Happy Birthday!! Hopefully you & yours are all Covid free...........

An amazing group......and some historic photos

Happy Birthday Docks!!

just hearing that England got another hiding............3-1 to India. why is it a big issue when spinners take the wickets? when the seamers & express men run through a team nothing gets said..........just asking

Thanks!! It was a good weekend........the family took us to Walkerson's near Dullstroom. Pity the trout didn't share their gifts..............and so on

I don't remember from years ago, but it seems like England have become sore losers...........2019 rugby world cup - they're still whining. This Test will be the same (imho). It's pitiful when a country can't take a sound thrashing.

It's going to be very interesting to see/hear what the UK press are going to say about their "world beating" team............fact is, both teams actually played on the same pitch. Root as a bowler, 5 for 8..............now there's a stat to consider!

we could buy a BIG bell...........

somehow this feels like modern day slavery...........

Money for nothing & the currys are free............ridiculous numbers - if the player stays "healthy"!!! https://supersport.com/cricket/indian-premier-league-2021/news/4944014

Industrial strength, high grade bullsit............."Philosophical differences"???? https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/feud-escalates-between-australia-south-africa-over-cancelled-tour-20210209-p570sv.html

friday muzak..........

trivia.......... Montagu Henry Toller (1 January 1871 – 5 August 1948) was an English cricket player. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast bowler. Toller was a member of the gold medal winning Great Britain cricket team at the 1900 Summer Olympics, the only time cricket has featured in the Olympics. In the only game against France he scored 2 runs in the Great Britain first innings and did not bat in the second. He took seven wickets for just nine runs in the French second innings.

There are none so deaf as those who won't listen to plain common sense............so it goes in this crazy world!
