Cricket. The horror, the horror.

I woke up in the middle of the night - well, 4.30am - and unable to get back to sleep, I switched on the radio and heard the score from Brisbane; it was tea, and Clarke was just out: 528 for 8.

I reckoned Australia would all be out for 600 or so, and that would be it for the day. At worst, England would just have to bat out the last hour - not too much to ask.

I fell asleep.

I woke up at 6.30am to find that Australia declared at 602 for 9; and that England were 53 for 3 - I'll just run that by you again - 53 for 3.

Jeez.

This is in some way unexpected? How can there be a storming, grandstand finish come-back in the final test unless they plumb the depths first?

And anyway, they Australians had probably set up the rounders bases in the wrong place or something.

Like you say - how can there be a storming finish?

Sorry about the insomnia - my circuit is now cutting in at a regular 6.30 instead of 5.30, which is good, but not when I don't get to sleep until 6.00

It doesn't actually bother me too much - I rarely feel the need to get up and do something about it (though when I do, I usually let rip on LJ!).

India, yesterday, were all out for 91!!!!!

Count your blessings.

Oh dear..! And India didn't even make it to thirty overs!

Give England time!

Is that good or bad, and for who?

[rhythmaning.livejournal.com]

Good for Australia, bad for England. Given your location, I would assume most of your neighbours would think it is very good indeed!
