Many years ago I watched Les Visiteurs with a group of University friends. (English subtitles- my French is minimal) I remember laughing until my sides ached from start to finish.

Well, getting thumped by Australia at the cricket is not unusual, and you can’t read too much into warmup games, but England need to sort out that shaky batting line up before the T20 World Cup starts in earnest this week. #WT20WorldCup#ENGvAUS#warmup

Don’t worry, most of them will get eaten by their siblings.

I dare say you’re right. I’m not going to turn myself inside out thinking about what might or should have been - did Notts get a rain affected draw in a round when Lancs lost? - just have to accept what it is. But the balance of the squad does need a look. It just doesn’t come together somehow

Ok, I’ll say it. I don’t think a team that won 3 games should be relegated if a team that only won 1 is staying up. Anyway, I’ve made my peace with the result and hoping for better performances next year. #cricket#CountyChampionship#Lancashire 🌹

West Indies and Bangladesh need to look out, of course, but remember that the Scots always bring their ‘A’ game for England.

Kathryn Bryce shown as wicketkeeper, but still managed to take three wickets in three overs! #cricket#WT20WorldCup

Are Scotland going to create some surprises at the Women’s T20 World Cup? #cricket#WT20WorldCup

The outlook for the evening looks good (if chilly). Should get the full 39 overs aside!

I don’t know. If they can mop up the torrential rain that is currently falling in London then it looks like being a dry evening. What is the ‘cut off’ time? They might get 20 overs a side?
