"West Indian cricketer Chris Gayle says he has named his first daughter Blush, months after the "Don't blush baby" comment that landed him in hot water.

"We would like to welcome the arrival of our beautiful daughter 'Blush' to this world 2 hours ago, Thank God," he wrote.

So apparently Chris Gayle named his kid "Blush".  :o ;D

When she is old enough to research her dads' history ...the name will suit   ::)

After failing in the first match, Gary Balance is back amongst the runs, with a 50* against Warwickshire 8) One of the best young bats in England Jack Leaning also 50* at stumps.

From the sounds of things it has been a very good innings so far. Hopefully a test recall is just around the corner :)

Jimmy is the 6th highest wicket taker of all time now :o long way to go before he gets to Walsh in 5th but hopefully he's got the years left in him to make it there :D

2nd highest runs tally in a List A/ODI match last night. Nottinghampshire and Northamptonshire played out a 445 to 425 run match, totalling 870 runs. Only the epic 2006 match between Australia and South Africa has had more runs, that being 872 (434 to 438).
