The Ashes 2010

Close for Trott.

Funnily enough after months of getting slated and every man jack predicting an England series win...

...Those Aussies look quite fired up!

[Ben_Itez]

Watching on a stream - is that an alternative 'hawkeye' system they use in Australia?

Anyway looked out to me and was shown to be clipping by 'hawkeye' - lucky escape

1st hour of an ashes tour is always going to be potentially good for bowlers and especially good for the home side, get through this and the aussies won't seem quite as tough

They need to see off Siddle and Hilfenhaus - survive a few overs from Johnson and things will look a bit better.

Losing the early wicket was a disaster for Strauss though.

Keep this up for an hour or so and it'll settle us down

Meanwhile I have a plan of Attack... Going to watch first hour... Go to bed... Get up at 6 and wAtch the lAst hour and go back to bed 7.00 till 8.30

I do have some banoffee popcorn too... Picked it by mistake thinking it was toffee... Suprisngly good... Edged just short of ponting

[Dirk07]

these are looking reasonably comfortable at the moment, going to go to bed in soon and i would guess these might hang around for a bit........... trott promtly edges

[Buzzo]

Yeah I was going to turn in after 10 overs... I am now thinking 15.

Problems.

**** that, might as well stay up while you're up. I'd just think "**** it" in the morning and stay in bed, especially after so little sleep. Making lunch is gonna be easy, I might go on for a bit after

Take a radio to bed. BBC5 live or radio 4 on all night

[Chazza]

Trotts using up all his lives here, needs to settle down

You can't keep doing that for 4-6 weeks
