The Ashes 2010

Stolen from Twitter:

Bollinger opened, Johnson out, Hussey bowled over. Not a cricket report, Shane Warne's diary entry for last Wednesday

[PTP]

Apparently this song will be unleashed by the Barmy Army in Perth. To 'Don't Look Back in Anger'.

Slip inside Ricky Ponting’s mind
He’s trying to find
Some new players to play

He wants to play his older team
But that’s just a dream
They’re too old to play

He said he’d start a revolution in his head
But he’s been through all the players A to Z
Now there’s just a summertime of doom
If he loses the Ashes race
He is going to lose his place
Losing three would simply tear his heart out

So Ricky can wait
Shane Warne is too late
And there’s no Glenn McGrath
Gilchrist’s had his day
And don’t look back to Langer
He cannot play

very good.

Sat with the Barmy Army last year in Cardiff. Unbelievably good banter aimed at the large group of Aussies sitting nearby (The Fanatics - how sad is that).

Morning Beachy, it's been a while

Hello mate ... how's things?

[Craig_H]

I'm gutted that this test is 2am starts I wont see much of it.

[Leyton388]

Yeah i won't be watching it. I will have to catch the highlights. If all goes well i will watch the last day or two.

[Craig_H]

I'll be able to watch Saturday night's action (2am Sunday morning).

If our game is postponed (and it's announced on the friday), i'll get to watch the friday night stuff too.

Early night (20 mins for me), up at 5 in time for the afternoon session starting at 5.10. Two full sessions to see.

That's not a bad idea. I'm wondering if i can manage to get up at 5am and then somehow manage a full day at work starting at 9am

If you go to bed earlier than usual, surely? I think play will finish at about 9.30, so I'll just have a late start.

Network goes down at work, so sent home early.

Storm comes so I can't do the gardening.

No choice but to watch us take wickets like candy from a baby whilst sipping beer.

Does life get any better?
