Walter, you been researching Kate Moss and Claudia in an effort to learn about cricket?
....Well I suppose you have to start somewhere...not a bad place really, especially if you dont actually like the game.
Bloody weather and light - or lack thereof!
I dozed off at the rain break after lunch, and surfaced just as they're wandering off in bad light!
So - at 3.30am, cricket's gone, I'm wide awake - reading the paper and playing on this machine.
But - I've just discovered there's tennis - Roger Federer and that well known yobbo from South Australia, Lleyton Hewitt! Semi-finals of US Open. See ya later!
sorry margo
but I've ordered better weather tomorrow
just enough for Aus to get a faint glimmer of hope
then snuff it out
we can be so cruel
Well, what a day Sunday turned out to be!
Flintoff ripped through the Aussies....and Shane was OUT FOR A DUCK!
All out for 367.......HOORAH!
England stood at 34-1, when Steve's weather prediction came true and they all buggered off because of bad light.
Funniest comment of the day (radio 5 live)...from two Aussies, watching the match from somewhere down under.
When asked what they thought of England choosing to leave the field because of poor light (first time), one replied: " I can understand it....Shane WAS bowling at 58 poms an hour"
Priceless.
Should be a great day of cricket ahead......weather set fair, and light is adequate.
Whoever wins this deserves the applause. Both teams have succeeded in giving their best, and we should all be proud, whatever our nationality.
Good luck everyone.
"Good luck everyone" !!
What sort of perverted sentiments are those? This is about beating the Australians, not some gentlemanly game.
Really LordE you must maintain a proper sense of inbalance and partisanship in these matters. I had to reprimand Margo earlier for similarly being far too even handed and generally not behaving like a beastly Australian as we know they all are really especially Warney...
well bowled warney (mutter mutter)
Peterson six. Did I spell his name right?

The other guy is called Eriksson ... but that's one in a REAL sport.
Pieterson I think (south african origins)
Pietersen just hit his 7th six. !
England cruising to take the Ashes!
Splice the mainbrace
Ring the church bells
Break open the tinnies
Prepare victory parade down Earls Court road
I think it is just about wrapped up now. 5.45pm, tea at six, Vaughan will declare....they wont bother coming out to bat, as there is nothing to gain.
Well done lads!
Well done and farewell to Glen Mc Grath and Shane Warne. Stupendous players, who are retiring from the international scene before the next Ashes.
Shane Warne must be about the best spinner the world of cricket has ever seen.
He also takes a bloody good thrashing pretty well.
<Sorry Margo.......couldnt resist.>
Barmy Army..........Barmy Army............Barmy Army.................
"...who are retiring from the international scene before the next Ashes"
yes very well done
I dont know why, maybe it's the fact that WE WON THE ASHES.....but I feel a SONG coming on....................
<turns volume up and opens Champers>..........
A little bit of Monica in my life <dances around, groovily>
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man
Bup Bap doo doop.....bup bap doo doop.....bup bap do doo doop BAM
A little bit of Monica in my life

I'll be back in a mo....there's a conga in the street I have to join....
ahmen
Didnt those Aussies lose well? Seriously Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne spoke very well with Michael Atherton.
conga still to pass by here Lorde but will join in 250 mi congaeelash line when it does
I'm so proud my knowledge of cricket have improved! (I know what a wicket is.)
I think I'm joining the conga...
And in two days, we'll have Ash Wednesday, correct?
well done Francis
head of the conga line for you
wicket, thats good, rhymes with cricket
(you know there are two wickets?)
no sorry one step at a time, dont wish to complicate things
Steve, I know about the two wickets. But thanks for heading the conga line.
I'll go with that, Walter!
And now it's the Kolanka Cup for polo, right?
Tony Blair has sent his congratulations to the winning England team.
(So has Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II)
SOMETHING MUST HAVE HAPPENED
Walter, Ash Wednesday. Thats after Pancake Tuesday isnt it?
