Plus 14 and dry when driving in.

Thunderstorms on the way??

Mark Woods bowled at 97.1 mph yesterday. He bowled the fastest over ever recorded in English cricket.. you have .4 of a second from the moment the ball leaves Mark's hand before it hits you!

The West Indies battled well..Superb century by Kavem Hodge..As usual I am wrong, it is not such a one sided match!

So what did you think of last night ITV! programme Champions Full Gallop?.. A really good insight to our sport..

We have a runner tomorrow at Stratford..Lady Gwen runs there and for my thoughts please click here.

An old farmer drove to a neighbour's and knocked at the door.

A boy, about 9, opened the door.

The farmer asked, "Is your Dad home?"

The boy replied, "No sir, he isn't; he went to town."

The farmer said, "Well, is your Mother here?"

The boy said, "No sir, she went to town with Dad."

The farmer said, "How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

The boy said, "No sir, He went with Mom and Dad."

The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other, and mumbling to himself.

The boy said, "Is there anything I can do for you? I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one, or I can give dad a message."

"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, pregnant."

The boy thought for a moment, "You would have to talk to Dad about that. I know he charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I don't know how much he charges for Howard."

On that note have a great weekend..
