That will do pig, that will do.
Ripper 🙂
Australian downfall and capitulation due to too many ego's and too many moobs.
England team in comparison look lean, fit and a team.
No need to write or pontificate anymore, apart from WE WON! 8)
Cameras in the changing rooms and Ian ward has just been drenched in champers by Jimmy. Good to see the dressing room celebrations
Clarke's quit (after the Oval test).
Clarke retiring (beaten to it)
Fair play Pup. I've never been a fan, his attitude at times has been too egotistical and he isn't a great team man, but as a player he's been one of the best and it's sad to see good players in decline.
Hope you get a few at the Oval. Only a few though......
It's Kim Hughes all over again 😀
Bloody hell Cook's blubbing now
Whoop!
I knew Peiterson would be missed!
Bloody hell Cook's blubbing now
[s]Poor sod. As much as I hated him for his attitude in the last two series, losing his best mate Phil Hughes to that freak bouncer at the SCG has very much changed him as a man. That and the obvious pain from his chronic back injury was only ever going to result in one conclusion after this series.[/s]
EDIT. Yeah, maybe I've had too many celebratory beers already 😳
Thought you wrote Clarke!
I knew Peiterson would be missed!
+500
A lot of respect for Clark after the summer down here, however this seems like a series too far and that goes for a few. With the need to replace Rogers and voges it could be an interesting time for the team.
Well done to England though coming back from Lords and putting in some dominant almost Australian performances, need to work on finishing them off a bit more.
Guess how Watson got out in the tour match today 😆
Shame there were no reviews!!
Morning, everybodeeeeeee
oh look, its an exceptional green pitch, we've won the toss and having a little bowl
LOL
northants had them 170ish for 8 earlier in the week, the last 3 put on about 150 to save there blushes. So top order confidence is not great 🙂
Best nip to the loo and get a brew made in preparation for not leaving my desk for the whole first session.
I wonder how many runs England will have scored by tea... 😀
should have batted
What sweet madness is this? It's almost like a test match!
So, Clarke gone, and Aussie commentating worse than ever:
"Oh, he was DRSed out there, that was the tiniest of 'frequencies', [i]I[/i] didn't hear anything"
No, he was given out by the on-field umpire with a very audible snick, and he refused to walk 😆
Time to put TMS on and have just pictures on the telly.
No TMS in Oz due to 'rights', and I'm travelling with a work laptop so not that advisable to change their security and network settings to make it look like it's in the UK.
you know, this one could run into a fourth day 😯
Zokes, there's a TMS channel on YouTube published daily.
Who TF wins the toss and bowls in a Test Match? And at the Oval of all places?
Cook's got to go, surely!
😉
Zokes, there's a TMS channel on YouTube published daily.
And unless I'm not finding the right one, sadly oz is one of the countries where it won't work.
ABC Grandstand is broadcasting the TMS feed except for lunch/ta break and local news bulletins. Available on local MW radio or online. On Friday nights it is usually footy on the radio but they still broadcast the cricket online.
I'd like to apologise, yesterday I had to change the backup tapes before play to complete a restore so their juju was unavailable during play. 🙂
Couple of wickets before lunch, so long as England hold their end up with the bat I'm happy to follow a proper 5 dayer.
It always seems a but quiet in here when we're not winning...
To lighten the mood

Total dead rubber. Just can't get into it. Would have been nice to crush them but hey ho.
Also Swann is annoying me on TMS
cricket ? footie season aint it.
It's like a 3rd place play off.
Just found the abc stream. It's more than a ball behind the TV! About as much use as one of the Marsh brothers with a bat...
Guess I'll have to listen to fatso and moron instead then. Harrumph.
Zokes I always used to listen to ABC (broadcast) radio in Australia while watching the TV and the synchronisation was generally good.
That's digital progress for you I guess! Channel 4 and R4lw always used to be close, then digital screwed it all up.
On a lighter note.... That's how you use DRS 😀
And... Here we go
481 the target provided there's no collapse Sunday's rain should lead to the draw.
Even in a non-parochial way, I hope it's not a draw....
Cooke must have had extra weetabix for breakfast, he is motoring along at a run a ball.
