Ashes two
Another Thursday, another cricket match against the Aussies.
First off, let's hope the all is well in London (and everywhere) today - twice recently my Thursday morning cricket TV viewing has been compromised by the mindless maniacs making bomb attacks on London. I really don't want to be watching News24, Skynews, and/or ITV news today to find out what attrocities have been commited once more.
Brummie update - toss crucial today; give it the double flick Vaughny! Ponts always calls heads, so put it on the thumb with the tail upside OK?!? Once you win it, put them in! Only way to win on that pitch it seems. Don't worry about Warney bowling on it last - if the game only goes three or four days then it won't spin at all anyway. Oh, and keep Gilo in and Tremlett warming the bench. We shouldn't need five seamers unless one of them isn't good enough, and we know they are!
If we lose the toss, plan something else for Sunday as I reckon we'll have been stuffed by then.
