Ashes to Aussies, dust to us.......
Well done, at last, to Bairstow and Stokes...but a collective 27 from the rest of the top seven batsmen sadly tells the same old story.
Shocking. Its done wonders for my sleep pattern though as I've not watched any of the last three tests live, what's the point?Quote:

Well done to Bairstow and Stokes with good support from Wood but the rest, try ludo!
Nope, the bottom line is that it's taken the fall of 67 wickets before someone gets a ton! Says it's all!!
Who’d a thought? A draw...we didn’t lose...some fight at last! Got to start somewhere. Well played Jimmy and Co.
Without wishing to be a miserable old git (fails miserably) If the result was based on a league table it would read:
Winner.............. weather
Runner up (on a count back but with max bonus points)................ Australia
3rd.............the pink wearing crowd and their generosity to a marvellous cause
4th...............the Barmy Army (always reliable)
5th...............the sight screen
6th...............the other sight screen
7th...............the boundary rope(bright and cheerful)
8th...............the umpires
9th...............the commentators
10th.............my missus for the Peddy
11th.............anybody or anything else I've missed
12th.............mmmmm England (for only being 80% crap!)
The 5th Test awaits!!
I think I like your missus ;)Quote:

Clearly, I have a serious problem so I am arranging an appointment with my trick cyclist! Bangs his head against the wall!
