Frankly - Ive got more interest in what coloured under pants I'm going to put on this morning..!!!

Seriously - ive never understood what the attraction was with cricket - until my mate (who also hasnt got a clue about cricket either) went to a test match with a customer and said it was one of the best laughs/pi55 ups he'd ever had !!!!

Deffo on my list of things to do next year - then maybe i'll understand what all the fuss is about..!

Mind you - I did play rounders at school - does that count TP..??!!!

Did you hear that the Barmy Army has worked out it can get tickets to games by joining the Aus Cricket Association as Australia supporters?

Sadly?

That's funny that the Barmy Army are now Australian Supporters

Will they wear green and gold too?

It starts tonight

I kind of don't want to see that happen to be honest.

Part of me wants the Aussies to win every test on the 3rd day! But the other part wants a good contest, some compelling cricket! If we win I don't think it will be that easy to be honest, there's some world class players in the England side.

Coverage starts tonight: Sky Sports 1 @ 10:30pm

Come on Aussie!

I hope England win but very much doubt it. I think Australia will win and voted accordingly.

I don't know why I voted, I hate cricket anyway, rugby is a different matter.

Beautiful sunny day at the Gabba, I've watched the cricket there before! It's a two beer walk from there to the house I still own in Coorparoo

About three wee's though ...

The players are taking the field, I'm all excited ... I've been waiting since the Donington round of DD last year when we finally lost the series to you bastids!

Matty Hayden and Justin Langer are walking out ready to do Australia proud - come on boys!

Only 9 off the first over! To be fair one of the 4's was a streaky edge through the slip cordon.

Sheesh, Harmy needs to get the nerves under control!
