How can it be raining? We're in the middle of a drought here, and it hasn't rained more than a couple of drops since mid April. Bloody Wales!

Good piece by Nasser on Morgan just then.

Looking forward to this series. Always a favourite of mine the first morning of Test cricket in the England summer.

I struggle to see any result other than England winning with ease. I will quietly support the underdogs in Sri Lanka though.

Nearly fell off my chair laughing reading this comment somone wrote into cricinfo with

Siddarth: "This England bowling attack lacks variation. Finn, Broad, Anderson Tremlett are all similar bowlers, perhaps someone like Sajid Mahmood or Tim Bresnan who hit the deck would have been much better." Except, of course, Bresnan is injured.

Short bit on Tremlett's Ashes wickets afterwards. He really bowled an impeccable line to earn his wickets.

Sorry, forgot you were Welsh.

So every time it rains during any England match for the next ten years we're going to get highlight pieces on Alistair Cook scoring runs out here.

FML.

We've had almost constant rain up here since April, so enough of your drought talk.

Star Cricket had highlights of a Sanath knock were he gave Gough/Hoggard some tap, was good viewing.

Just hoping Cook becomes the new Chris Broad.


Speaking if which, is Lady Boy playing today?

 

[Spark]

You mean RyanStuart Broad? Should be.

Seriously? I didn't realise that. It's been so dry here my garden is brown and the plants are dying. I just assumed it was like that everywhere.

 

[Nate]

You know, It hit me just this morning how much I'm actually looking forward to this. That sense of anticipation just before a big Test match starts.

Haha, same.

Nothing like Test Cricket.

Haha, jammy git.

On Monday we got some lovely 80mph winds to provide a nice gentle summer's breeze...

Haha, brilliant, just got my comeuppance. I just noticed out of my office window that it's started to rain. Walked to work without a coat this morning.
