Wow. Another Aussie author who enjoys writing dialogue and watching cricket. Landed here by luck. Glad I did. Great blog.

Cricket: perhaps one of the best series I’ve seen in a while, even though we lost. The only downside really was Matty Hayden – nice enough bloke who’s just out of form.

Now, time for some one-dayers and 20/20.

We went to days 1 and 2. Lots of fun, although I now have strange mottled arms from where I missed spots with the sunscreen! It was great seeing Clarke get his century. I take it you don’t rate him as the next captain? Also, we spotted John Aloisi a few rows in front of us in the Ladies Stand. Sigh. So lovely. It was a great test. And nice work Peter Siddle.

I’m hoping we can dangle enough cash in front of Warnie to get him to take Moores’ job.

I was listening to the Test Match Special podcast about the KP/Moores fiasco this morning and thinking “Oh, I’ll bet Justine is enjoying this enormously.”

I am probably evil, but, gosh, I love to watch the English cricket team implode.

A good day not to be an English cricket fan too. Oh dear oh dear.

I really enjoy Shane Warne’s commentary. But I could cheerfully kill Ian Chappell. With my bare hands.

Hear, hear (although Sri Lanka are looking a bit ordinary against Bangladesh in their series, so “not far behind” is relative). If Channel 9 accidentally sacked the majority of their commentators and left it up to ABC radio to provide the audio, that’d be cool, too. Things were almost thrown at the television a couple of times that I had to listen to them.
