England Lions v India 'A', New Road, Worcester, Tuesday 6th July, 2010.

1) New Road is always a splendid (and I use the word advisedly) place to watch a spot of cricket.


2) Last year, against the dreaded Aussies, Ian Bell was a national disgrace (oh yes). Out for a Golden Duck. This time he is a National Hero (note the capitals) having scored 150-and-odd.
3) The England innings is over and we wont stand for any talk about the ground staff doctoring the wicket in favour of our brave bowlers (oh no).

4) Steward is, ahem, somewhat taken aback at the state of the travelling Barmy Army's 'comedy barnets'. A good dose of the Army'd do 'em good.
5) Ian Bell (second right), as Captain, drums into the lads how close the finish to the game is likely to be. 'Right then, whatever you do, don't let the Indians draw off the very last ball thanks to a sloppy leg bye'. OK, Cap'n, no probs.
