That's pure nerves.

23:56 Me: Indeed, thank God I found a Sky box, can watch Strauss's innings and be in bed in 5 mins.
23:57 Friend: Yeah yeah.
00:03 Me: Night night.
00:03 Friend: Oops.

Some of us dont have work tomoz and can stay up listening to it

Stump mike isn't working too well on Sky, I'm not picking up the sound of ball on bat at all.

Why do the BBC still employ Geoffrey Boycott? He's more boring as a commentator than he was a batsman, and that takes some doing.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #34 on:** 25 November, 2010, 12:48:14 am »

And who's the cultured Aussie?

"He's got more movements that a Devorjerak symphony!"

Greenbank · « **Reply #35 on:** 25 November, 2010, 12:59:23 am »

At a guess (not listening to the radio yet, still watching it on TV) it'll be Jim Maxwell.

Greenbank · « **Reply #36 on:** 25 November, 2010, 01:09:18 am »

Arse.

Jaded · « **Reply #37 on:** 25 November, 2010, 03:08:07 am »

Off to bed.

Come on boys!

Pancho · « **Reply #38 on:** 25 November, 2010, 06:09:21 am »

I've just got up.

Now I want to go back to bed.

andyoxon · « **Reply #39 on:** 25 November, 2010, 06:56:55 am »

Just tuned in. I wonder what we can do now...

Just thinking that unfortunately Strauss' dismissal was probably a pretty good batting equivalent of Harmison's first ball mega wide, four years ago. Hum...

Dinamo · « **Reply #40 on:** 25 November, 2010, 02:50:19 pm »

Just seen Siddle's hat trick

IMO the hat trick ball looked like it was going down the leg side !

We need some riproaring bowling to limit them to under 300.

Then we need to bat properly.

Swan seemed to get a bit of a tonking for his over. But, yes, hopefully the boys can tame the 'Kookaburra' on an Aussie wicket...

andyoxon · « **Reply #43 on:** 26 November, 2010, 12:43:19 am »

Oh well I'm offski - hope Watson & Katich aren't still in at breakfast...

Jaded · « **Reply #44 on:** 26 November, 2010, 12:45:31 am »

Still here, but I know if I go to bed wickets will fall.

Jaded · « **Reply #45 on:** 26 November, 2010, 01:30:04 am »

Finally!

And I hadn't gone to bed.

2 more overs.

Probably.

mattc · « **Reply #46 on:** 26 November, 2010, 05:39:50 pm »

i think it's a 0930 kickoff tonight. 10hr diff, so 1130pm GMT? Means I can catch some before a 'reasonable' bed time ...

Jaded · « **Reply #47 on:** 26 November, 2010, 11:53:49 pm »

Shame about the review.

We need to get some early wickets.

[rubs eyes, checks score.....hummm]......oh dear.

I'd be happy with 11 Boycotts taking guard for the next 2 days I think!

Bat for a day and a half; attack them with new ball. Draw.

No problem.
