Yeah. Our batsmen are second only to Gotham's. -
Ah, shame about Richie.
Really the Ashes should be like the FA Cup & Wimbledon - one of those sporting events that's always available on terrestrial TV. -
I fully approve of Sky buying up all the rights to all sport ever, stops it getting in the way of things I want to watch.
-
Besides, as it is on Sky you get to watch it in the pub and watch all the bar staff weep if Australia loses.

what precisely was there to watch on channel 4 between 11 and 7pm on a weekday.
As much as I dislike sky I think their money has saved the county game a bit. -
13 hours to go. Australia is doomed

Morning everyone, morning all.
The talking finally stops and at last we get some action. Some lovely tedious, drawn out, slow moving, test cricket action. -

It's customary to listen to some 12th Man at this stage in proceedings. We have no chance.Skerret's posting is ok to trip balls to and read just to experience the ambience but don't expect any content.

Never underestimate the England team's ability to pull a collapse or two out of the bag. Cookie has shown a bit of vulnerability recently and root is untested as an opener. Anything could happen. On the other hand Australia are spearheaded by....um. That guy.

That guy from Pakistan. Aussie's hand a debut to spinner Agar. We're still ahead 3-1 on the 'stolen from another country' stakes but they're looking to even it up.
Crafty.
EDIT: Is he from Pakistan or Sri Lanka? No idea, never heard of him.
EDIT EDIT: Sri Lanka -

So the Aussies to bowl first - let's hope that the symbolically important first ball of the Ashes is smashed away for 4.
Reality. Cook plumb. A Summer of woe. -
The Aussie bowling attack looks better than the batting, bowling first with a bit of swing they could do some damage.
Leslie Garrett caterwauling the anthems now. -

Depends. If you're in England, and it's English Beer - then yes. If you're in Australia with an Australian beer, there's never a wrong time.
Glad we actually have it live on free to air in Australia via Gem. Wasn't expecting that to be honest.
First two overs seem just to be a bit of nervous prodding from the bowlers. Shame Bird isn't in this 11 for Australia, but nice to see Smith get another go. I hope to see him and Hughes do well."Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness." ― Terry Pratchett -
Warner's volunteered to grow the official tour moustache I noticed. It's in it's infancy at the moment, look out for it's changing fortunes over the course of the series.
Highlight of the drinks break. -
Needs to be of the Merv Hughes variety before it gains legitimacy as a moustache in its' own right."Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness." ― Terry Pratchett

How? He lost all his teeth in the 90s.
I've got a Hellyer Road whiskey from the old state tucked away somewhere. If I'm going to feign distinguished taste this series I might have to test it out."Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness." ― Terry Pratchett -
