The Ashes

One of the more pathetic displays of fielding in my memory (although to be fair my memory is pretty crap). But hopefully with Johnson missing out our attack will be able to maintain a more constant pressure on the South African batsmen. I will be there and have already started praying to the God of Krikkit (there's a deity I can respect).

Obviously I deeply offended the cricketing deity with the sin of 'thou shalt not wear baseball-style caps' or 'thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s steak sandwich'. Unfortunately my religion does not document potential transgressions in the clear, concise and unchanging manner as the more recognised religions do. I probably needed to drink a few more Pimm’s to reach full understanding of my errors.Regarding the actual cricket, England bowled well, but it was their fielding which most impressed. Two run-outs, caught everything that went their way, looked really sharp. I went again on Saturday to see us make an early breakthrough but then drop a pretty easy catch shortly afterwards — result = no wickets for another two hours.A ritual sacrifice will now be required to save this match (I’m thinking Andrew Hilditch).

Astonishing. After thrashing us in the Ashes England then went on a thrashed the world number 1 team: India. England have now established themselves as best in the world at Test cricket (although they are still godawful in ODIs).So thus this makes the Poms number 1 @
Test cricket.
Cheese rolling.I think that's it.

I can't wait until Straggler starts to try and explain the Duckworth Lewis Method.

I think Chuck would've sounded more authentic if he said he was having a pint & a curry while watching the cricket.
