GB and Ireland AC Home Internationals
Saturday evening by wixy
Lawns here very easy. Hoops probably set quite well but not scary at all due to the moisture in the ground. Lawns probably running about 9 seconds as a guess so nice and easy.

I'm sitting by lawn two just outside the hut. I'm watching dave Maugham vs Simon Williams. It's super advanced and Simon took the first. Now in the second with Dave for 1 and 3b and Simon for 1 and break.

Prior to commencement I had a bet with sam Murray that England would win 30-0 at odds of 100-1. Despite offering my teammates 50quid each if we managed it we have lost a few games already.
