It’s the end of the line for the County Championship season. We watched every minute of the conclusion, and definitely weren’t distracted by our favourite film.
Seven days have passed, therefore it must be time for another 51allout gin party, cleverly hidden under the pretence of recording a podcast.
The County Championship is almost done for another year, which is good news for those struggling to find a thousand words to write about it each week. But which team got rid of Saj Mahmood and then deservedly got relegated?
England and South Africa are going head to head yet again. We can barely contain our excitement.
And so the world turns on its axis once again. A week ago we convened to tear into New Zealand and have a hearty giggle at Australia’s expense. This time we… Er, oh.
We didn’t enjoy the fifth ODI all that much.
For the first time all summer South Africa looked genuinely out of sorts, being bowled out for a sub par total that England were able to chase down relatively easily, despite a slight wobble towards the end. The home side reclaim top spot in the rankings, although they neglected to freeze Hashm Amla in carbonite.
The 51allout podcast makes a second appearance on the international stage, moving it ahead of Darren Pattinson in the all-time list. Plus there were slightly fewer basic factual errors, which is a definite bonus.
We’re into the business end of the County Championship now. But that’s no excuse for shouting at the work experience boy.
T20 Finals day is all done, bar the small matter of the final. Once more unto the breach dear friends!
