Root has made a century in the third test in the West Indies, shame its a little late as the series is basically over. England in a good position for the first time on this tour.

Windies bowled out for 71.

Good end to a mixed series... The tests were nothing short of awful, 20 20's never looked in doubt and i think we made hard work of the 1 days at points with poor run management, especially the 2nd where we lost by about 18 runs(ish) taking too many singles rather than hit when we had wickets in hand.

Overall though, I think it's been good for the team and a good build-up for the World Cup/Ashes. The 1-day squad will have learnt that they aren't infallible, and hopefully the test team will stop throwing random openers, put jason roy in there and stick with it for it.

Next stop Guildford & am going a day early to go out for a meal with my old boss & his wife. This game is the usual WACCOE cricket get together so will be a boozy affair no doubt.

Back from Guildford after taking in a new ground, very nice little out ground it was, shame Monday was a total washout. Next stop another new ground in York next week.

Yep first time there’s been a game played in York for over a hundred years. A large crowd is expected from both Yorkshire & Warwickshire fans plus there’ll be plenty of “ ground listers “ it’s hoped that both Yorkshire & York are prepared.

Phil, are you having these stats emailed to you for when you wake up after a cricket game/match/rubber whatever it's called? Surely you don't actually stay awake the whole time?
