Hearing @davidwarner31 to Bat 6 .. @mstarc56 back in... Smith to Bat at 5.. No Hughes for the Aussies... #Ashes

[Shaggy]

They don't half muck Hughes about.

[Chazza]

4th in the averages and has hit 81no, hope Warner ****s up

I can imagine the sledging will intensify with him playing.

[Shaggy]

Haha yeah can't wait to see us terrorise that Warner cunt.

KP definitely plays.

[Shaggy]

It feels weird and wrong being a 5 minute drive/20 minute walk from an Ashes Test match at Old Trafford and not being there

[Chazza]

Go down and wait for someone to get chucked out then nab their ticket

Sounds like Lyon in for Agard.

[PTP]

You're missing an Australian innings

As for the weather, still looks fine. A bit of rain about on Saturday, but I'll be surprised if we lose more than a couple of hours play.

no i'm not. Well 'technically' i am, but that was the point

We bat all day thurs/fri - sat rained off, bat all day monday and declare - that's 1 innings England

Oz going into bat Monday - but they're ****ed - draws forced, cook is happy.

[PTP]

shaggy - how are u not there....eeven just popping along

you're your own boss, work from home and live 5 mins away!

wtf

[Chazza]

Oz win the toss and bat.

[Chazza]

KP fit England unchanged.

Huh? I could walk up and stand outside, or watch every ball on telly. Not a tough choice.

[Shaggy]

Disappointed no Tremlett.

i mean - how have you not organised and got tickets for every day and gone

it's just up the road

[PTP]

re the popping along

if it was me, i lived that close the ground, i worked from home, i would have been so tempted to just pop down this morning, have a little walk, and see if someone was selling a ticket

that's what i was getting at - how have you managed to stay home/work (or whatever it is you do )

You think that's bad. Once I was living half a mile away from the last day of a Test match being played in front of a small crowd with lots of spare seats available if you turned up on the day. I could easily have gone but instead chose to watch it all on television in my bedroom.

It was day five of the Botham Test at Headingley.
