I shall tune in to hear the first day. A triumph of loyalty over experience. That's if it goes ahead.. Weeshalsea..

England to lose by 8 or 9 wickets one way - or an innings again ...

[zoony]

Aye.. 'Appen.

Burns will make a century in both innings, Root a double, England to win by 350

well, as Burns isn't playing...

Mixed first day at Sydney - 126-3 sort of maybe yes, maybe no sort of a day, especially with so many breaks for rain. Seems to be a 'spot' on the wicket giving trampoline bounce - at least three deliveries, not especially short, have soared way over Butler's head for five wides. AT one stage both batsman and bowler were examining the ground in puzzlement!

I definitely won't be bothering Mike, not that I dislike any of them, I just feel too ashamed.

Does that alter the odds on him making that century?

Gets most of his runs that way ...

Sorry I know nothing of cricket or the man. Just rattling the cage for sadistic pleasure.

Listening to TMS and really enjoying it, despite the situation.. Jonathon Agnew is worth his weight in light-meters..

Looks as though the pitch is getting two-paced already on day two. In addition to the 'trampoline' deliveries a 90 mph effort from Wood effectively ran along the ground (exaggeration?)

Khwaja reaches his century on the brink of tea. He and Cummins have already put on 36 in 10 overs

[Michael Rolls]

Root dropping Khawaja on 28 is haunting England - now 132 not out

[Michael Rolls]

one of England's better opening stands! No wicket lost, 13 runs - of which Mr. Extras has contributed 9

Well I'm pleased at this staggering performance. Almost as decisive as...



I'm always one to accept a challenge. 

Guess who'll be the backup guest here when the inevitable(?) comes to pass a (probably) little later?
