How is everyone getting on? Just had a blast of fresh, cold air to keep me awake. Important day tomorrow (job centre/bank and so on), but Ashes...

I used to love 'morning shopping' at Tesco when at Uni. Dangerous when drunk. I normally ended up with a two week budget spent in one night on crap. We had supermarket sweep a couple of times. Hide a tenner and go for it.

Well i guess it could have been worse, having lost a wkt first over, will be interesting second session.

A bottle of Penfold Bin 28 Shiraz has gone since the start of play & at 2AM so must I.....

To quote Michael Vaughan on TMS morning session is Even Stevens, really don't think much of the Aussie bowling so as long we don't f*** up our batting hope to wake up to a decent score by England...

Indeed. We can easily lose this if we are careless, but none of the bowlers give me the heebie-jeebies.

Caddick and Gough were excellent. Shame our batting didn't ever really match them.

[Barrel of Fun]

Glad to see so many enthusiastic fans still awake. 0237am and still going strong here in Littlehampton. Can see me lasting the course, unless this cider takes its toll

 

[Marc]

yeah its not for my own porn striptease honest got a mate who lives in Singapore and he only uses Skype so its a good way to visually swear at him everyday!


OK here we go, lets get at least 150 on the board before another wicket goes begging please!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I believe you, millions wouldn't?

I shall be in Verbier in 3 weeks with the cousin of KPs wife. Autographs later, gents.

 

[highway61]

90-2. what would you take at tea, realistically? i reckon id take 170-3, of course preferably just two wkts of course

 

[Marc]

nice start....probably should'nt say that as a wicket'll go down now!

i'll take 170-3 aswell but need to have 2 down only

you are as bad as me when it comes to putting the mockers on us lol

I do think that man for man both sides batsmen are pretty well matched, but if they hit the ground running our bowlers have the edge
