No offence Vital.. I'm sure it's lots of fun to play.. and they are GREAT athletes..

There's no better form of cricket. My second favourite form of sport behind Aussie Rules
Love how it can go from Australia being up shit creek on Day 1 to a position where England virtually can't win the test after Day 3.
I did stay up until 3am for every night of the Ashes over there though, admittedly, it was heartbreaking to watch us get so close to winning a couple of times.

The thing with tests though, is it can just take one important wicket..to change the momentum completely..
That's what I love about it.. You just never know what will happen.

Yeah, exactly. You even look at that collapse yesterday. 2/82 to 8/91.
Could've just as easily been 2/500 at stumps today had we bowled some of the tripe we did last series.
I guess Australia performing so poorly recently after such a long golden period makes me appreciate Tests like this much more.

And Clarke is much-maligned.. but u have to admit he's a great batsman..
I think the whole Bingle~bungle circus really hurt his image. But he's ok by me.

He's a great batsman, and honestly, a really good bloke, but he's been around the set-up since he was practically a kid and you make mistakes when you're young.
I only had an issue with his tendency to throw his wicket away but he doesn't do that anymore.
He dealt with the Bingle issue fairly well I thought, her antics didn't do him any good. He finally gets some stability in his life and performs well and now they're calling him 'Captain Grumpy'. Piss-poor effort from our own media.

Should get enough play in tomorrow to get 2 wickets.
Glad I'll have something to watch! Would rather just win the damn Test tonight though.

Anyone been on the Hawthorn bigfooty forum. What a hideous wallpaper they have in the background. It's almost unbearable. I would love to see the Dogs equivalent, but we have more pleasant colours.

Apparently we have to win a flag first, I've already asked

They've got the worst colours in the AFL, I can barely stand looking at their guernseys let alone that horrid wallpaper.
