Anyone from the UK?

Nothing worse then waking up with the 'beer fear'

or a Gin sin in my case

 

[jonnoback]

Morning all. It’s the weekend

or a Gin sin in my case

Or just bitter, generally in mine

Morning all. It’s the weekend

Certainly is…..although I’m not allowed to comment on that apparently .

 

[jonnoback]

Morning all, coffee most definitely required after watching cricket most the night

I need to take a look after a good first day.

I need to take a look after a good first day.

Don't!!!!

 

[metrifonate]

The cricket is interesting! The pitch has suddenly gone dead.

 

[tugger1987]

I need to take a look after a good first day.

Don’t do it

What’s the ashes without snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

A great skill we have.

Fine trait of the English sports teams

Fine trait of the English sports teams

If there was a sport of capitulating we would be world champions or would we start winning

 

[metrifonate]

Could have done with head this morining but not that sort.

I wouldn't if I was you

 

[jonnoback]

I already did. Had to see how bad we were. Pitch must have been terrible for four innings in two days! That’s an Aussie fix.

 

[hugh_jarce69]

We weren’t bad. When the Aussies were staring at needing the highest score of the match they were clearly nervous. Interesting how they managed to wrestle the momentum back. Had both openers gone early it could’ve been quite interesting
No doubt about how poor the pitch is. It was same for game v India last year. And the bounce disappeared in the afternoon & so did the movement.
Still feels like an opportunity lost. Day nighter next, & not sure they’ve ever lost one at home

 

[jonnoback]

And isn’t it a new stadium? It’s not even the WACA but still the same result.

 

[tugger1987]

You have to question the pitch, the whole test being done in 2 days. Was no doubt exciting but world class players unable to get a score indicates no contest between bat and ball.

 

[metrifonate]

The pitch was suspect, not a test wicket.
Then England batting full bazball on large grounds. It's not Grace Road or Tunbridge Wells. Those hits are not going in the pavillon.

 

[jonnoback]

There’s 100% chance of rain all day today. It is and I’m off to the football. Think my chips will get soggy and that’s just awful.

 

[tugger1987]

Im home alone and have zero plans so staying in the dry and watching games on tv.

I know a game you should watch for brownie points

(I don’t have Sky)

 

[tugger1987]

I know a game you should watch for brownie points

I’m already going to watch it

 

[tugger1987]

I’m already going to watch it

especially since nobody wants/is free to come out to play today

 

[TheWorldBuilder]

Afternoon all. There was a slight disturbance to our usual tranquility last night; of which you can find the very final act timed around 1:35am.

Certainly is…..although I’m not allowed to comment on that apparently.

Comment on whatever you want, Tugs, you weren't the pisshead trying to pick a fight with a rival.

I suppose I should go find out if i owe anybody an apology from last night

Not here you don't. The one who does was ejected by the bouncers and, as they're tiny tidy ladies, they even wiped up all the mess he'd left.
