Winter ashes...

[thebish]

soooooo....

anyone staying up? was toying with the idea - but flagging already and there's over an hour to go...

so - probably not...

[Worthy4England]

You mean it kicks off tonight??!!! Thought it was tomorrow night. If it's tonight, it'll be going on inna bit. Assuming it's on Sky Sports 1 (as that's all I've got in the hotel room)....I could try streaming to my laptop, but the bandwidth here is shoite.

Talking about this at work today. Not worth it was the conclusion. Hell yes to the last but one when I was a student (afternoon kip through countdown instead), hell no to the last one (working in a factory with 7:05 start). Might try to watch fourth and fifth days this time.

Anybody fancy being involved in a Shane Watson LBW/awful review sweepstake?

[Prufrock]

Ha!

Have they got any more proper Aussies yet?

Can't handle this likeable captain, vegetarian fast bowler nonsense!

[mrkint]

Peter siddle is not likeable. Look at his face.

See also: Shane Watson. And Nathan Lyon, the most Aussie looking man alive.

New boy George Bailey is from Tasmania, same place that ponting played his cricket, so that already earmarks him out as a c*nt

[Dujon]

The barrier is just about to go up.

Aussies with the toss elected to bat.

Let the game begin.

My bad, wasn't clear. Clarke is likeable, and Siddle vegetarian. I like their captain, and their best bowler doesn't eat meat. Where the shitfcuk are the proper Australians?! Watson is the only proper one I know. Sounds like this Bailey has potential though.

My Son won't let me check the scores

(I just did.....AUS 1/30) He Cracked it!!!

[clapton is god]

71-2 at lunch. Didn't see any of it but couldn't sleep so got up for a quick look. Seems a reasonable effort.

[clapton is god]

I picked the right half hour to watch! Two more wickets down after lunch and time for bed!

[Montreal Wanderer]

Now 121 for 5 after 43 overs with Broad 4 for 42 (They were 100 for 5). Good fielding show so far.

[Montreal Wanderer]

132 for 6 - pretty dismal score so far.

[bwfcdan94]

Barmy Army. We have got them on the ropes now.

[thebish]

well - 273-8 I'd have taken that before kick-off! looks like the Oz haven't sorted those top order frailties yet...

go Broad!

[mrkint]

Well this could have gone better
