Mate, my dad is sleeping on the couch downstairs right now so I could easily wake him if I microwaved the dinner left-overs, I also just saw that damned ad, I'm so hungry.
I could heat up some leftover pizza. Just not the same though.

Yeah it's not been good captaincy. Anderson shouldn't have been taken off in the first place and given Finn clearly wasn't bowling very well anyway; when Anderson came back on for Broad, Finn should've swapped ends rather than Jimmy.
Right on the money Prince.......you wanna job for The Land??

It's not interesting at all actually. It's incredibly boring.

'268/6' is considered an all caps post, so all letters in the post, including GIMH's quote, were turned into lower case
:laugh: That's actually really cool.

The bowling has been much two short since the second wicket went down...why Jimmy was taken off at his preferred end I do not know.
I assume Cook feels that Anderson can adjust to the Nursery end better than Finn can. As we only play three seamers, you've got to give one of them a shortish first spell, and it had to be Anderson so Finn could come on at his end. Usually they'd have taken Broad off.

Yeah there is a logic to it but the end result is you take off your best bowler, who has just taken two wickets, far too early.

And not only that, but the pressure is lifted momentarily, and now they won't get it back until after tea at the earliest.

Your an Aussie right?? Or one of the lucky bastards in the world like me.......lives in the sun and paradise but still gets to support the good guys??:p
I'm a bit of a plastic pom really; my mum's English and a lot of my dad's family is too but I was born here and have Australian roots a long way back too on my dad's mother's side. I support England in a lot of sports, including cricket, but I kind of abstain on the Ashes because I follow Australian cricket too and end up largely torn. My Englishness gives me a differentiating identity amongst Australians if that makes sense but I'd probably identify myself more as Australian if I did live in England.

So basically I've chosen to completely dodge the question. :ph34r:
The fact that my mates here give me **** if Australia beat England in a cricket match probably says a lot I guess.

Must've been a while since they were able to give you stick then. :laugh:
