    According to Warne, out 2-3 weeks due to groin strain.

    Very difficult to recover from. They need quite a lot of recovery time as I discovered to my cost. Tendency is to run through the pain with the result that you tear the muscle. I did distance running and was out for 2 years.

    Bit cramped in the old Anglia!!

    We used to go in an old tranny mark1  again, a builder. All his crap still in it, mind you we didn't pass off as 'casuals' way us lot dressed. Usually straight from work to match, and some of the boozers on the way, we looked well dressed compared to the locals

    Almost completely off topic but it put me in mine of the lads in the Buxton cycling club, back in the day. Their mode of transport was the local undertaker's hearse.

    This was used for for transporting them to Sunday morning cycle races (usually in Cheshire) and to the Satuday night dancing in Macclesfield.

    More than once, cyclists missed the next morning's race having "missed the hearse home" the night before.

    What’s folks thoughts on the Mankad by India yesterday to win the Womens 3rd ODI ? 
    As a junior playing in a senior game in the 70’s  did it after giving a player 2 warnings , our skipper still called him back and gave me a bolloking . My thoughts these days that if a warning is given fair game but not without. 
    Still no rules on this , perhaps it’s time that something should be formally written down.? 

    I know it's happened a few times, in the men's game, but I can't see why it's legitimate. Surely it's a dead ball until the bowler's delivered it. If the ball slips out of the bowler's hand or mis-judges the run up, it's called a dead ball, I believe.

    Apart from which, it's ethically immoral and not in the spirit of the game, especially in this game where no warning had been given.Smacks of win at all costs.
