Test The Ashes Fourth Test December 26-30 1000hrs @ The MCG

Yeah I've not been above the Arctic Circle in Summer. Only Europe in winter. I got close in Alaska and Canada but they were about the same latitude as Reykjavik. You're not wrong about it being a trap.

I have NEVER seen so many mosquitoes in my life. Man, it's like every bug known to mankind thinks its just gotta go hard while they can. There was still snow on the ground, from the winter, at a couple of those joints in Canada on the night of Summer solstice.

I dunno how they do it. The lady we stayed with in Finland said they eat Vitamin D tablets like lollies in winter otherwise they're just ****ed right up.

Yes, that was my first thought when i went there, that winter must be a real bitch.

Mick Molloy tells the story of the centenary test and people bring beer in with a bathtub

I remember the outcry when patrons were limited to just 24 cans on entry...haha

As the great T.Grieg said in the 12th man - “He looks a bit nerdy in those glasses, but as long as they’re not fogged up he should be able to swing the bat here”

I like it when they put the player’s District club next to their name. Todd has Hufflepuff as his.

Talking 4 quicks and using Webster (in for Green) to bowl some spin if needed.

Wonder if that will come to pass.

The Duckett video is so disappointing, i was expecting a punch up

And getting dobbed in or "grassed" as the Poms say by your countryman, thats treasonous.

 

[Gough]

nass and athers are terrific. shame neither 7 or kayo picked them up for the summer. key has always seemed like a deadset moron, crap when he was in comms.

Nas stood next to me while he was waiting to get onto the ground after the last Test and he looked seriously pissed off.

Boland will get a 5/fa and the G will be rocking. Let's ****en go.

Stokes' looking rough. I love that Fox Cricket is treating it like Stokes has just decided to invade the Falkland Islands when its a video from 2 weeks ago that almost definitely the team already knew about (not the video, but Duckett getting shitfaced). Even just the shaky press conference camera is ridiculous

Nobody, but nobody, eats their own like Poms. In ANYTHING.

Some briefcase w***er must have been a bit overzealous with his phone

You can spot the English at the pub a mile off.

They've got a look about them.

They'll either be sunburnt or as white as a ghost.

Or maybe it's that whiny pommy accent.

Its the dress. Its the same in the UK when I went to the pubs over there a couple months back.

Ive infiltrated Barmy Army HQ.

My god it stinks in here. None of them have seen a dentist
