    Cracking day at Lord's on Saturday.

    I must admit that when I realised I was going to have to watch Smith bat, my heart sank. However, well done to Jofra Archer by making the day much more enjoyable by skulling the fúcker good and proper.

    I must admit there was a brief guilty moment as the sickening thud of leather on convict echoed around the ground where the cheer died on one's lips and one realised the bástard might ruin everyone's fun by actually dying. Thankfully, however, he had the good taste simply to be concussed and one could go home and watch the incident repeatedly with a clear conscience.

    Now if Jofra could just hit Warner as well. Mind you, he'd have to hang around long enough to allow him to get up to top speed for that to happen.

    You chose to attend a cricket match in London rather than come see The Arsenal?

    :forshame:

    You missed Cellabos looking like a 21 year old Cesc Fabregas and Pepe gloriously nutmegging Mee

    It was a fine experience, to be sure. I don't recall an atmosphere like that for an early kickoff. Cracking stuff, Gromit!

    twas.

    the only fly in the ointment was, just as night follows day, the tides change, and taxes, Ashley fúcking Barnes scored.

    As long as we keep beating them every time I can cope with them being the New Stoke.

    He was far too busy claiming offside. After he had deflected the ball into Barnes' path whilst stood in (defensive) no man's land...

    At the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, fúck me, but Archer's lethal. I've never seen anything like it.

    In the paper today, they point out that he's already hit 19 batsmen this summer. Not bad for a bloke who made his international debut in May.

    You can see why he keeps doing it, though. There's just no discernible difference between his action at 86mph and 96mph.

    You just can't see the bumper coming and as they pointed on comms, it's all just so smooth that he shouldn't really get any major injury problems from it
