STW TMS – The Oval

My dear old things! Good morning!

There’s a rather odd, large, yellow disc up there in the sky. Beyond the cranes, pigeons and cake, of course.

Toss won, we’re bowling first.

So Cook is not a useless tosser then? 🙂

Gayle back – I love the way he plays. Never a dull moment

Never mind Gayle, Tino Best is playing! 🙂

Good morning everybody</Benaud>

Anyone else having trouble with the Beeb website at the moment?

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

so Ive launched 5 live directly
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_five_live_sports_extra

now they’ve fixed half of it.

It would be nice if they could get the live scorecard working up to date for a change. Anyone would think it was complicated interwebbery 🙄

At least it wasn’t just me then!

A little bit of cloud now, nothing too threatening though.

Cake, anyone?

it’s sounding like a blood bath 🙁

WTF is happening out there?

😀

gotta love Chris Gayle, playing an IPL innings.

Gayle force winds reported in Kennington. 🙁

Damn he’s exciting, though!

Phew. Needed to get him out!

England should just let Simmons stay there – he appears to be playing in a test match on a tricky day 🙂

needed to get Gayle out for sure.

4 down! Calypso collapso!

Who is commentating at the moment?
It doesn’t sound right.

edit: just found it – Charles Dagnall and Ed Smith
still doesn’t sound right. I’ve not heard thes two before but not impressed. Do they commentate much?

I think it’s Ed Smith and the Newbug, Charles Dagnall.

Anyone else having trouble with the Beeb website at the moment?

yep, can’t play back Zane Lowe’s show from last night.
are all you cronies clogging up the internets with your crickety jabber?
yawnz.

What happened to the other half of the collapse? Wickets need now or WI are going to set a good score

170-5. Not the collapse I had thought was coming.

Did well to peg ’em back at the end – or Did WI implode? I am not listening to the commentary so not clear

Never mind that! Someone’s sent Cozy a cake!

Jealous!

Going along at a cracking pace, would love to be there today, lovely weather for cricket. Fingers crossed for next Friday.

Bosh, job done! 🙂
