Tips for Tikay

McIlroy shoots first round 68 and sits 3 off the lead. Doesn't look like a hole in 1 has happened so far either.

Much needed bad news for NBA betting, Miami won the crucial game 6 in Boston so the Eastern Finals will go to game 7 in Miami on Sat. Lebron James put up one of the all-time great performances, scoring 45 with 13 rebounds and 5 assists. They won by 20 so he didn't even play the last five mins, sicko.....

Morning Jeff,

That's just the news I need to get the day off to a good start.

Thanks hector.

I would very much have taken that at the start of play. Please give Jaffa Cake lessons in my preferred early morning reading.

Daily Summary as @ 07.45, Friday June 8th

No completed action yesterday.

We were with England in the Third Test (we need them to win) but not a ball was bowled. It is quite possible that there will be no play today, either, meaning we have 3 days to get a result. Further wet & windy weather is forecast. Test Cricket might just be the new NBA.

In golf, we are on Rory, who is 2 under after Day One, with the lead at 4 under. Satisfactory, good even.

We were also on "no hole in one" (over all 4 days) & we have safely negotiated that so far. Only about 1,000 more bullets to dodge, then.

That was it for yesterday, a pretty quiet day on "Tips for tikay". Oh that it were as quiet elsewhere on the Forum, & next door.....

What's coming up?

Today?

The Third Test continues. Or not.

Round 2 of the St Jude Golf, televised.

That's it - except for the little matter of Euro 12......

[tikay]

Euro12.

First up, our book, as it stands right now.

Winner/Top Scorer. France/Benzema, £5 @ 150/1. Josedinho.

Top Russian Scorer, Kerzhakof, £50 @ 6/1, Horneris.

Top Arsenal Goalscorer, RVP, £110 @ 8/11, Fraser.

Top Goalscorer, Llorente, £10 @ 16/1, KillerKilsby.

Group C Qualifier, Croatia, £80 @ 7/4, Fraser.

TOTAL INVESTED SO FAR = £345.

Today's Euro12 matches are.....

Poland v Greece 5pm

Russia v Czech Rep, 7.45pm

So, if I have this right, our only interest so far in this today is on the Russian chap, Kerzhakof, upon whom we have £50 @ 6/1 "Top Russian Scorer" down to Horneris.

There must be a clever terrace-style Kerzhakof chant, but I can't immediately bring it to mind.

This is the view of old Kerzhy we'd rather like to see, to get us off to a flyer.

On my way to work in central Birmingham. Sorry to say the umbrella is in full use...and not in a John Steed beating away ruffians' way.

Warks have the best groundstaff around but it won't be starting at 11 today

I read on twitter to the tune of Ebeneezer Isagood - kerzhakov kerzhakov alexander kerzhakov.
Need to cross our fingers that the pair we've backed for topscorer both actually start for their teams!

More good news then......

From what I gather, "they" say the bad weather may persist, & we know that "they" are rarely wrong.

If we are running really good, Tighty will name these stands, & even the Architect.

Stunning. The Kop would be proud of such originality.

Tips for tikay Daily Ephemera

If today's play at the Test Match is washed out, it will be the first time since 1964 that an English test has lost the first two days in their entirety...

Edgbaston has a new main stand, replacing those in tikay's shot above



What it lacks in aesthetic quality, it makes up for in functionality. Part of a £32m ground development completed last summer. The view from the press box top central (blue rectangle) is unsurpassed

Designed by AFL Architects. Mott McDonald the engineers.




These are Kerzha Kerzha Kerzha Kerzha nights, to the tune of Crazy Nights, by Kiss, is my submission

Good grief, Tighty owns, yet again, incredible stuff!

You get 9.5, had to deduct a point as you named the Artichokes & Ginger Beers, but not the Building Contractor (schoolboy error) but you got a half point back for the graph. Don't see that sort of stuff in BITB.
