In Glos inns....Silvers 5-18 Rico 4-24

And to put some flesh on the bones, Scottie got hit on the arm, Joycey kept wicket for the start of the Glos inns and took 2 catches, 1 of them a brilliant one down the legside....Scott came back when Glos were 4 down and kept...Louw arrives today, Chad bowled a few overs with a new hairstyle, quite a conservative one for him.....good to see him back but he wasnt at full pace...

And now the main news...

SILVERWOOD!!!

He and Rico had Glos at 18-5....he bowled with pace and aggression and was delighted to get Spearman second ball for a duck, after a stand in the middle of the inns, he and Al came back and polished off the tail.

As for his situation, deal has been agreed, hes moving into his flat down here and like it said on Ceefax, just waiting for Yorkshire to release his registration.

Fingers crossed guys, on his day, he will be a match winner......and Im just off to thaw out a bit more.
