It does indeed, looking forward to this test and especially Olly Stone he looked rapid at times in Sri Lanka last year.

Hmm...a game against Ireland feels like a "B" international with so many players (understandably) being rested. Glad I'm not at Lords - going to be fearfully hot!

Some of the quotes about the media guys and gals are priceless.

I have a seat at the Oval right next to the groundsman's hut, it can be fascinating to watch them and the groundsman there Lee Fortis is constantly doing something. Seems a nice guy.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Hmm...came home just in time to watch a couple of overs before lunch. Expected to find England 60-odd for one and can't quite believe what I'm seeing. Bowled out by a couple of journeymen bowling at 70-80mph, although to their credit, they bowled the right length, the ball was swinging & England couldn't cope at all.
