Great to hear, I was actually being a bit cynical about it becoz I was pissed that I'd taken the day off and the weather wasn't looking too flash. Would be fantastic if we got a full days play.

I'm filled with extreme jealousy. Here it's 10.20 in the evening, freezing cold, wet as ever and we're not getting any international cricket for many years.

Adelaide Oval is either a batting paradise or a seaming minefield and, with the recent rains we've had, wouldn't be surprised if it was far more of the latter than former. Could be an interesting day ahead. As I said earlier, my mate at the oval reckons there's pretty healthy covering of green. I still wouldn't bowl first but, it'd be tempting at least.....
I'm headed to the game tomorrow too which is just pure awesomeness.

Manyoo tickets are impossible to get hold of, and there's no way i'm standing with a bunch of Man City fans pretending not to be pleased when they go 5-0 down.
I'm only half-serious. Really i think this place is awesome to live in. But when you've lived in Belfast for most of your life...

Belfast, probably one of my least fancied places to live in the Western World..

Why's that? Have you been there?
I completely agree, it's just interesting to hear other people's perceptions of it.

Hmm, having never been to Ireland and being a Guinness fanatic I've often wondered how true the 'Guinness is better' theory is, as the thing is over here I come across really good Guinness and bad Guinness (relatively bad, it's always good) due to the way they clean the lines. Knowing Manchester as I do I suspect they don't take good care of the lines in the same way that they don't like after their teeth
- that's not to say that it isn't better in Ireland anyhow, and it is pretty much the only reaosn I ever want to go there (or do I, will it ruin my drinking forever more back home?!)Anyway, what time is kick-off?

And yeah, the Guinness is most certainly better in Ireland, as it doesn't travel at all well. The same reason it tastes so much worse out of a can. I have it on good authority that the Australians make a fizzy, sticky black froth and label it as "Guinness".
I'm not a Guinness drinker, but having worked behind the bar of an Irish pub i can safely say that the Guinness-pouring abilities of the English are shocking. Often they just pull it like it's a pint of lager and hand a fizzy brown glass of dick to the customer. More often they leave far, far too much to trap and end up with a similar effect but to a lesser extent. I have seen someone pour a pint of guinness properly once, and when i congratulated him on it he reminded me that it was because i had told him how to do it a week before.
