9,in fact,hey changing subject a tad,i saw the great bit Jack did on sky regarding his England A stuff last week ,i thought he came across very well on Tv ,it was interesting though when asked about how i learnt his cricket and he said 'he came from a family with no cricket pedigree at all', i mentioned this to Jacks dad yesterday and he was a tad miffed,i would love to know what Nathan thinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The drop ok then Brooks off 7 yard run regulation nick ,i thought it a good idea to chest it down rather than catch it!!!!!
My excuses were it was getting late in the day and a bit dark,i had batted for two hours earlier and was drained,about 4 pints of carlsberg and a bottle of red at lunch, bad miss i know but messers Murrey,Ward and Charlesworth glad it didnt come to them in the sips for sure!!
Beaten for pace was what sprang to mind!!

Mr Murrey and i can barely remember getting home and thanks to Mrs Megson sweeping us into and then out of her car.Rob how many vodkas did you put in my final drink,to many for sure,it was a great day guys many thanks to you all.
