I don't like Cricket

Live blogging from my sofa

We will be posting our random thoughts here tonight/this morning as long as i manage to stay awake. If you want proper cricket commentary bugger off to Cricinfo or the BBC. If you want to read random nonsense (which will get more bizarre as i get drunker and more tired), this is the place to be.

2.20 Just had a lovely little snooze can feel my bed calling. Back later if i can wake up!!!

1.30 Just dropping off and then bingo. Hayden goes!

1.20 Struggling now. Me that is, not England. Barmy Army strikes up.

12.52. A little better from England. Freddie bowling is overdue. Pringles + Brie + Beer + late night = indigestion

12.25 Oh dear. Terrible start. Harmison off after just a few overs. Anderson's first over goes for 10. Australia have thrown down the gaunlet.

12.01 Harmison bowling. Are those the two worst ever opening balls in Ashes history..?

Midnight: Here we go...

11.52 Nice looking girl singing the English national anthem. A fat All-Saint tribute band sings the Australian one (which is much better than our dirge).

11.36 Oh dear. Australia to bat. Sky fuck up the announcement.

11.33 Toss coming up. My prediction? England win toss, bat, post 600 and win the Test within three days.

11.20 Tonight i shall mostly be snacking on Pringles and Brie and drinking Carlsberg Export. I am still in shock about the decision to drop Panesar. Sorry Duncan i think you've made a mistake this time. Hope i'm wrong.

11PM So this is it, less than an hour to go. Sky's commentary begins. Gower, Botham and Hussain all wearing shirts from Primark. I'm so excited i'm almost moist. Bumble looks like he's about to explode. Giles or Panesar? Fucking Giles!!!! No!!!!!!
