surprising that you post more insults aimed at me than you comment about cricket then, and that you apparently keep a running tally of the 'nasty descriptions'.

whatever.

England 385-8.

Looks a decent total judging by how the pitch is deteriorating.

If they lose from this position it'll have to be poor bowling.

Time for the spinners to show they can get the job done.

^ Flogged ! Hilarious ! Must have been the poor bowling, yes that was it.

The Paki's are suffering the same fate as the Poms did at their favourite first up test venue,known to them as the Abattoir, to us it is the Gabba.
First innings ..OZ 429....Paki's 8/97

England's batting looking a lot tighter after a lazy first session. In the morning it looked like they couldn't be arsed, but it looks like the riot act was read at lunch.

Yes, looks like they are intent on being all out by tea. Brilliant tactic putting the Indians in at dusk.

What on earth are you prattling about?

Ian Healey's talked me into it. I've sent off for a Steve Smith toby jug. A caricature of the great man, yet exactly what he looks like.

I love a bit of memmerubeeelyer.

I'll put it on the sideboard next to the plaster of Paris baggy green I bought last year

Smells like...history!

^ Can I interest you in a set of green and gold goblets engraved with a smiling Warney ?? Buy one now and get one free!!

Merry Christmas to all the TD cricket fans out there.

AND MAY THE BEST CRICKET TEAM ALWAYS WIN REGARDLESS OF THE NATION.

That last test between Australia and Pakistan has been rated the best test match this year and it was. Both teams deserved to win.

Ponting to join Aus T20 set up.

Warner gone .

Renshaw got his 50 up.

This Renshaw kid looks OK. 136 now and starting to open his shoulders, he's got all the shots.

English born Renshaw warming up for Ashes series in November. He's on 137 now !
Going to be hilarious every time he hits a century against the soap-dodgers, and I will be reminding them he is one of their own !

A bit of reading material for cyrille -

You missed out on more Michael.

There are more ?

Ed Joyce

Boyd Rankin

Scratch Ed.

Was thinking Eoin Morgan.

I like to bag the Poms for doing it, but every other country does it as well, uses overseas born players.
Growing up in Australia in the sixties, a lot of my mates were born overseas, and a lot of them were born in England.
Hope Renshaw is in the team that plays England in November, would be funny if he hit a load of runs against them. lol
