If they make it through to stumps I think they’ll bat through the morning session and declare after lunch.

HEADLINE NEWS: A WOODIE UPDATE
Well that’s it. Am now confirmed as sans employment. Last day was yesterday. handed back the keys, and bye zee byes to the lot of ‘em. Whether I end up mit employment ever again is yet to be determined.
The mob I work for had the Literacy Training contract from the Fed G’ment taken off them. It was due to run through to 30th June 2024. Official statement is “a decision was made in conjunction with the department” to cease provision of services under the contract.
6 1/2 years I was there. However redundancy is according to the rules. Paid out outstanding annual leave, accrued long service leave and 11 weeks redundancy. Not so with the 7 weeks sick leave, though. 😥
So now, for the time being, I don’t have to worry about what time of day it is, or even what day it is.😁
I can do maaaarn whenever I like (but the maaar needs fixing, got to pull a dent out of the deck from when I hit a tree root that causes the blades to bang and shower sparks everywhere where the blades hit the dented bit).
I can poot whenever I like (like now).
I can go TOOT!! whenever I like.
I can go 3D printers and laser cutters whenever I like. (To make TOOTS)
I can do snoozleberries whenever I like.
I can do absolutely SFA if I like.
so wadda yas reckon, hey what but?
Sounds good Mr W.

You could also write a book, Mr Man. Like Ms Mum should. ‘cept yours could be called “Musings of a Cricket Expert: Vol 1. A Predictor’s Prophetic Prophesy”
I trust you have a compete electronic spreadsheet record of all your cricket musing. A timeline. Meticulously mused, detailed and proofread for later publication. I think Mills and Boon would be suitable publishers.

Probably not enough, really.

The West Indies are not providing the talent that they used to have. S. Joseph aside. He’s a brilliant cricketer and McKenzie is as well.
