With Wolves back in the Premier League, I figured I’d try this again, and hope my golden midfield works wonders…
Fantasy achieved today at the Kennington Oval. Root 125, Cook 147, weather good, 101 overs so far, 356 for 6, plus a first innings lead of 40. England lead the series 3-1 and are in a good position in this game. Add 5 penalty runs to the England score because India’s wicketkeeper Pant spilled the ball which hit the helmet. Leading scorer in the series Joss Buttler, who should move up the batting order for future international matches.
Sri Lanka next (away).
England declare at 423 for 8. India need 464 to win; that would be a fantasy.
Jimmy Anderson needs 3 wickets to pass Glen McGrath’s record.
Remember what Charles Kennedy said?
At different levels of federalism he supported different sports.
At golf he supported Europe.
The bookies’ favourite for the Ryder Cup 2018 was USA.
Actual winners Europe, in Paris, today.
Are the players affected by patriotism? You betcha, just ask them.
“On constitutional reform he was a long-term supporter of full home rule for Scotland within a federal United Kingdom within a federal Europe.”

Imagine you have become a sports journalist wanting an F1 interview. Lewis Hamilton has won his fifth world championship this year, only Michael Schumacher has done more and he has retired from F1. Lewis is on pole today, again, and was asked whether he is happy.
F1 driver Kubica crashed a rally car and suffered serious injuries. (F1 cars are safer nowadays). It seemed extremely unlikely that he would re-enter Formula 1. The Williams team boss was asked whether family history (her father) affected the decision. She replied that she had not been asked that question before (code for NO).

I keep recalling being told by my line manager in the Prison Service that we would have a talk about ‘what is important in life’.
I responded spontaneously “A test match against Australia!”
From elsewhere in the room another line manager said “Not that important!!”

Voting numbers should be treated the same way.
Remember the Orpington bye-election?
Or the Eastbourne bye-election?
Or the Ribble Valley bye-election? The PM’s memoirs state that he was advised that they could not lose,
We said “Let’s give their new Chairman an early bath.”

Crawley has passed 250 not out, for England, he also plays for Kent
England are 477 for 4 at 16.16
The first byes have just gone on the scoreboard
At 246 not out Geoffrey Boycott was dropped for slow scoring (not entertaining enough).
Michael Vaughan (former Ashes winning captain) says ‘do this more often’,
against Australia,
against India
Boycott also played for Yorkshire
Will England declare?
