Made I larf, anyway.

Yup. We'll be 2nd

Am I right in thinking there's only one promoted this season? Prolly finish second if it is

I'm amazed the umpires didn't take them off the ball before that

We gave the Batty one a fair amount of "banter" at Lord's

Do Chennai Super Kings fans say Oh Calcutta?

Oh dear. Mind you I wouldn't have fancied fielding today at Neil Road. Maybe they could try playing in the summer? This global warming doesn't seem to be working.

Trouble is that there's so little real cricket in the summer these days

For life

Two more wickets for me today within 5 minutes of arriving. I need one more for my fifer!

8 balls to go in the day, 61 ahead with two down. Chris Dent on 93. What could possibly go wrong? Hang on, it's the Glos Four down at the close, Dent and Marshall out

There is, of course, ****-all else to do in Taunton

May I recommend the Bishopston Fish Bar. One of the best in Bristol. Alternatively, the pizzas in the Sportsman/Annexe are superb.

Result official now. May I be the first to say BUGGER!

Which club?

And if it had been called off at the start of the over...

Doesn't look promising, does it?

I've just read the current Gloster yearbook. In the Obituaries, there three successive GCCC captains, which must be some kind of record. They are: Graveney, TW Mr CTM Pugh Graveney, JKR The obit for Tom Graveney tells us that he was sacked because of the team's poor performance. He wasn't.. He was sacked because Mr Pugh Senior put up a very large sum of money on condition that his son became captain of GCCC. To his credit, Tom Pugh, never more than a club cricketer, gave up cricket when he discovered this. There's also one for David Shepherd, a good cricketer and a great umpire. I thoroughly recommend his autobiography.

Bert Tann was best Rovers manager ever. Only time in our history when they've bossed us

You reckon he could become a bit popular?

Only when he's facing to the right. He doesn't consider that to be his best profile.

So the trip to the Owl Sanctuary is off too? Unless Piggs promised it pre-season

Not quite that bad with the Gas, I think - http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/may/09/galatasaray-besiktas-fans-brawl-wheelchair-basketball-iwbf-eurocup

And the Owl Sanctuary doesn't refund block bookings, either. It all adds up, you know.
