Writing, Not Following Last Few Overs of First Test
So I have no idea that Australia only need two more wickets and England a handful of runs to make Aus bat again and thus reduce overs and increase chance of securing draw. Only 15 overs remaining.
I AM NOT FOLLOWING IT AT ALL.
Writing, working hard, ignoring the nail biting finish.
COME ON AUSTRALIA!!!

Test? Did they bring their No.2 pencils for it?
(I kid…)
So, how are Oz doing? Not that you’re watching, of course…

Dave H Says:
I realize that, as an American, I will never understand cricket, and that I certainly have no right questioning the captain of the Australian cricket team.
But perhaps I wouldn’t have bowled Marcus North for two overs at the end of the match. After all, Australia desperately needed a wicket and Marcus North has taken exactly two (2) test wickets in his entire life. I might have, possibly, tried Mitchell Johnson.

I completely forgot about the Ashes. Hm, I don’t know who to support. I’m British but I love Australia. I think I’ll support both.
What’s a Pom supporter?
