Dreadful...

Well the last 2 days have been dismal from an Englishmans point of view... so we write this test off... get some batting practice in over the next couple of days and come back strong for the next one!

Like some glutton for punishment am going back into the fray today, with Rachel, and I only hope that some Barmy Army fancy dress will keep me entertained. Or may be a cheeky double ton each from Pietersen and Bell...

Ashes Day 1

Just awaiting my cab to take me to Day 1, 1st Ashes Test 2006 at the Gabba... looking forward to 30degrees and lots of free flowing beer...
