Richard Osman is the lunchtime guest on TMS today - just after 4pm on R5LiveSportExtra or the BBC Sport website - talking to Aggers - might be worth a listen?

Windies making a bit of a dog's dinner of it so far today - one out to a good ball, but also one to a daft run-out (albeit a fine bit of fielding from Jimmy A.)
last I heard this morning was they were 477 behind and 9 wickets remaining.

(whatever that means!)

Cricket confuses me.

Now 467 and only 7 wickets left - it means "you're in the brown smelly stuff" ...
Question Author
Make that 6 wickets left ... one more for Jimmy A.
The windies seem to be making a dog's dinner of it.
(yay!!)
am I allowed to say that?

Yes - they rubbed our noses in it for a couple of decades or more - I'm not crying salt tears for their current ineptitude ...
my dad and his 2 brothers were ardent cricket fans.
Followed Glos
I remember as a toddler that as soon as any cricket came on and uncles were visiting I wasn't allowed to disturb them :-)
As a child I was taught to listen to the cricket updates on the news bulletins (especially Yorkshire) and I then trotted up the garden to relay them to my dad, busy in the veg. patch. Very good memory training. I had no brothers so Dad taught us cricket and took us to watch Yorkshire play. I hero-worshipped Truman and Close. :)
Thanks, dave. Cricket and Richard Osman all in one go. Fab :)

Yes - a bloke you'd like to have a pint and a chat with, I think?

WI having to follow on - with the various 'extra half hours' we could be here until 22:30 if England have a sniff of winning.

The crowd in the Hollies Stand will need paramedics on standby for alcohol poisoning and/or hypothermia ...
Well I would.....he'd be delightful and interesting company....as long as neither of us took off our glasses..... :-)
I was in the Eric Innes stand when Michael Holding was bowling to Boycott in 1981, and with the greatest of respect to Cook and and Root, I don't think they would have looked quite the same batsmen against that attack. When he bowled Boycott in that now famous over, the atmosphere was electric. We were at the athletics a couple of weeks ago, mainly to watch Bolt ,and I mentioned to my OH that the atmosphere when he came out reminded me a bit of that time.

Thank you and goodnight .... WI bowled out twice in a day - England win by an innings and 209.

Start the tram ...
