That day cut short by Bad Light.

I think you can usually tell the state a cricket club is in by the state it's Raffle is in. Today….

“Raffle Tickets. Raffle Tickets”
“How much are they?”
“£1 each”
“What do you win?”
“I don't know, there's a Daily Prize”
“Nice, what is it?”
“Don't know, just write your name & phone number on the stub there. Although this pen is neither use nor ornament”

And, there, M’Lud, the Prosecution rests. 289 ahead, and they've still got seven in the hutch. Yorkshire now TWO bowlers down. As Plunkett joins Sidebottom on the couch. As it got darker, I presume The Umps asked Captain Bresnan whether he'd be putting the spinners on. Mate, he's more likely to get Liam out for one last four bouncer over. Eventually some marvellous acting by the Yorkshire fielders. “Failing to see” a ball crashed to the boundary. Persuaded the extraction of the Light Meter.

The Hole In The Wall. A new one for me. Three on Cask. Sign saying “No Children”.

Lovely, refreshing, tasty, revitalising pint of Roosters, Yankee at 4.3%.
