Foty almanac…..is that like Instagram? Look forward to some nice pics.
Yes, Doc. Lots of Fotos. Thanks for that – have added the missin ‘o’.
Extraordinary finish to the Test.
The umpires featured prominently late.
Cook has earned his stripes.
He knows how to orchestrate the tense draw.
Anderson provided a master class from the Pavilion End.
England lack a spinner.
Neville Cardus
A pint of McEwan’s PF?
Marstens Pedigree Pale Ale Old Mucker

Will the contractual obligations of our ‘correspondents’ extend to words in the near future?
Oh only a photo. And here I was wondering where on earth you’d have had the time to write anything… now it makes sense. Nice.

An extraordinary end to the Test. While England and Sri Lanka drew, cricket and the DRS were the winners and the BCCI the big loser if they still bury their head in the sand re DRS after it changed the result of a Test to see the right result occur.
Don’t Tell Annie wins the first at Thirsk. Of course.
The Almanac tells me all I need to know.
