STW TMS

Hurrah! First day of the test summer!

Of course, it’s in Cardiff and so it’s raining! Who chose Cardiff as the location for the first test of the summer eh? Madness.

Now, my dear old things, what about a spot of cake?

Surely that is summer. Rain Stopped Play… 😀

very good of you old chap now what cake have the listners s
ent in today?
nothing signifies summmer more than TMS
Gawd bless Radio 4
Personal favourite was rory Bremner going in and no one knew he was there and he did the commentators took a while to realise what was going on ..cant find it so here have the usual classic

That never fails to make me laugh! 🙂 Thanks! 🙂

Flashy – does that mean we can expect some Boycott-esque quotes and analysis from you on here!?

Dont think theres going to be alot of play on the first day today though 🙁

good morning everyone 🙂

hopefully we’ll get a bowl first and exploit the conditions.

The monumentous events of the winter seem like a distant memory now. I remeber being huddled under the duvet with one earphone in listening to alistair cook grinding the aussies into the dust.

Morning psychle!! 😉 stop lurking and come and have some cake

Well lets look at the positives of this mornings action…….weve made it to lunch without losing a wicket!

Victor has sponge cake. All is well with the world.

Any sighted yet? A rare sight in Wales I believe, since they constitute a primary food source there 😉

is it still raining?

Apparently its dry and play starts at 11AM. Lets hope for a bit more play today!

Live streaming WORLDWIDE

Thank goodness for that, much better than the Aussie tightwads who wouldn’t let the beeb stream ashes TMS

MDOT.

Got him!! Great start to the day!

Watching on Sky, listening to TMS

“Two balls left”

listening to aggers talk about the football was very much how I imagine CPT would sound discussing it .

Well, well. Did we dare to hope that Cook and Trott would pick up where they left off in oz? With jimmy injured we’ve got no chance of winning this but I could see us batting for another three days at this rate!

Omg

It’s all over surely!

The GD is getting dearer

Cricket is **** ace!

The GD is getting dearer

👿

just had a wee in the gloves 😛

Whoop!!

Who’d have thought this result a couple of hours ago? Absolutely fantastic.

Test cricket is flipping ace!

HOWZATT!

Top stat from TMS: England have won 4 of their last 5 games by an innings.

Meh, missed it all as I was having a sleep 🙁 Actually got up at 3.15 and thought I could catch some cricket, but 4 hours sleep in 48 convinced me otherwise. Who’d have thought it???

Dont worry, the highlights package is gong to be in real time (almost)

Morning, everybodeeeee

Blowers has some rather dashing trews on today.

SL sound a little flat at the start, having opted to bowl. Looking forward to the Tall Ones starting to hurl ’em down once we get out.

once we get out.

Which seems alarmingly soon….

26-3 after 8 overs!? Come on boys!

Oh dear. Busy afternoon and I come back to this. Not impressed…..

At least Cook’s racking a few up as per.

Another great innings from Strauss….. 😕

20, 4 and 0 in the series so far. Bah!

Time for some cake. A nice lemon drizzle should sort it out.

KP getting a few now. Thanks to Tuffers and his batting advice, no doubt!
