    What a test this has been.

    I've been watching it whenever I get the chance because her indoors thinks it's unreasonable of me to want to sit in front on the telly from 1100 to 6.30 all weekend.

    Luckily she finds Henry Bloomfield a bit of a cad and enjoys his commentary so I can at least listen to Test Match Special when en route to the usual weekend haunts.

    B and Q, Waitrose and various other places that suck the will to live from my inner core.

    Do gay blokes have this sort of problem?

    Agron, do they?

    Lunch; Aussies need 20 runs, England need 1 wicket!!

    This match is as good as Cricket gets and if the other tests are going to be as close we're in for a real treat

    Anyone who prefers Twenty20 cricket to test match cricket just needs to have watched this game.

    No idea if any of the players will actually be able to stomach any lunch, because i can't!

    I'd still rather we win by an innings and twenty runs.

    I've just come back from St Stephens, two gay lads were having a tiff round the fresh produce. They're no different, I cant say it was over one wanting to go home n watch the Ashes. But there was the same moodyness, tuts and "I'm fine" from one of em.

    Wow. They'll be debating that finish for a while!

    I definitely heard something, but the England players didn't look convinced that he'd hit it, and the white mark on hotspot was there before the bat reached the ball. Must have been the audio that convinced the third ump.

    Edge later confirmed by Snicko.

    I think Finn may have played his way out of the Lord's Test on his home ground. Onions could do a job, but Bresnan is likely to come in instead.

    I'd also not be surprised if Oz dump Cowan to make room for bad boy Warner.

    What a great game, you can't beat test Cricket, thankfully with the right result. Well come boys, and Anderson is awesome.

    Even if we'd managed to lose that, *that game* was why I love test cricket.

    That must have been at the latest 2010 then.

    Did you not notice he had a professional boxing match last November? And that he has a had a couple of his own TV series?
