If I had the money i'd pay for the plane tickets, ****ing convicts.
Head gone. Literally. Can’t beat good head but not on this occasion.

We’ve played a perfect test match would be a real **** if we don’t get to finish them off, and they retain the Ashes.
Looks like tomorrow’s a wash out, just hope there’s enough play on Sunday to finish them off. At least the bowlers will be rested for a day, to really have a go.
