    Not claiming this btw, it's off the BBC website. I do like it though.



    You may find yourself on day five of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
    And you may find yourself needing to bat out the day to save a draw
    And you may find yourself having to face Nathan Lyon on a turning pitch.
    You may find yourself just hoping, hoping to hold on.
    You may ask yourself, "How did we get here?"

    I misread hoping as hopping.

    Made the mistake of going to Edgbaston today. Very sobering experience

    Travelling through Birmingham can do that to you.

    Yes I can see how you wouldn't like that. But getting off the train into the middle of a busy and vibrant city centre is a decent experience.

    Coventry ring road is the most ****ed up road system ever, did the person (s) who designed it know what they were doing?

    Going to Headingley, hopefully improves by then

    Which is why I said driving through it does that to people...

    Surely it is not more busy and vibrant than Kingston Sea?

    I put Kingston On Sea but it “corrected” it for some season.

    I first visited Birmingham when I was 18, and I was impressed.

    Worked in both places and thought Birmingham was a dump.

    Unlucky to lose Anderson after 4 overs which was decisive, but that was poor.
    Archer for Anderson and Leach for Moeen. Several others are on borrowed time though.

    Yes, losing Anderson and, err, not having Moeen really did for us. Oh, and the fact that they had one S Smith...
