Dear Santa,
I've been good this year, but not as good as I usually am (my average is down 14 runs). I've won the Ashes and, even though that mean Clarke fella has taken them from me, I think I deserve lots of presents this Christmas, especially as it's also my birthday.
Swanny has taken his ball and gone home, Stuart has a bad foot and Kevin, Jimmy and Matt haven't been playing nice. It could be tough if you can't help out.
So, this Christmas (if you could come a day later it would be even better), I'd love a new spinner, a fit Broady, lots of runs from my top order (especially me) and some from help from my mates.
Please come Santa, I can't bear another Christmas nightmare like the 5-0 of 2006-07.
Your pal,
Alastair (aged 29 and one day)
PS. Please, please, please, please let me win the toss
Bollocks, that's 4 in a row now you useless tosser!!!![]()
Australia win toss and bowl (2330 start)
Panesar in for retired spinner Swann
Bairstow replaces Prior behind stumps
Stuart Broad fit; Australia unchanged
England well on top with a single from the first over.
England smashing Johnson for 8 in that over. 9-0, only 1 team in it

Johnson off after just 2 overs bowled. 13 runs conceded. Carberry still on nowt
I don't know whether it was UK media or Australian media, but contacting Swanns grandmother is pathetic journalism....... From Jim Swanton and John Arlott to this.
Fucking pathetic.
"There is something gone wrong there and I blame the Australian players. Not all the Australian players, a certain one," Mina Swann, 89, told The Journal newspaper in Newcastle in the UK
Johnson smashed out of the attack, England dominating.
Like the fans on Teak Door only one side has turned up to play today!!!
Willy should be posting from his seat......
Carberry becomes the first England player to score 200 runs in the series.....555555

Good start by the Poms today and hopefully they will turn up for the 5 days this test.
I am very surprised that Prior has been dropped for this game. Yes his confidence is shattered but the only way to get it back is to play.
Disappointing to see Cook playing at a rising ball outside off stump with 3 slips waiting.
Harris has been the pick this morning, tempting the batsmen with some loose balls across the wicket
Wish I was there.... even 3-0, Boxing Day Ashes test.... glorious, I didn't like Melbourne first time I went but it's an awesome city now.
Beats sitting in my office in Bangkok, but at least we have full day commentary.
1 a.m. in the uk, gotta get some sleep after the first session. Could wake up to yet another nightmare![]()
lunch at the cricket and 30 min to the gun for the Hobart
gotta love Boxing Day
Sorry, sorry, slept in.
I'm here now.
What's happened.
