Lording it up
It's that time of yesar again, when I'd rather be sat at home in front of the TV for 7 hours at a time than anywhere else (except at the ground, obviously). Yep, the first test match of the summer starts today. England, under temporary captain Marcus Trescothick entertain New Zealand at Lords, hoping that their newly found pace attack, led by fellow Newcastle fan Steve Harmison, will be more than a match for Stephen Flemming's tourists.

Of course, fro those of us stuck in front of a computer, it'll be a summer of listening to Radio4 longwave, and watching ball by ball updates online.

Also nice to see Geoffrey Boycott return to commentary after illness (and girlfriend beating - but we'll gloss over that one). He still can't rival Richie Benaud though.
