As a School child I remember how exciting it was when there was Test Cricket on.

The teacher used to bring a TV and have it on in Class smile

Not to mention everyone had a radio on. These days, they don't even bring cricket on the radio sad

Ha, boss you just brought back some fond memories!

Whenever there was cricket, there was genuine excitement and interest.

Greetings from Kensington Sir! The weather is fantastic and a nice breeze earlier. The pitch is brown with some grass here and there. I think its a win toss and bat wicket. If bowlers put in the hard yards they will get results.

the atmosphere at a test match in QPO used to be electric. Really good entertainment for value, when you think back.
