Nemesis strikes again

We went to the second one-day international at Lord's on Sunday. England of course did not win, but as a large proportion of the fun comes from having a sit and a chat with mraltariel and passing judgement on the people around us, that was fine. Also, we had a very nice picnic hamper. And we took some pictures. applegnat, some of these might be of special interest.



Trains were not running between Cambridge and Kings Cross. Oh no. That would have been convenient.


For applegnat, a study of James Anderson (picture big as yer hat here).


Jimmy about to take a wicket! mraltariel is very pleased with this one. (Big pic here.)


Mid-afternoon, a Lancaster bomber flew overhead, to commemorate the anniversary of the outbreak of WW2. Immediately afterwards, England, who had been doing rather well up till then, turned useless.


Never mind, we still had each other. And the Enterprise.

True . . . especially when it's left to Sidebottom and Bresnan to show the batsmen what they should have been doing.

This is what happens when you drop the players that are actually doing OK.

And when the opening batsmen seem to play as if they've got to hold out for 5 days, rather than put a couple of hundred on the board.

Too right! Bring back Boycott, is what I say.
