How many days do you need to beat the Windies though?

I would have said the max 5 days allowed, before their Lord's capitulation under cloudy skies!

And before yesterday's announcement (including Bell and Siders in the squad) I would have said 4 days ...
but now that the squad has been "strengthened" ....... WTF knows !

Aye, hate the place ...
Cheapest seats in the house - reserved only for Essex supporters!

Next time JK .. trot along to one of the stands that looks empty ... smooth talk one of the green-coats into letting you into an empty seat ... and most times the guys will allow it - as with yesterday - It's not as if Lord's was chokka full ...

I'd be surprised if one of those green jacket blokes can hold a conversation, let alone help!

Funnily enough those cheap seats were all that were left when I got tickets online and yet the ground was barely half full?
Spent the time inbetween cricket trying to dodge the blokes trying to get you to change your gas supplier. Mate - i've paid spondooliks to watch the cricket, not for you to advertise your wares to me. Bassas!
