Sorry dear Reader. Certainly no drink today. And only a factual blog. Maybe the Durham & Yorkie lads feel they have big days tomorrow. With seasons on the line. They want to take a walk in my shoes. Tomorrow the tickets for the South Africa v England Test series go on sale. Two of us. All four Tests. Some flights and hotels already paid for. Or take 6 wickets to go top. Piece of piss.

I face Real Pressure. Clear head.

Hard Yakka out there today. To be honest I was surprised how quickly Yorkshire wrapped up the first Durham dig. But, different kettle in the second. Bowlers going for a few. Durham playing their shots. Batsmen getting starts.

Gale seemed to be using Brooks in more or less one over spells. He's done 2 for 59 in 10 and 1 for 45 in 12. Patto has gone for 20 off 18 (l mean, come on). But then 40 off 10 second go around.

Anyway, set the alarm, blag the tickets, get down the ground, snaffle 6 wickets. It'll all look different.
