Good morning everybodeeeeeee

England win the toss and open the bowling under sunny Yorkshire skies!

No Swann, though….

my dad’s there. I had to give him my ticket #gutted

big gamble to leave Swanny out.

anyone know what bopara’s ‘personal reasons’ are for not being available? I’d suggest being unable to bat at test level might be one of them but I am a bit of cynic. 🙂

edit: also I am the only person getting frustrated with Pietersen? He gave his wicket away in the first innings of the last test when we were in an excellent position. Had he batted til the close we would have put a bigger total up and perhaps not given the Saffers the time in the game that they had.

at least we wont get out hopes up thinking we batted well 😉

A little bit of a calypso-collapso happening here? 🙂
