PHILINFRANCE

As I posted earlier, Fritz must be kicking himself.

Women's football has been known for unsavoury incidents in the past.

Which poses some questions about the state of the pitch?

I see that JOVE didn’t bowl a single over. He took a few catches, though.

It should make an excellent semi-final, assuming Nadal is fit enough. Fritz must be kicking himself, though.

If I remember correctly, JG played for both City and Celtic.

I think it was more a strong suggestion; even a resigned, reluctant acceptance, but I don’t recall seeing any confirmation.

Oh, I had assumed that team was an official team sheet. Was it not?

So did Bell and Idehen.

No Conway?

I may be wrong, but I thought 'Nige' was keen on LW staying, but was unable to match Swansea's offer.

Because he is recovering from minor wrist surgery.

Do you think that Joe Davis looks a bit like Chris Kirchner ??

Sorry to hear that Robbo. I hope the symptoms are not too serious, and you recover quickly.

Obviously, I am pleased that both JR and YJB got their Centuries, but also slightly disappointed that Siraj was just two runs short of his - he really does come across as a nasty snarling man when things don't go his way.

I hope he is there as well, but he is in danger of missing out on a Century if Root carries on in this form. Ah, @Port Said Red. Great minds and all that....

The late Terry Cooper.

To be fair (to the Club), there is something different between a quick, rushed ‘RIP Clive’, from fans who may never even have heard of heard of him before his demise, than a considered, meaningful message of condolence. I am sure the latter will appear shortly from the Club.

Digressing totally, but I only found out a few days ago that your username relates to an old (very old) City player. I am quite (not very!) old myself, but confess I had never heard of him.

Are you allowed to claim the extra half hour in Test Cricket ??

Well Done Nostradamus. Just a few minutes ago, I was thinking 100 or so for 0 at Tea, and we might do this. I leave to make myself a sandwich and come back to see we are now three down with virtually no runs added since I left. To make things worse, I have just seen a replay of Lees' Run Out.

Very magnanimous of you, although, as they say, Practice makes Perfect ?.

Hmmm. A very useful one day player, but I am not sure how he will cope in First Class cricket on, presumably, green pitches in September. Didn't he struggle a bit when facing Broad?

Carte Bleue or Carte Bancaire, e.g. VISA or Mastercard.

Yorkshire, surely? Nope, Sorry, Derbyshire it would seem....
