As his majesty cryptically said, “wet shirt switches to thick coat”.

I got to The Home ludicrously early this morning to secure a parking space near the ground and perfectly sheltered yet excellent seats in the Warner.

Not that it is actually going to rain if course – except for the odd shower perhaps …

….unless the wind changes direction again…

“Weathercocks twitch, so hit tits.”

Just hope the little blue birds can dodge Father Time.

We’ll review it here in due course and we’ll review it fifty times better.

Is it somehow possible that other cricketers are capable of causing events to occur?

Is that kind of behaviour permitted?

Who was he speaking to when looking at the night sky, Corsellis asked. “God?” Stokes replied.

Who’s the dialogue writer?

Stokes also denied saying the doorman’s tattoos were “shit”, claiming he had in fact said: “Come on mate, I’ve got shit tattoos as well, let us in.”

Corsellis challenged him. “But you don’t have shit tattoos. You have spent a lot of money and time and care on your tattoos, and they are not shit,” the prosecutor said.

Stokes replied that he liked the tattoos on his arms, but he did not like the tattoo on his back. “It’s not done very well and it’s a bit faded,” he said. He was constantly getting comments about his tattoos, he added, “especially on the boundary line”.

Oh boy !

Asked whether he was “looking down your nose” at Mr Cunningham, Stokes replied he “might just be looking at the night sky”. And when asked to whom he might be speaking, Stokes replied “God”. – I’m only hoping for rain!
