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.

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!).
