    200 is the big number and every run over that will worry them. In a perfect world we would set them 250 but I would take 225.

    Indeed......but nicer to win a close one than lose one.

    Ha, Brathwaite bowls the first over after tea. I presume the WI have backed us to win.

    I've just stuck another £20 on us.

    Ali caught behind off a no ball. You couldn't make it up.

    I'm expecting Woakes or Ali (or both) to do something daft soon & we will be all out with a lead of less than 230.

    Golfie's not in a good place at the moment what with the signing of another striker dragging on and on :wink: .

    Just noticed the WI soft caps are red instead of magenta, same as their hard hats. Obviously their printer cannot do magenta. Just a bit of trivia
