Cranes is his latest obsession. Expect a full account of all cranes on the skyline from his commentary perch.

I went into the Media Centre at Lords last year. All I can remember seeing is grass!

Ian Bonham was there?
Seeing Ted Dexter on the screen reminded that our school library had a novel co-written by him called Test Kill, or Testicle as we used to call it.

1. Good luck to Michael Carberry in his fight against Cancer.
2. Oddly disinterested in the game yesterday, not really sure why?
3. Going to be hard to win this with only 3 bowlers, time must be running out for Finn, and Ali despite the useful runs at 8.
4. I may have been wrong in denouncing Woakes as 'bits and pieces county filth' when he got the call up back in May. Delighted to say he seems to have stepped up - and multiple times since as well, good on him.

I am still in denial about Woakes. I too had him down as a county trundler who could hold a bat. If he keeps performing, I might admit I was wrong.
Last time I remember that happening was with Alec (quick 20 then slash and gone) Stewart

Poor Carbs, he's had so much bad luck with this health.
