Last Rites
It’s really strange. There’s another 15 minutes or so until play starts and I’m almost tempted not to watch. It’s like I’m about to view some sort of sordid event on live TV. A public flogging. It’s a weird feeling. Like I’m doing something I shouldn’t be doing. Forget watching the Saddam Hussein execution video on YouTube, this is serious hardcore depravity.
I’d rather be caught watching a video of Cherie Blair giving a goat fellatio than for anyone to stumble across me watching the next couple of hours of Sky TV.

Its 11.58 now. Guess it’s all over.

Hi Rahul,
Not quite but it’s just a matter of Australia knocking off the 46 runs to win. All very disappointing.

It was almost clinical in perfection.
Dude, I feel your pain and applaud you for not poking your eyes out with a fork during the many early and depressing hours you spent watching.
I, however, am lovin’ it

I had the aircon running, beer in hand, snags on the barbie all ready for a day of sitting and watching cricket.. and look what happens! Typical. The poms couldn’t even make it entertaining but we can hardly blame them for a lack of enthusiasm.
Any aussies sick of the boonie thing yet? http://www.davidboonfacts.com
What’s next, lifesize robo-boons with beer swilling action arms?

Eve - You’re spot on. It was clinical the way they despatched us and I have nothing but admiration for the Australian cricket team for the way they have played this series. If my eyeballs stay in place long enough, I will give some kind of review of the series over the next few days but for now, I’m going to mope around the house and kick the cat. Not that I have a cat but next door do.
Juno - Have you not watched any of this series? It was always going to be finished before lunch time. The English tail starts as soon as Strauss and Cook leave the dressing room….
