Mostly .... Those were the Days (all 5 volumes!) but also Spanish Boot (or at least the upgraded Barcelona 84!)

Superb .... fell asleep in the chair listening at gone midnight and woke at 2am to stumble up to bed, then had a bloody radio interview at 7.40am to be up for!!

Still in night T shirt and need to shave and start the day!!!

[Brixtaan]

Just got in from work.Is today a wash-out?

 

[Marc]

yep:

The first day's play in the fifth Test between England and South Africa at Centurion has been lost to rain.

The officials hoped to start at 12pm and then 3pm local time but on each occasion the rain returned before the captains could get out for the toss.

The heaviest downpour late in the afternoon left pools of water on the covers at Supersport Park.

The forecast for Saturday onwards is better, and early starts on all four remaining days could provide a result.


BOOOOOOOOOOO there better be play tomorrow

Yep, played for Northants. I never rated him, thought he was a bit of a trundler myself. On a flat wicket should be no problem, but on this wicket I would fancy my chances !!

So basically they need to beat us in 4 days now, on a pitch that has yet to provide a positive result in 1st class games this season.

C'mon England, looking good for a 2-1 series win.

Hanse 'crooked' Crojne managed to get a positive result out of it last time around - and 2 innings were lost that time
