Ashes 2010/11 thread
 

Don't know if anyone else on here is following, but as it's a matter of national pride I thought it was worth a thread.

Looks like a brilliant start... Captain losing his nerves and South Africa to the rescue. It's going to be a stressful series.

just play one game and be done with it. 90 minutes.

Pah... real men do it for 5 days with breaks for lunch and afternoon tea...

I stayed up all night. Made a duvet nest on the sofa. May well do the same over the next few nights as I've booked a few days off work. I've already warned the family that on Christmas day this year I shall be taking a power nap at 6pm to prepare for the start of the Boxing Day Test on TV.

At least working at Lord's means that most of the staff will be up watching it so we're all as knackered as each other. The senior management have gone to Aus so aren't around to moan about us all being tired at work.

Not many cricket fans on here then? Lol

Can't say that I blame you - not the way England play.

Re: Ashes 2010/11 thread
 

Even if you don't like cricket you have to admire the way England are playing. Cookie's knock made this Essex girl very proud and seeing Ponting get a golden duck was magnificent today. I'm once again making my bed on the sofa so I can watch for most of the night. Come on England!

all i can say on this is:

QUACK!!!

Re: Ashes 2010/11 thread
 

I too watched it through the night, and I've watched the highlights twice today. I've napped this evening and will be in bed very shortly with the alarm set for 11pm.

does anyone know what the 'kick off' was about at the end of the 1st day's play?

Bring it on! :)

Heathen! :smt071

So you don't want multiple cans of Grolsch and whisky to help you through the night.

sausage butties at 3am.



P.S. please don't forget to rub the skirting boards down before you go;)
