With the third Ashes Test, nearly here, the Vicar, and Colonel Blimph, made the decision to travel to Manchester, a day earlier. But with accommodation at a premium, in the area; were lucky to find themselves, a B&B, in an en-suite stable, at Haydock Park, racecourse, but will stay in style for other days of the Third Test, in their pre-booked Hotel Glitzy Ritz, in the city centre. With the possible plight of no concert, by the world famous trumpeter Billy Cooper esq, in the ground. The Vicar, has taken precautions and booked his parish organist, but the last we heard, the church organ was stuck somewhere on the M62, on the back of a low loader, with only a faint hope of making the fourth day. As for the teams, the Colonel observed that the “Armchair’s”, wild card selections Messrs Taylor and Tremblett, have made the squad, and dear Monty. Perhaps Andy Flower, is planning for a tenth wicket partnership again, to see out the final innings. But generally it will be “much of the same” for the MIGHT MIGHTY ENGLAND, with a question mark against KP’s fitness, and without the dropped Finn and Onions. Also the Colonel has been keeping his eye on the gentleman from Down-under, thinks that Boof Lehmann, will keep his cards close to his chest, to leave all and sundry wondering, and whether there will be a guest appearance of shy, refined Mr David Warner, recently tanned from his African / Zimbabwe safari? A chance meeting with the lovely Carol Kirkwood of BBC Weather, forecasted that the first day will be dry, with a cloud cover, but rain can’t be ruled out by the weekend. “View from the Armchair”.
