  • Week 166 – May 20th – Surrey v Kent – Part 1

    As the weather was decent today, we went to the Kia Oval for the 3rd day’s play of the county championship match between Surrey and Kent.

    Hopefully Kent can put up a fight in the second innings, with their England men Crawley and Billings at the wicket.

    Let’s see.

    Kent 186 of 65.2 overs (BG Compton 52, TJ Murtagh 4-40, ER Bamber 4-42) and 128 of 57 overs (TJ Murtagh 6-42) lost to Middlesex 229 of 58.1 overs (RF Higgins 71, WA Agar 4-60) and 86-1 of 24.3 overs by 9 wickets.

    Well we were out played by Middlesex and are struggling in the county championship.

    I hope its not going to be another team I follow that is relegated this year?

    As the match finished early we took a trip into the West End of London and saw Oxford Street flying the union flags for the King’s Charles III coronation next week.

    Also went back to the Italian restaurant Remo and had another good meal.

    I hope you have enjoyed this series of posting regarding the visit to Lords?

    Hopefully if the weather is decent and not as many rail strikes, you might see further posting from cricket matches.

    Finally got to go and see some cricket today, as the weather was decent and no rail strikes too.

    We went up to Lords today, for the third day of the county championship between Middlesex and Kent. Only certain parts of the ground are open, which I find strange.

    Kent were batting in their second innings and trying to save the match, could they?

  • Week 159 – March 31st – ICC survey

    This afternoon, I took part in an ICC survey, which appears to be about selecting logos for a cricket world cup.

    I must admit I thought one of the logos was a bit sexist, well see what they use.

  • Week 156 – March 9th – ESPNcricinfo

    After several emails to the contact I had at cricinfo and no responses.

    Today I decided to write to the editor of the website and see if I would get any feedback.

    What do you reckon?
