Perhaps [MENTION=25]Gwylan[/MENTION] can run the 5th Fantasy Test instead, or are Bradman and Trumper already back on a Steamer to Oz?

Fully expected this to happen, first Cricket of the year after a glorious spring and early summer, should have lumped some cash on.

I'm around a mile away and it's cloudy and dull, but not raining at the moment

I was going to run it this week but I got tied up in something. The all-time Australians have been touring the country - they've just beaten Surrey by an innings

Great comments. I missed Ward's question at the beginning, I hope this was a response to " Michael are you surprised at England's decision to go with Dom Bess as the sole spinner?"

Sky are having an absolute mare here, cameras unavailable, no scorecards, no replays... all in the first over of the restart

Oh and a player bowled out for a duck leaving the ball, could it get anymore English.

Can we have some of our Fantasy England players available?

Hobbs, Compton and Hammond might be useful...
