one for Ivan
----------------------------------------Cricket lovely Cricket, At Lord's where I saw it; Cricket lovely Cricket, At Lord's where I saw it; Yardley tried his best But Goddard won the test. They gave the crowd plenty fun; Second Test and West Indies won. Chorus:With those two little pals of mine Ramadhin and Valentine. The King was there well attired, So they started with Rae and Stollmeyer; Stolly was hitting balls around the boundary; But Wardle stopped him at twenty. Rae had confidence, So he put up a strong defence; He saw the King was waiting to see, So he gave him a century. Chorus:With those two little pals of mine Ramadhin and Valentine. West Indies first innings total was three-twenty-six Just as usual When Bedser bowled Christiani The whole thing collapsed quite easily; England then went on, And made one-hundred-fifty-one; West Indies then had two-twenty lead And Goddard said, "That's nice indeed." Chorus:With those two little pals of mine Ramadhin and Valentine. Yardley wasn't broken-hearted When the second innings started; Jenkins was like a target Getting the first five in his basket. But Gomez broke him down, While Walcott licked them around; He was not out for one-hundred and sixty-eight, Leaving Yardley to contemplate. Chorus:The bowling was superfine Ramadhin and Valentine. West Indies was feeling homely, Their audience had them happy. When Washbrook's century had ended, West Indies voices all blended. Hats went in the air. They jumped and shouted without fear; So at Lord's was the scenery Bound to go down in history. Chorus:After all was said and done Second Test and the West Indies won! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06P0RdZyjT4 ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by densnaps at Jun 26, 2010 4:21:32 PM] |

Evening all
Thanks Den That brings back memories even though I wasn't there at the time. The memory still lingers and, regardless of the actual opponents the music at the Pavilion end is always Jazz -The Outswingers - but at the Nursery end there is still quite often a West Indian steel drum band keeping the spirit alive. Now the nonsense cricket season is coming to a close, I shall be there next Saturday for the final one day battle of England v Australia although it looks, presently, as if the short series will be decided by then. You talk about going to a posh restaurant Merle but are you not having your normal day at Wimbledon this year? |

You talk about going to a posh restaurant Merle but are you not having your normal day at Wimbledon this year? Sadly no Ivan.  The new knees are pretty good, but unfortunately not up to expeditions like Wimbledon! Very sad, but such is life!! One good thing though, I do have a TV that lets me choose what Court I watch!  |

Ugh! Hot & sticky! ......and I've got some ironing to do.  I had a spare half hour yesterday, so tried to fix my old desktop and complete the re-installation of windows xp. Trying to fix the monitor aand install the correct device drivers I made it all go black!  I've got a magazine with linux on it may try that instead, since no important file are left on my desktop.  I'm determined to start crunching again. |
