Mike Atherton: Welcome Richie, what on earth are you doing? Do you think the lads need some batting practice or do you think your bowlers fitness isn't up to scatch and they nedd a rest?
Richice Roberts: Hi Mike, hahahaha no i dont think our batters need the practice, did you forget that we got 500 plus in the first innings?
MA: No i didn't forget, i thought you must of cause you didn't enforce the follow on with only two sessions left!!!!!!
RR: No not at all, the last days cricket have been total bollocks. We found the Northamptonshire guys quiet hard to dismiss when the to on ZoraDooms block block block technique. So I figured i will send the boys out for an over or two for a big of a swing and try and get 10 - 20 runs quickly, the declare.
Just hang on a minute Mike.
Roberts signals to the batsman the declaration.
RR: See now we have set them 250 to win in two sessions, they will be looking for runs and that will make our job of taking the wickets a lot easier, if they are good enough to win from here then it will all blow up in my face if not, well you 'll be refering to the day Richie Roberts bluffed a victory out of nowhere against Northamptonshire. Anyways Mike i got to go get changed.
MA: Cheers lad and good luck.
