well I went along to headingley today...by myself, couldnt get any of my mates to pull sickies. So armed with a quarter bottle of vodka, a bottle of wine and 6 cans of beer and tons of ciggys, I proceeded to watch a pretty entertaining days cricket.
One side of my face is burnt coz of the sun, the other side has frostbite coz of the breeze.
Bresnan and Harvey batted nicely this morning against some toothless bowling. Major disappointment was Jaya getting out 3rd ball to a blinding catch by Craig White.Blackwell batted quite well for 30 odd. Bresnan was very impressive with the ball in the first innings(he hasnt half filled out since I last saw him 2 seasons ago), and Hoggard was bowling what i would consider fast (for him any way). Kruis was a bit wayward, really struggling to fine a line against the left handers.
Shot of the day came from Jayasuriya on the followon after tea, a brilliant front foot drive through extra cover..and then he got out to a catch at a very deep point. Kruis bowled better in the second innings, and my bladder got weaker and weaker the colder it got and the closer it got to the close.
Top entertainment provided by a bunch of old blokes sat behind me talking about cricket...oh and the nutter who ran on to the field at 11.20am(jumping over the fence a mere 5 yards from where my beer and I were situated) spouting allsorts about war, murder, corruption etc. it took 2 minutes for the stewards to put down their cups of tea and ****** him off the field. Harvey was kind enough to retrive the mad blokes mobile phone, despite worrying about reaching his first 200 in first class cricket
