Brenton Wood - Catch You On the Rebound

Its both difficult to argue with this particular point and also difficult to be too critical of Smith, given the runs he scored in both innings. But in the context of the game it was a pretty dumb way to lose your wicket.

Paul Weller - On Sunset

David Soul - Don’t Give Up On Us Baby

I can see England chasing 500 to win this

Decent fightback by England after a horror start this morning.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Don't Cry No Tears

Melanie - Brand New Key

The Housemartins - There’s Always Something There To Remind Me

The Special A.K.A. - Free Nelson Mandela

The Style Council - Walking the Night

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - I Can’t Stand Up (For Falling Down) Edit: Posted at the same time as Riversider but should still be okay I think

I reckon Stokes is the only current test match captain who would have bowled having won that toss. For me what has happened in the past isn’t that relevant when the sun is beating down and it’s 30 degrees. The weather forecast over the 5 days was yet another reason to bat first. It’s a thin line between genius and stupidity and Stokes crosses it on a regular basis. Still, I suppose if any team can chase 500 to win in the 4th innings it’s this one.

In what world do you win the toss and field first in those conditions?

The Human League - Don’t You Want Me?

£6.50 was quite pricey for a gig ticket in 1981.

Nobbers at Dumpdale

The Jam - Man In the Corner Shop

The Carpenters - There’s a Kind Of Hush

I seem to remember some kerfuffle about the age of his girlfriend as well?

David Bowie - Let’s Dance

The Beach Boys - Good Vibrations

They made hard work of the Durham victory really. It should never have come down to the last ball. As you say, a cracking start though.

The Lurkers - Out In the Dark

I like to think I have an eclectic taste in music but the Boss has never really floated my boat tbh. I don’t really care for his voice. Fair play to the fella for the career he’s had though and he always gives good value at his gigs.
