Geez I'm looking forward to this match - the atmosphere; the characters; the cricket; the mates; the $6 hotdogs; the two days off work; the sun spots.

Just everythin'.

The start of summer.

Good times. Good times.

Aussie - In time warp

unfortunately the rest of us will have to wait until 12.00pm for the first ball

12th Man: Clarke

agreed, Clarke wont be 12th man though as the selectors will want to give him every chance to play FC cricket this summer. They also dont usually pick batsmen as 12th men. Johnson or Tait will probably be the 12th man

Think he could like Perth.

As long as you don't do what Homer Simpson did when he had no beer and cable TV and went mad and wrote it all over the walls.

Craig · 21-10-2006, 03:18 AM

Anyway if England win the tooss they should bat first.

Bowling first against Australia usually does not work.
