I've gone 1 place too high

I hate day nighters.... they go way past my bedtime

Today's matches showing why D/N matches rarely work in England.... win the toss, win the game comfortably. They could just have the toss and cut out the middle man

my players today seem hell bent on scoring as few points as possible

Duckett away with England. Didn't anticipate that. Yet Yorkshire's England bats were playing.

I didn't expect that either,,,, seems like a nonsense

true to form, the rain arrives, meaning everyone can sit around, picking their noses, until 10.30, before they pack it in for the day.

I think I'll update this tomorrow

knackered.... been a really long day

a sense of duty has always been my downfall

There have been occasions where the Queen has asked me for advice on this

I remember the last time she popped round for a cuppa and a chat, I told her to never get drunk in public, never let Philip go down to the kebab shop on his own, and never to let Charles be king

At least you're appreciated Durham. Much more than the head of state.
