Onions Does the Business
England’s revival in the Edgbaston test after their poor showing yesterday, would seem to owe a lot to the first two balls of the day, where Graham Onions took two wickets.
Now Onions is from Gateshead and plays for Durham, so like Sir Bobby Robson he is a born-and-bred Geordie. It is also well known that Sir Bobby loved his cricket, was often seen at Test matches and helped fellow Durham player, Steve Harmison, with his attitude to the game. According to Mickey Stewart he was no mean cricketer himself.
So were those first two balls for Sir Bobby?
It’s still slightly weird to be listening to an Ashes match and hoping that it WON’T rain!
