I saw that inside edge even without hot spot. Very surprising that Malan didn't feel it.

Oh God. What did I do? OK I don't believe in you, but is that any reason to get Saints stuffed at Wembley and make me watch Steve Smith take the game away from England.

Here's the deal. I'll give up being an atheist if a) Smith is out next ball, followed by an Australian collapse b) Saints beat United at the weekend and c) we sell Van thingy for £70m and invest that plus another £80m in a decent striker with a few added all sorts.

What do you say, God? Come on, it's Christmas FFS

Come on, oh great bearded one. I'm 50% there. Deflection off Long's arse tomorrow and I'm within touching distance of a Damascene conversion.

Walcott and Giroud sign over the weekend, and a new amazing manager is announced and I'll be going Catholic.

Nice one Broad and of course Sir Alistair. The future looks a lot brighter today
 
Another fantastic day for England, and hats off to Lord Cook of Melbourne. Inexplicable from Malan not to review, for 2 batsmen in the same innings to effectively give themselves out is just weird. Huge props to Stuart Broad who had to face down his demons to carry England to a massive 100 partnership with Cook and a possible match winning lead.

It’s a bit like winning your last Champions League Group game, even though you’re already knocked out. :(

Bet you were a laugh a bloody minute over Christmas, Ebeneezer! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

I get hounded by my old boss... an Aussie. He’d piss himself if I cheered a good performance now and tell me that’s typically British.

I worked with an Aussie once. We were being battered by them in a match when rain saved us from defeat. Over a drink after work he mused:

"Only the English could invent a game where one team scores 700 and the other lot score 300 and it's a ****ing draw!"

Despite all the crap we have to take from our ex-convict brethren, I do love 'em. And screwing up the nailed on whitewash will give me a sense of achievement. Yep, we're a perverse bunch.

I’ll agree with that Lambo. We must stop the whitewash, but I’m not going to Lord any players after the first three tests.
