    Like some of our daft red tops. Remember that South Coast team nonsense.

    Australia win the toss and bat. That is not good. They could pile up a huge score.

    Or they could be bowled out. There's always a positive alternative. especially when nothing has happened yet. :)

    The pitch is a beauty for batting. I will be very surprised if they make less than 350.

    Tremlett concerns me. I hope he comes good but he doesn't have a great record recently. The sooner Bresnan gets fit again the better!

    Happy that Tremlett got the nod, Finn doesn't have the control and we can't afford to give away cheap runs.

    Going to get very short of sleep whilst the Ashes are on. Nor that I intend to watch it, but there is no going back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night. I remember it is on and have no chance of getting back to sleep. Only 1 wicket since I started watching, so probably my fault. Good first day for England, but we need to finish them off.

    Yep. Aussies have screwed up again. Should bowl them out for less than 300 which would be excellent.

    Broad's taken them to the cleaners. I thought the Australians would be a bit more savvy than that.
