Nice Bob!
I'll be right there with you, figuratively speaking, 2nd session onwards

Yep, ABC Grandstand all cued up and ready to roll at 7.30.

So, England have won the toss and will bat first.
What's a good score?
I'm thinking 420+.

Looking at the way the first 7 balls have swung, I'd say 350 would be a good first innings total.

The score is around the wrong way.......I turned the TV on at the end of the first and thought the poms were two out for zero runs grrrrr

Let's not get into you guys getting the score around the wrong way again.......

Nah, it's round the RIGHT way! It's only Australia in the whole cricketing world that show the scores as wickets/runs rather than runs/wickets.

98-2 at Lunch, interesting session, but II have to go to bed now... I was going to stay but I've just found out my first job in the morning is about 3 hours from home and I have to be there by 8.30....

Maybe tomorrow night.

There seems to be a bit of hope there, but hey need to tighten up the bowling a bit.
