Just padding up. Though there may be a rain delay.

You are risking one of the five obscure outs.

And here he comes now, walking out to warm applause, he settles at the crease...

What champagne am I drinking tonight?

Two clues to start this 20-20 match, it is from the last century and it's a 'luxury cuvée', in the appalling argot of marketeers.

I will probably be posting a tasting note when the question will be timed out. I shall calculate a winner on the Duckworth Lewis system.

Right decade, not whatisname Cliquot. What is the name? La Grand Dame, that's it.

Thank you for calling that quick single, perhaps runs will flow more easily from now on.

Another dot ball.

No, colder on the year and not Bolly of any description, let alone old french vines at a grand a bottle.

Oh forgot to mention, correct vintage.

No, nor yet the posh versions of this house.
My apologies but I edited my previous post to say yes to 98.

Not even my turn, but I suppose I was occupying the crease.

1998 Lanson

Not Lanson, I've wrinkled that one round the corner for a single.

I like blanc de blanc.

Ruinart 1998 Blanc de Blancs?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 21:41 Fri 13 Jun 2014

I am afraid we have been timed out by the appearance of a tasting note on other wines. Still calculating who won by Duckworth Lewis.

I guessed the date and occupied the crease the longest, so it must be Daniel's turn.

A fabulous demonstration of Duckworth-Lewis, the winner wasn't even on the field of play.

Come on Danny Bhoy, give us a question.

Oh, is that alcoholic? Ok apart from that.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:13 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Having consulted Finnegan's Wake, Cuchullain and my own soul I say Guiness.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:15 Fri 13 Jun 2014

God no. Not in London. Or Ireland for that matter. Well not much. I mean only a small skinful.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:15 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Anyway no.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:17 Fri 13 Jun 2014

I'm on three. I ran that first one and it was called No Ball so there's an extra. What was your total Owen?

Post by **DRT** » 22:18 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Chateau Margaux 1962?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:19 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Forgot you were in town. Poshing it up I'll be bound, well then Brandy.

djewesbury wrote:I'm on three. I ran that first one and it was called No Ball so there's an extra. What was your total Owen?

high and dry on two not out.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:20 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Not Margaux. Not wine of any kind. That's 2.
Not brandy, but that's closer. Forward defensive.
The type of drink might be identified if you can name the cuisine we enjoyed this evening.

Post by **DRT** » 22:22 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Haggis?

Whisky?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:23 Fri 13 Jun 2014

No no.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:25 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Not, horror of horrors; Grappa?

Post by **DRT** » 22:28 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Pimms?

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:31 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Calvados.

Not all grappa is horrible. As sipping liquor it can be lovely.

No. That would be French. No. You were there before.

I think I've played another defensive stroke and made another couple of runs. I'm on 7 now.

Tequila slammers?

I think that's a boundary.
And as the umpires lift the bails and call time on today's play, Jewesbury is unbeaten on 11. Join us tomorrow to resume play.
Night all.

I was thinking of that claimed boundary, I think the fielder scooped it back and they only managed three.

Surely you are not challenging the third umpire? Tell me that isn't so. Has the world gone mad?

I wasn't arguing, I was just asking you to look at the replay. No part of my body or clothing touched the rope when I was in contact with the ball.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 22:52 Fri 13 Jun 2014

This is the trouble with reviews you have to wait ages...

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:52 Fri 13 Jun 2014

Enough enough. How am I supposed to sleep when you keep binging every few minutes? Ok call it three. But I've got another two because it's neither of the things you just guessed.
I hinted that you had got the country right earlier. The drink was complimentary, my father being a regular customer.
