Just what I was thinking.

You have the tide slowly coming in and you should enjoy that. Then you have a few big waves, which you them enjoy.

You don't need a tsunami every 20 overs.

Everything has it's place. I like the fact test match cricket has so many breaks to eat nice food.

How many sports do that?

It's my birthday on Sunday, and a while ago I'd considered pottering over to watch the last day...



Doesn't look like I'll have to bother.

I bet the ECB & Warwickshire CCC are hoping for the Aussies to get a total here.

True. Will they have an insurance policy against ticket refunds?
They definitely used to for weather related refunds.

I am sure you could buy a policy for early finish but they certainly didn't do so 10+ years ago when I knew about such things.

I don't think we're being particularly bullish.
It's becoming abundantly clear that it wasn't bullish, but it was bullst.

England have played really well here, Australia have played like s.
