        I forgot about Shoaib Akhtar being a chucker too. He used the Murali "hyper-extension" excuse.

                  I don't know shit about cricket, but I'm a fan of the Panama women's team.

                    Thread resurrection seeing as it's Ashes time again.

                    Incredible fourth and fifth days in the first Test. Ok, the pitch was as flat as a witch's tit but for Cook and Strauss (and Trott) to start jumping all over records set in the 20s by the great Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe (and Frank Woolley) - and at the bloody Gabba of all places - signals that we should be in for another great series.

                    Let's just hope that we get a few more result pitches and less 624-2 pitches later in the series.

                        Well actually the HUGE story in cricket at the moment is the Colin Metson/Matthew Maynard situation at Glamorgan CCC and the subsequent meltdown at the club.

                        But that doesn't make for good television so they've put on a few meaningless international series to keep us occupied in the meantime.

                          Australia 2 for 2 after 2 overs.

                          First time in my life I've seen England have the psychological advantage over Australia.

                          Edit: 2 for 3

                            Far more interested in the Windies - Sri Lanka tests tbh.

                              Amazing bowling from Anderson in particular last night

                              If Cook and Strauss can see off the new ball... we should be good to set up a large first innings lead. Then hopefully it will spin later in the test for Swann.

                                Anderson can bowl like a demon when he wants to; Broad too. If they can just add the consistency to bowl well in every innings in every match then they could become the most feared opening partnership since the Wasim/Waqar, Ambrose/Walsh, Donald/Pollock, McGrath/Someone else glory days of the 90s.

                                It looks to be a good Test Match pitch as well. Before play started you had Steve James saying it was a must-bat pitch and then Michael Holding saying he would love to have a bowl on it even at his age. I only saw the first session but it looked to me like a 'you get out what you put in' type of pitch. You can get a double hundred on it or you can take 8 for not many if you really want to.

                                It will be a result pitch though.
