory over India (England v India score card). This win places England at the top of the ICC test standings (however accurate you think these may be). It is unfortunate that India have played so poorly  in this series so far (poor warm up, too much T20 cricket in the IPL, series too close to the one in the West Indies - take your pick on what you think the reason is). Well, congrats again to England for topping the ICC test standings.

Also congratulations to Aston Villa for playing out a boring 0 - 0 draw against Fulham. At least they didn't loose!

Cricket - Well Done England

May I congratulate England on a great day's play in the 3rd test vs India. While we would have done better if we had been able to get M S Dhoni out a little earlier. However, not to loose any wickets in the first 25 overs was very good.

3rd Test Scorecard 

5th day - 1st Test

If you have been unable to get into Lords today, you may like to follow this link to the BBC / TMS commentary.

I probably won't post again until the end of the match.

Congratulations ...

.. to Matt Prior and Stuart Broad for their play in the 4th Day of the Test. And also to Mark Cavendish for winning the Green (points) Jersey in the Tour de France! Oh, and to Lewis Hamilton for his win in the German GP.
