sat up to after 2 watching it John, Greenwood is playing some amazing golf. Good to see both Rory and Graeme doing well especially with the British Open coming up next month at Royal Portrush. Saying that I'm not too sure if Graeme McDowell is actually Northern Irish when I listen to him talk :D

I love how GMac openly admits he softened his accent for interviews in the US and kinda can't help it anymore. He knows that everyone takes the p out of it and laughs with them. Top guy :clap:

Spare a thought for the Mali womens T20 team who were recently bowled out for 6 in a match against Rwanda (Kwibuka tournament), 5 of runs were extras and they lasted 9 overs, Rwanda won by 10 wickets after scoring 0/8 off 4 balls.
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.

What a glorious place to watch cricket. Hats off to York CC for a truly memorable time. The grounds men have done a fabulous joke. Just about to get on the train to go home.Planning on Going to Kidderminster tomorrow to see Worcestershire v Sussex ( bagging another ground )

Fabulous innings yesterday from Morgan hitting 17 x 6’s ( a new world record ) in England’s win.

There was a lot of coverage on the local news about it last night NW, they interviewed a few spectators but I didn’t recognise you.

Everyone seemed to be having a cracking time :thumbup:

NW, are there 30 more grounds in the country, I assume you mean first class grounds? I once played in a cricket friendly on (I think) the Yorkshire Penny Bank ground. The word at the time was, that the groundsman was the brother of the Headingley groundsman. They reckoned that the YPB pitch was better than Headingley. It was exceedingly good.
I once played against Don Revie.
