I fell asleep. I knew I would. I don’t feel that I’ve missed much though. It feels very flat. Has a Djok shouted at anyone yet?

The80sweregreat · 14/07/2019 16:03

I wish Djok would shout at someone
Might wake me up

PrivateIsles · 14/07/2019 16:03

AC's loving that guy's Hawaiian shirt.

Grouchy I was just listening to the tennis on the radio for a bit, and Pat Cash was explaining cricket to Marion Bartoli Grin

It wasn't bad, but I preferred your version.

Fizzywinegum · 14/07/2019 16:04

The80s who was that in the crowd? I was thinking Pat cash’s brother Grin

JaneJeffer · 14/07/2019 16:04

I've deserted it to watch Gaelic. Might be back later.

Cricket update Scoring has crawled to a trickle (hooray). NZ has a bowler (man who throws the ball at the batsmen) called Colin de Grandhomme. He is indeed tall. My maiden name meant "The Giant" in another language. The people on that side of my family are all short.

The tennis is looking pretty boring right now. Am glad I have the (stressful) cricket to watch.

The80sweregreat · 14/07/2019 16:05

I don't know who the Hawaiian shirt guy was but he looked ' rich but I'm trying not to look rich' sort

Fizzywinegum · 14/07/2019 16:05

I might watch the cricket Grin

The80sweregreat · 14/07/2019 16:07

Fizzy stay with us
Cricket really is boring

Fizzywinegum · 14/07/2019 16:07

Not sure why the tennis is so boring - I blame Djokovic the Dementor!

bookbook · 14/07/2019 16:08

now I am a Roger fan , but I am popping over onto BBC to look at the score every now and then
Come on Roger!

Fizzywinegum · 14/07/2019 16:09

Yes I know The80s - I really don’t get cricket - they seem to play for days and then it’s a draw or it rains (I’m sure Grouchy will tell us otherwise)

The80sweregreat · 14/07/2019 16:10

It's tedious because most of us on here anyway don't care who wins it.

The80sweregreat · 14/07/2019 16:11

My mum understood cricket
I cba to learn about it.

Raahh · 14/07/2019 16:12

80s I know. It's a shame. really.

I'm still hoping for a draw.

bookbook · 14/07/2019 16:12

I was brought up with cricket - I have always loved it , but don't have Sky so have lost the will to watch

GrouchyKiwi · 14/07/2019 16:12

The good news about this cricket match is that it will only take all day. Skies are blue!

PolkadotLollipop · 14/07/2019 16:13

I care.

It is irritating that it’s just going with serve though.

bookbook · 14/07/2019 16:13

you just get the impression that Djok just can't be bothered sometimes

GrouchyKiwi · 14/07/2019 16:14

I used to watch cricket with my grandfather when he was very sick with cancer. He died when I was 7, so they are precious memories.

SOMEONE BREAK. I don't care who it is, Fed or Djok. Just do it.

The80sweregreat · 14/07/2019 16:14

The weather at Wimbledon has been great this fortnight

The80sweregreat · 14/07/2019 16:15

A C was going on about the roof
Even he is bored

bookbook · 14/07/2019 16:16

I'm not bored , but then I am a Roger fan

PrivateIsles · 14/07/2019 16:17

The crowd definitely seems flat Raahh. They've won too many Wimbledons - the players I mean not the crowd.

So one of them will add one more to their pile today. Meh. It needs another dynamic. Eg Rafa v Theim in Paris - all time clay GOAT Vs guy hoping to steal the crown, it's a good story to be interested in. This is just flat - obviously if the tennis was amazing it'd be different, but it's not...

Still time though, hopefully.
