I saw Headingley has been renamed Headingley Carnegie. Stupid new name.

I remember my days as an 18yo student, when a pint of bitter in Sinclair’s cost just £1.14. Unfortunately, some rotters saw fit to blow the place up later that year.

Three years later, Sinclair’s re-opens, with a pint of bitter forced skywards to a whopping £1.18.

That place rocks. It’s damn fine beer too.

Unfortunately, even though The North is clearly superior, Old Trafford isn’t. I went to Headingley for the first time a couple of summers ago, and it really pains me to say that even Yorkshire’s home ground shames LCCC into submission :o(

Monty nearly got McCullum? he DID get McCullum but for some reason it wasn't given? Wasn't it Hair at that end? Monty doesn't have much Anglo-Saxon heritage does he? In line with the first innings, the few bad calls made against monty were luckily irrelevant, McCullum made 11 in the first before falling and should have got a duck. Reasonable outcome in the end, woulda sucked if he'd got 150+ too. Even against Englands batting, Collingwood inparticular) there were some LBW's which weren't given to NZ, even more reason to look at changing the way LBW's out of your crease are umpired. Make the batsman pay! especially if it's against Monty!

Thats exactly why i tipped him for highest wicket taker and man of the match.

Watch him become a starfish again, the kind Uncle J said he was.

No idea what McCullum was playing at with that sweep. That sort of thing might get you 150 on an IPL featherbed, but on a pitch like that with Monty on form, it’s only going to get you out.

It doesn’t rain now at OT at Test Matches but it’s permanently gloomy and dark in sinful London – Lords and the Oval – pah! Sodom and Gomorrah!

He might have got you there, Suave!

Perhaps, Suave, but after the cricket on Saturday I went to the Oyster bar, where a pint of beer costs £1.42, so who's the real winner?
