First test match of the summer coming up. Time to turn on TMS or let the Sky boys do the talking.

And IPL denouement coming soon on ITV4!

TMS won't be the same this summer, without CMJ :-(

TMS or nothing here. Is there REALLY an alternative?

No.

By the way I think there already IS a cricket thread somewhere - or perhaps more specifically a Test thread. Might have been started by Cornish Eva.

I can't wait for the Ashes, I hope we batter the Aussies :-)

I've got tickets booked for Days 1 and 3 at Old Trafford, I just hope it doesn't rain. I had tickets for the Saturday at Old Trafford in 2005 and it was ruined by rain, and if memory serves me correctly it was pretty much the only day lost to rain in the whole series!

I couldn't find it, even though I thought there was one. So, this seemed like an opportune moment to kickstart the summer action!

Nelly. I was at the Oval on day 2 in 2005. That one was stop/start with showers.

We're going to Day 1 at Durham for the Ashes. And a Ladies ODI at Lords, it's not summer unless I have a day at Lords. We named the tables at our wedding reception after the various stands at Lords, (and left the church to Soul Limbo, the TMS theme tune).

IPL is crap. T20 is a crap, inferior game to Tests.

TMS only

I have no NZ tickets, but some for the Aussies at TB, Durham and the Oval, almost a tour, looking out for any leftover ICCs

And I've just been offered tickets to Day 2 at Old Trafford... three solid days at the Ashes sounds great but it's my wedding anniversary, so what to do... ;-)

Wobbling: Manchester? Weather-dependent sport? What could possibly go wrong? ;)
I have to admit that I’m feeling a bit underwhelmed by the NZ Test – I really don’t like the back-to-back series (at one point a few years back, it seemed like 3 out of every 4 series were against poor Windies teams) and the current NZ team is a bit 1980s West Germany – efficient and proficient but lacking much in the way of character (I really miss Cairns and Vettori).

Non-Test update: despite the capricious weather,Yooooorkshire got Warks out for 118 yesterday. My predictions of a grim (oop north) fight again relegation might have been a bit pessimistic, although we’ll be missing Root and Bairstow, and I’m not convinced by our batting depth. I may have to revise my opinion of Plunkett – I always thought he was an over-promoted club player but he seems to have settled in fast at Headingley…

Test update - Bresnan is 12th man, I think - grr. (more grr to him not being available for YCCC than not being picked at all)
