Choose not to afford sky and the bbc only afford radio "BallByBall" commentry!! I sometimes see the "Abbridged version " on our channel 5 but it is a bit like 20/20crikkyball!! Dinner time and you are doing well ( 2 wickets per session )

Yeah I paid for a satellite dish that tunes into the Optus D2 satellite and gets a bunch of free to air programming, mainly the Christian content I'm interested in, which is quite good, at $240 Aussie dollars total cost, one of the best investments I've ever made. Other than that we just get free to air. We are getting more digital channels over here now, I guess you guys have a more advanced setup over there than we do here.
As for doing well, I am an optimist but we have a huge battle on our hands after Broad destroyed us last innings, & you have 1 1/2 days to do us in !!
Warn Was not Australian!!!!!(You Cheats) ......he was from a different planet!!!!!

Yeah he was in a class of his own eh !! We sure miss him now, mind you he's making a good fist of commentating & of course the IPL in India. I don't know if he's commentating on the telecast you get, but he's on ours.
You mean the old adversary who cannot forgive himself for making the poor who stole food to live , go to lovely Australia to live and the rest of use arrogant self righteous stay here !!!!! ..............r
Today`s the day big boy with 2 day`s of sunshine available , let battle commence - only the brave go over the top and as each field is set a test is set , each ball is fired a test is asked , each willow is swung a test , atest , atest...then as each shot comes at us a test is set - of fielder , of captain , of runner , of wicket keeper , of umpires Testing Testing - let arrogance and momentary flippancy be subdude - our teams of galantry tested for their nobility - to become worthy to hold THE ASHES ..........Dear brother by the grace of that first Easter............ ...............`chard

Ah yes Punter & the Huss in at the moment, we are in good hands, a very tall order in front of us but never fear, we can do it !!
both captains knew the pitch & we won't mention the Bledisloe - don't kick a man when he's down mate !!
delete edit We wont mention the missed Noballs either However...... Must dash to the shop as our one weekend of summer is upon the english for xtian BBQ and river swim .......r
Fair comment about the pitch - But consider this how many tsts over the last few years go to 5 days , also the regular over rate . also the regular wearing of helmets.... (BTW "Johnson is not a happy bunny" says CMJ) So let`s test the batsmen AND (broard is out) - Bugger I forget my train of thought ...AH england`s second innins total and aus first innings ........i do not think it is the pitch - With Pontin`s choice of bowlers (no special spinner to sacrifice a fasty) and the attitude the first day tends to sujest , you were setting yourselves out for a draw??? .............regards 417 the lead AND 19/18 rugger..(indisciplin decides the rugger AND may yet decide the TEST) .....................r

No the point with the pitch is that the curator prepared a spin friendly pitch knowing that Aust were likely to pick seamers again as in the last Test, therefore giving the poms an advantage, but I'm only joshing with you, all's fair in love & war as they say. You guys just played better than us & deserve the win, good luck to you. You have the bragging rights mate !!
Dear Petes , Thrilled you enjoyed the little ones ,a load of fun to see aren't they?I really enjoyed doing that shoot out in the sunshine ,we have had so much rain we are almost waterlogged , sloshing out to feed the horses is no joke at present LOL! Take care buddy ! Thanks for all of the lovely messages ! Toot a Loo
Bright sunshine today and sunday wet on monday Think the poor umpireing was fair so far what with missed no Balls and padbatpads whatever order it wasnot HOWZZZZATTTTTTTT!!!!!!! Thought you may be interested in this link....
Too right ! that pitch looks treacherous and anything can happen. England HAVE to get runs while Oz only need to protect their wickets to secure the draw !
Thanks Petey & congrats on thirtytooth ;-) nice shot that .............. Did you look at my Lambie album ,I got a lot of shots of those wee sweeties , they are precious aren't they ? Thanks for thinking of me ,I really appreciate it !
lol...i should be happy ANYONE calls me girly at my age. but of course i know you mean to tease, you mean flogging aussie.
i'm ok, surviving.....school, kids, house maintenance + too many worries and too many bills. i'm going to take a week off between classes from now on, i have some edits to post and catching up to do. :-)
