The Ashes

[Doggy Styles]

245 all out - excellent performance by England in the field.

England could bat badly but still happy!

Not so fast - we still need another 45 to avoid the follow-on.

Soupy - you've gone quiet!

Still here.

Just stood for about 2 hours last night mumbling "C'mon Australia" at the kitchen TV.

245 is not bad considering, you were all wanting a 90 all out.

I was quite disappointed with us letting the Aussies off the hook like that. After watching the first few overs I thought we could have skittled them out for under a hundred.

The England batsmen need to do their stuff now. I reckon about 550 should do it.

Let's hope at least some Aussies turn up to support their team. I'm expecting them to start on the old "it's not that big a sport in Australia" line that they always seem to trot out when they are getting their arses kicked in any particular sport.

Or how about 'our population is so much smaller', 'Warne and McGrath had to retire to give you a chance', 'we let you win to keep you coming here and next time we'll thrash ya', etc etc etc

Only 2 hours to go ladies.

Quite surprised it was 245 all out, I fell asleep when they took lunch and they were motoring along with 3 wickets down. Let's see how tonights play pans out, it could be a good match like the last one, but I'd like to see a result in this game.

Get your can of piss and didgeridoo Minestrone. I've just paid for Sky Sports for the month and plan to watch the baggies get a good kicking.

So tuck your shirt in to your shorts, take a trip to the dunny and get ready to get your arse kicked you baggie wearing convict lover!

Just over an hour to go ladies.

Lovely fella called Victor just turned it on for me.

'How is the weather there tonight?' he asked.
'Oh. Cold' Said I
'How's the weather in Bangalore tonight?' I asked
'Oh! How did you know?' He questioned
'Oh lucky guess' Said MF.
