Oh cock…

Cock

Cockity cock

Or not…

cock out, cock in and out finally

Or cock

Yeah baby! That’s exactly the start we needed! 😀 8)

so KP 10 or 100?

So what happened? Good bowling or England giving their wickets away?

over by lunch?

I’ve seen batting like this somewhere before….

How about 2? 😀 😀 😀

amy chance of rain?

Oh FFS.

😯 😕 🙁 😐

amy chance of rain?

Plenty here in Adelaide!

Still, good to know that we’re so much better than those supposedly no-hoper Aussies, eh? 😉

It’s suddenly got interesting. 🙂

Warnie seems obsessed with the Lord’s bell 😯

Crikey! Let’s hope for a really boring long innings from Trott. 🙂

We drop a bowler when perhaps we should have been looking at the batsmen? It’s bloody test cricket. Where are the guys who can bat the day out?

OH FFS England what on earth are you doing

“We drop a bowler when perhaps we should have been looking at the batsmen? It’s bloody test cricket. Where are the guys who can bat the day out? “

That’s supposed to be Cook, isn’t it? Much depends on Trott!

nightmare start, but Bell and Trott are both more than capable of hitting long, slow, boring 100s

should have bowled first

<runs and hides>

🙂

Enter seaweed man

TFI Lunch…. 80-3 is better than it looked an hour ago (not much but a bit)

not a bad recovery but Australia would have taken that before the first bowl was bowled

they have the advantage

yep first session to the Aussies hands down

trott and bell to grind them to death with the worlds slowest daddy hundreds then declare on 500-3

99-3 isn’t too bad.

trott and bell to grind them to death with the worlds slowest daddy hundreds then declare on 500-3

Yes please. 😀

Further cockity trott off

Back early in the first test I stated my theory of 50 runs per wicket being the minimum rate for the top order. I don’t think any team have come close in the 4 and a bit innings we have seen yet so this might not be all bad yet.

Bums – as soon as I post that Trot is gone

Now the ginja ninja

Bums – as soon as I post that Trot is gone

Nope, he’d already gone

Did anyone else just see the cocknballs the commentators drew on the TV screen, or am I starting to hallucinate through lack of sleep?

You have to factor in I am intermittently working / checking the score on the BBC web site / posting on here (not in that order). I was typing away about how we were building toward a respectable score having not checked for a couple of minutes.

Sorry, my biggest issue with timing is working out when to go to the fridge for another beer, and whether anyone’s stacked it on le tour

closing on 2am, I went through this from page one and found this gem

They wont win a single match and wont get a draw without the weather
Occasionally England may need to bat twice

Never ever been able to say that have we

maybe one more beer then bed, 229-4 seems a better place to leave them..

Not iver yet and i was just as gushing in my praise for the Aussies who have been far more competitive than anyone [ or at least me] expected

I said the first test was a

Anyway the start of a fantastic series of cricket and some serious Kudos to the Aussies whop were far more competitive than anyone[ I assume including most of them] thought they would be

Should be an immense series cannot wait

Still playing above their average but I still cannot see them winning it though I would be way less confident on a white wash so yes well done Australia some excellent performances from them especially the number 10 stand

They have been far better than expected bowling and England batters far worse

yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no, yeah no

STOP SAYING YEAH NO MCGRATH!!!
