Final Test for Jimmy Anderson ๐
So wrapped up in Euro 24 football that I forgot about cricket. Today is the start of the England v West Indies Test series.
The first Test match at Lordโs will be the final international match for Englandโs all-time leading wicket-taker James Anderson.
I will be listening to TMS on the radio for most of the day and possibly catching a little TV coverage. Just hope the weather remains clear enough for the day’s play to go ahead.
Euro 24. Spain ๐ช๐ธ v ๐ซ๐ท France. Half-time. That was an exceptional half of football, really looking forward to the second half โฝ๏ธ
I was meant to be going to a concert at Chepstow Racecourse this evening to see Hozier and Brittany Howard ๐ต
The event was cancelled by the organisers at lunchtime today due to flooding at the venue. We had very heavy rain for several hours last night. Summer in Wales! ๐ง๏ธ๐
