@Dutchy,
Quote:Congratulations Spendi, your boys showed who is the better side in this series.
It's no good congratulating me Dutch. I just sit and watch the silly sods torture themselves. I find it entertaining. They're all mad as far as I'm concerned. Even my genetic connections to what you call "my boys" is unlikely to be much different from those of "your boys". I'd find it hard to believe I had no transported ancestor. Especially in the female line. The male side seems dominated by tolerance and a law abiding docility and easy-going lethargy.
Let's face it--half way through the afternoon session in hot humid conditions close-of-play must seem a long way off. And not just for the players.
Mac's idea of preparing a seamer's wicket for the next matches has already been discounted. It would have been the first thing to be considered. Not doing that was to take account of Mr Anderson who can cause havoc on a pitch of such a nature. And a spinner's paradise is the last thing Australia needs. A part-time spinner got Australia's vice-captain out for goodness sake's. I expect more flat tracks and better batting.
I take nothing for granted at this game. Try a day with the Barmy Army. Dig England on the cheap. And no intimate body searches at airports.
Who do you support when Australia play Holland?
