Capt Eric Moody passes.

Hi all.

Sad to report his passing at 84.
What he and his crew achieved was simply astounding.

Re: CAR INSURANCE

All part of the plan to get most people off the road. Dreading my renewal due end of March. Update.

Think England need stumps and come back refreshed tomorrow.

To think earlier postings said this'll be over in 3 days.

Although every time I get a new book, no matter how careful I am I still manage to mark off the wrong thing at least once :grr: The dreaded X next to the serial/reg to indicate the mistake.

1130z Friday.
Wondered why there were only 3 cars in viewing area when I passed by in the truck.
Plenty of F35 under the rain-sheds( it's the UK so it's not sun).
Enjoy the weekend folks.

Re: Cricket ODI World Cup India 2023

Pak 244 all out, Eng win by 93 runs.

Again some choice lower order biffing from Rauf(35) and Wasim(16) to give the crowd some entertainment.
They scored 51 off the last 4 overs.

Eng need a major reset before 2027's effort, assuming 50 over games aren't history by then.

Re: Cricket ODI World Cup India 2023

Eng 337-9 off 50 overs.
A bit of lower order biffing gets them to a reasonable total.

Pak need 338 to win under the lights.

Lets hope IND vs SA comes up with the goods tomorrow. Not that many close matches this WC. Mystic me getting it wrong again :unsure: .
