Just wishing the team all the best on day one of the First Test at Lords today and in particular young Jonny Bairstow, a very exciting prospect.
I'm sure his father would have been very proud.
Looks like the weather too will be playing its part though!
Day off today so watching every ball. Agree about bairstow phil, i hope he does well and cements his place ahead of bopara. have seen plenty of this new windies side and they are improving all the time. Barath reminds me of a young lara which could be ominous. should be a good challenge before the south africans arrive.
... is anyone else as fostered off as me at the ever increasing size of the dratted 'info bar' at the bottom of the Sky picture?
It's now up to around 15% of the screen depth and (given that cricket is an 'up and down' game) it is like watching the game through a partially closed letterbox.
Why can't they make it a 'red button' option to display or hide the bar ?
They are discussing that very subject now on TMS, doctordb.
Barath sounds a good prospect, be good to see the Windies return to resemble something of their former teams, they were a bit average last time they toured here.
Boycs is joined by Aggers, usually great banter between them.
Geoff saying how pleased he was to give Bairstow his cap and mentioned how he played with his Dad, must have been very emotional.
