Only just

"Almost had a second whitewashing there Coll!"

So England managed to avoid screwing up the last ODI v the Strayans although they tried very very hard to throw it away lol and as usual it was down to Colly to save the day.

I would not like to be Mrs Andrew Strauss right now because like hubby must be in one seriously shitty mood. Also if I remember right Mrs S is a Strayan herself which could lead to domestic tensions at the best of times but most of all in an Ashes year one would think.

There is only one consolation yeah and you have to look quite hard for it.  If the Strayans had won and beaten us 7-0 (yuk it's painful even to type those figures lol) then they would have been no1 in the world for ODIs but as it is they are only ranked no3 and the Safricans are no1 so there.

Only one solution

Well you will have noticed that I have not been blogging about the Eng v Aus ODI series because it has been the most embarrassing cricket anybody has seen for some time.

With all the stuff Fred's agent has been spouting about money money money I'm beginning to think payment by results might be the answer for England's cricketers.  As in play well and you get to keep the loot right but play like you have been doing and we repossess the car and the Boss suits lol.

*Sigh* well in times like these there is only one answer:

or better still two:

these yummy things are by Miu Miu.

Nope

A few people read this blog believe it or not and some of them have been asking me if I'm really Lily Allen in disguise!

So I'm like what there can only be one female smartarse lolkid who likes cricket in the world at any one time is it?  Yeah right.  Actually we are a small but growing army and not barmy at all in the least.

So no I am not Lily Allen and here is the proof:

1)  I couldn't get tickets for the Oval.

2)  Although we must applaud Lil for fancying Graham Onions who is indeed rather wonderful in his own special way lol she doesn't understand at all about Paul Collingwood.

3)  Even with his Arsenal-loving anorak on my Karl is better-looking than Lily's new boyfriend who is meh and a bit podgy IMHO.

4)  She is rich and famous and has met Jonathan Agnew.
