The Ashes

Two runs.

Two fucking runs.

I nearly cried. But fuck, what a good game. And what a good effort from Binga and Kaspa.

Hey!! I've been really slack about updating and commenting lately, it's not good.. the cricket caused me to come out from under my rock :P

Down Under is good! But cold and very wet at the moment, I can't wait for winter to end.. I'd love to be somewhere warm! How are things over your way? :)

Thanks!! *Hugs back*

Hot.. *Sigh* What I've give for hot weather right now ;) I don't even want to leave the house tomorrow, it's going to be 12 degrees (celcius, I'm not sure what that is in farenheit!)

No I haven't! I'm going to start watching season 5 soon, I swear. :P

...Your lot so nearly did it---I couldn't watch the last few overs,it was only the cheers from next door that alerted me of a win.Phew!This is worse than watching Tim Henman at Wimbledon!Maybe I should pass on the weather forecast for Old Trafford---after Friday,John Kettley said he was not confident of the weather,so maybe a draw;and another forecaster was not hopeful of the rest of August,thought the long-range outlook " a bit poor".BTW,to whom do you refer by the name of Binga? Not a name I've heard used for any of the players.

I was so nervous at the end, I was shaking..

Ooh, weather.. I hope it doesn't rain. Rain delays are bad enough, but rain delays when you're watching in the middle of the night are especially hard ;)

Binga's Brett Lee. Binga comes from Bing Lee, which is the name of a chain of electrical stores they have here.. It's better than the name his brother gets- "Ug Lee" ;)

It was the best game I've seen.. definately the most nerve-wracking one. I think I lost about 10 years off my life watching :P

I know! Not cool, not cool at all. Didya hear that Kaspa might not have been out? The ball came off his glove, but apparently they don't think his hand was on the bat at the time, which would have meant it wasn't out.. *sigh*

I want centuries next test. Centuries, dammit! From Australian batsmen. And more Warney spinning it a mile. :)
