Great to have TMS back in my ear - just a shame, although I've enjoyed a lot of the IPL, that WI have fine players in India who should still be playing for their test team.


Gayle just scored 128 off 62b with 13 sixes (yes, dlf maximums...) and is top scorer in the IPL - money talks.


Chanderpaul holding them together atm.

agreed - after the misery of day two this has got more and more interesting ... thought Blowers was going to have a fit at the end "He's out! He's gone! Oh my word what excitement we have here now! Well that rather takes the shine off his hundred" and trying to picture the field settings as he rattles out- "he's got two slips, a gully no, two gullys a backward square leg, a fine leg, and- oh I really do think they might have another close-in now..."


All this and ducks flying towards the commentary box... it was fate...

Great quote from Aussie coach Mickey Arthur re the ODIs "England are playing a very good brand of cricket... England have a blueprint and it's one we'll probably need to follow."


I know these one-dayers are a bit of a nothing/add-on kind of a series but the pleasure of kicking Aussie butt hasn't palled yet.

      GALA 2025

      I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another?

      We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
