I love cricket!!! Played it in University. It's such a beautiful sport. I saw England play West Indies at Lord's. Incredible experience.

England playing Australia at MCG on boxing day 30 degree heat and an esky full of cold beers is the greatest laugh on the planet.

The Ashes are almost upon us chaps. Any sportsmen's wagers on the result? ???

1 test down, 9 more to go. That was riveting stuff today and I thought Australia were going to nick it. Thankfully Jimmy Anderson was able to sort his cramp out over lunch and ensured that England edged home. Phew!!!

After a good stand, which of course got me worried, and of course Root took them both out, the humiliation continues. Sorry Aussies, this is not Cricket this is the Ashes….

Smartarse! I'm sure it looked fine to an Englishman! Maybe GM can give us a spectator's perspective when he gets back. Lucky fellow!

Yeah I know the Aussie team is pretty bad these days, but seeing an umpire make such a poor decision still hurts.

Clarke better fire today, or we're fucked (again)! :o

Fuck. I cursed him, eh.

Dammit

Ps. Your mate Broady is going to cop it from the crowds when he comes out here in a few months. That "non-walk" in the first test (when clearly caught behind) has not been forgotten!

This effing walking thing is a modern invention. Pre WWII no one ever walked, the umpires are there to make the decisions…..WG Grace would never walk "The crowds have come to see me bat" was his attitude.....

And that's why WG Grace hasn't been selected in the English side for quite some time.

Its a gentleman's game, supposedly.

No it's not. If it were you lot would not be able to put a team together….

On a more level headed basis. Go out there and read as much as you can about Broad not walking. Funnily enough, most of the most critical and vociferous articles are from the Australian press....

So now you want me to be level-headed?

Why can't I be one-eyed? It's our tradition.

I was lucky enough to get an invite to Old Trafford for day 1 yesterday. Only managed a couple of half-decent pics - probably due to the drinking starting at 10.30am…

816s at the start of play...

Quick panorama…
