I’m at the tail end of a nasty chest infection and have been looking forward to slobbing out in front of the TV watching the cricket for a few days. Almost relieved to see the back of Alex Lees. I fully understand the need of an opening bat to have a solid defense but Jeez, there are limits. He could make Chris Tavare look like Viv Richards…

Are there ANY home fans in the ground?
Looks like 10,000 Barmy Army members turning pink
I was taking to a fellow dog walker yesterday and the conversation got round to his work trips to the Caribbean. He used to take in the odd Test Match. I was saying our Cruise Ships in Bridgetown always overlooked the Kensington Oval. I added the one constant was always the Barbados temperature, 28 degrees…every time we’ve visited. He seemed to doubt that. I said hold on, Googled Barbados weather on my phone.
Yep yesterday 28 degrees.
