Australia v England

[Trigger]

Just nipping downstairs to make a cup of tea, I do hope I don't miss a run by Ian Bell, I should be alright shouldn't I?...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

18/1 off 5 overs.

As I said ... Vaughan let me down.

 

[Trigger]

Strauss gone, what do you expect when you drop him for months then bring him back rusty against Australia...

Well done Fletcher you MORON.

Ceefax is a bit behind - has anybody actually made it into double figures yet?

Not yet, Bell is on 9 from 174 balls though.

Probably just SEEMS like 174 balls tho eh?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

6.1 Bracken to Bell, no run, again Bell advances down the pitch with impressive intent, but can't actually make anything of the ball. It bobbles out onto the leg side with meek intent

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

24/2 now. FLETCHER OUT

 

[Trigger]

Ian Bell's 10 runs taking 2 days 13 hours and 52 minutes and coming in 1,467 balls.

Fine effort.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Who's this 'Extras' bloke? May well end up being England's top scorer

 

[Lord Bracknell]

My prediction ...

After 5 overs:- England 14/0

After 10 overs:- England 38/2 Vaughan 11, Strauss 8

Not bad, say I

After 5 overs:- England 18/1

After 10 overs:- England 39/2

Vaughan 5, Strauss 7

 

[Trigger]

Even Ian Bell can hit boundaries off Glenn McGrath, he must be way over the hill now!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

14th over: Eng 61-2
Wallop - Bell goes after McGrath and spanks him for three of the juiciest fours - one over cover, one cracked through point and another sweetly placed past extra cover. McGrath looks sick.



I am feeling dazed and confused.
