"There are more English fans than Australian supporters inside the Waca today. Do the locals not realise the Ashes are at stake today? I suppose it is a Tuesday morning."
Shocking!
I'm putting it down to denial.
Half of me is expecting a 1990's Hugh Grant to swan onto the pitch, hit 500 runs before single handedly bowling the Australians out in time for tea.
The other half is were loose and i want watch.
Car crash is right.
I'm reluctantly still watching, but growing ever more concerned that this is turning into some perverse form of flagellation. I don't want to watch it, but I feel obliged out of self loathing.
'Mon the England!
