The first test vs the arch enemy starts tonight.

Australia vs England from Cardiff in Wales

Live on Gem if you want to watch. Some late nights will occour over the next week.

Plius, the Australian team are wearing black arm bans.

That was some of the worst "pre-match entertainment" since Meatloaf graced the stage at the Grand Final.

Disagree. I loved it.

Each to our own I guess.

 

[mattymac]

Even for the poms that was some pretty naff pre-match

Godammit why does channel 9 have to ruin it with their own commentary team? I quite like sitting up listening to bumble and co of a winter's evening.

Healy and Taylor. Thanks channel 9 you arseholes.

 

[Doctor B]

First wicket. Pitch looks like a shocker.

The grandiose version of David Bowie's Heroes was cringeworthy but the anthems were stirring. Thought everything else was good.

I loved the under the southern cross and come from a land down under.

Yeah that was great.

Loving the bright yellow caps on the Aussie fans too. Gives us a bit of a presence at the ground.

Couldn't see or hear through my bleeding eyes and ears after Heroes

The ball in swinging more than a group of people who chuck their keys into the fruit bowl on any given Saturday night.

Are you serious? This is tremendous news if true. What, then they'll switch to English commentary?

Actually don't reckon he bowls that well to left handers. Swings it away too much so that they don't play. Then he adjusts his line and it doesn't swing - goes down leg.

Hazelwood on the other hand... custom made for English conditions. Could have a bumper series.

 

[Scorpus]

England are s**t #banter
