The Ashes
-
Staying in Taupo with the mrs and her family. Needless to say we fucked off to the pub at the earliest opportunity. I watched a cool doco on mute. Great seeing Ian Chappelle, Doug Walters, Jeff Thomson, Bob Willis, Graham Gooch, Alan Border and various others being interviewed.
It woulda been even better if I could hear them.

haha Anderson doesn't even survive the first ball of the morning! all out for the overnight score, and a lead of 164.

Fuck that's kind of funny. Cummins must be looking forward to a good lie down, but given our collapse in the first innings I reckon we'll need to really fucking apply ourselves.
Anderson and Broad will be fresh, and I predict The Angry Lesbian will be out there in the first hour, given how uncomfortable Bancroft and The Waj looked on Day 1.

Bancroft got what they're calling a good ball.
The Waj was just fucking lazy. Time to boot him. Can't bat on the subcontinent. Hasn't recaptured the form he had a couple of years back where everything was gold.
If Renshaw was dropped for poor form, The Waj doesn't need to bat in Sydney. Give someone else a go, because we've won the series and can't tolerate laziness.

Hats off to Cook. Always a terrific effort to carry your bat.
Agree, well done that man. Cricinfo says it was the first time in the Ashes since 1979, so quite a few milestones fell in his innings.
Highest score ever for someone doing it too. Beat Glen Turner.

The first guy to be dropped has to be Moeen Ali. He's done nothing whatsoever since Brisbane and his batting in this game was disgraceful - shades of Tim Southee!
