God what a depressing morning. Back to commuting after 2 weeks paternity leave, I wake properly after a disturbed night's sleep at 6.15am to see this absolute shambles playing out on my telly and rain and gales lashing the house.
All Fletcher's bad decisions are coming home to roost. Glies in...
:bounce:
I'm EXCITED! Bubs is asleep but due a feed at 1am which means I'm watching for a good while and England have the possibility to post 400+ today. Here's hoping Colly gets his ton and KP hits Warne for SIX again.
450 needed for par England...you can do it....
:lolol:
It's the lack of sleep.
Actually it's also on the very supersticous basis that as I got Northwich so wrong if i put us down for a loss here to we might actually win by an innings and plently.
I'm the worst tipster in the world. I had us down to LOSE to NORTHWICH :down:
Tell you what - if we win the toss and bat and McGrath is out we could scrape a draw. Any other combination and I reckon we're 2-0 down.
Neither side announced yet. Aussies sweating on McGrath's fitness, us probably tossing up between Giles at 8, Panesars wickets or even playing both and dropping Anderson or Harmeson.
I'd definately take a draw. It's stating the bleedin obvious but you need to be able to take 20 wickets to win a test and with Harmy doing his best scattergun impersonation, Simon Jones out probably FOREVER and the Turbanator on the bench we'll be lucky to take 20 wickets in the series.
I will...
