A sight not often seen in cricket

[Montreal Wanderer]

Lancashire now top of the table.

[Worthy4England]

Aye tis good has been seen a few times recently - just that last game to go now.....fingers crossed - 43 years and I've not seen em win one yet

[TANGODANCER]

Ah, the glorious leather on willow. Actually saw Len Hutton and Cyril Washbrook in action and I had the autographs of Weekes, Worral, Ramadin and Valentine (where the hell do those things disappear to? Same place as my autographed copy of "Goals Galore" I suppose)

Well, if your house was anything like our house, Tango, then they'll have been flung out by your mother just as you were in the middle of that period of indifference!

I know. My period of indifference started early; she threw my stuffed elephant and wooden train out.

I saw them play too - of course I hated Hutton being Yorkshire. I remember a trivia question coming up in 1956 when he was knighted.

There have been a number of batsmen knighted before Sir Leonard, but can you name a bowler who was so honoured?

I expect my - (non autographed) copy went to the same place!!

Though I am sure mine was a second hand copy (at least), so it may have been passed on to another up & coming fan .

Ooooh, that's a bit cheeky, is that! (In the voice of Boycott!)

Had me thinking for ages before I had to give up and look!!!

A sight not often seen in cricket

Speaking of which, they have now followed MOTD and brought in a woman commentator for the 20/20 world cup as I found out while watching the England game yesterday.

Now I have no problem with Woman commentators if they can do the do, but when you hear things like:

"He made room for himself and sent a drive torwards the boundary. Unfortionatly Flintoff was there and has caught the ball...............that means he's out"

CRRRRRRRRRINGE!!!!!!

I heard her, yesterday. Surely it's the same woman isn't it? She was absolutely dreadful.

That'll be her!

[Bruce Rioja]

No, I meant the woman doing the cricket and the woman on MotD are one and the same, no?

[Soldier_Of_The_White_Army]

No, she sounded foreign to me.

Ah, a Sluffy's date from before his time!

[Nozza]

Only because the ECB pitch inspectors bottled an investigation into the Blackpool pitch. Fucking farce playing a game in which the title could have been decided at an out pitch which has a notoriously bad wicket.

Should have been docked 20 points.

Er... welcome back Nozza - haven't seen you for a while.

Shut up you knob

You've just turned over Sussex on a 'sporting' pitch

Yu've had good season on the back of seam bowlers and if you had owt about you, you'd have challenged Lancs on the seamer friendly strip

Fact is, 'you got whupped'

Now, stop bleating

[Montreal Wanderer]

If we win it will be the first time in my lifetime I suspect (if memory serves - we might have tied for the title but not won it outright). I doubt even Tango can remember us winning it all (Cyril notwithstanding).
