happyhippy Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Our session this one, albeit slowly ...... let's hope the evening session bears fruit ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James7x7 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Nice to wake up this morning and find that England are only 3 down. Let's hope KP doesn't give his wicket away first thing in the morning like he did in Brisbane (and at Old Trafford against Pakistan). Surely Collingwood will get his maiden ashes ton. I'll be DJing at the Plug tonight - hopefully can get DAB reception in there to keep up with the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yodameister Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Well the first day is over and we haven't been beaten out of sight yet. Australia's bowling is as weak as I have ever seen it at the moment. It was poor in the first match too, but they had so many runs on the board England just self-destructed. The trouble is bowling them out twice though - we frequently struggled in the last Ashes series to get through them and now Harmison is way out of form and Jones isn't there....and we still have a poor wicket keeper.

Code13 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I have no problem with England scoring slowly. Better to grind out a big score than score 250 all out quickly and spectacularly. This is test cricket, not 20/20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half an hour actually, but I'm now just devastated by the non death of Phil Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcrash Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 I felt pretty crap after the gig, a few people were upset that i had made a joke like that but many many more were upset to find out it wasn't true and I had to disapoint them.
