Well today has it all ( so far), it is F(ryan)day and it is Test Match, we have a cricketers posterior and it is 5.36am UK time and I have been listening to the cricket since 3.45am!! Yes indeedy, something woke me up and made me put on t'wireless, and just in time to hear KP given out!!!! And it didn't stop there. Bell came in and before he could open his mouth to speak he was out. Root came in, Prior came in and was out for a 'golden duck'. Root was out, Swann was out and then Broad got boo'ed as he came in. And then it was tea!!!!! For goodness sake.
So how did this all pan out score wise? Well England lost 6 wickets for 9 runs. which meant that the scoring was tres poor to say the least. So here it is in glorious monochrome. ( updated now as more wickets tumbled after tea)
Cook 13
Carberry 40 ( top knock from the boy!)
Trott 10
Pieterson 18
Bell 5 ( not alot to talk about there!! but sure he will try)
Root 2 (WTF!!!)
Prior 0
Broad 20 ( he'll be rested for the next test!)
Swann 0
Tremlett 8
Anderson 0
Yes a cracking performance from the Australians which I think has done what needed to be done, which is to silence all the cricket punditss with their 5-0 to England scores. Yes I know it is early days but with this very poor show of batting England need to up the game a lot!!!
And then England were all out for 136, meaning they were 159 runs behind. ( approx 6am UK time)
Australia are currently in batting!
Oh dear me, this has hardly set me up for a great day at super swanky Lady Lainey office!!!
So what plans for the weekend. Well my friend Y Bird is coming over tomorrow to borrow a Tuxedo to go to a murder mystery party. Dame Didi is calling over on Sunday and tonight I am going to crack open a bottle of wine and watch French films!!
Bliss!!
And then get up at stupid o'clock to see what is happening down under!
