Cricket lovely cricket, at Lords where I saw it ...

Or to quote the whole song ...

Cricket, lovely cricket,
At Lords where I saw it;
Cricket, lovely cricket,
At Lords where I saw it;
Yardley tried his best
But Goddard won the Test.
They gave the crowd plenty fun;
Second Test and West Indies won.
With those two little pals of mine
Ramadhin and Valentine.

A truly great calypso written by Lord beginner to celebrate the 1950's victory of the West Indian team over England at Lords. Still seen by some as the single greatest moment in the history of West Indies cricket. That was I say until Mike Gatting got his come uppance back in the 90's and Brian's majestic innings of 375, remember that one Cooksley ... ???

Anyway, the point of all this? Well the latest test series kicks off today, over in Jamaica. And would you believe it anyone with a slither of interest think Hingerlaaand are going to trounce the WIndies. Is that so!!!! Well let's sit back, pour ourselves a glass of rum and see, eh ... lets wait and see.

A slight confession, I totally forgot to blog yesterday. I'm sure it won't mean jack to any of you lot but hey.

An interesting e-mail circulating on the CIFC list this morning. Sent by Upper Belvederes finest Kevin 'Basin' Everest it stated to quote " Why does everyone on this list suck up' to Rik. " Well hark at him, not only is he actually coming out of the closet, he's now saying that everyone else is into sucking. Go on Kev, you are the man ... a wealth of talent, popular, witty, etcetera blah ... etcetera.

On a separate note, the remake of Starsky & Hutch ... WHY??? Leave it alone, whatever next the A-Team.

**FOOL**
