You live on a postage stamp ffs.

How is that relevant?

 

[Burgey]

You only have one time zone.

Hey Burgey, did you know that Sydney was closer to Antarctica than Perth

 

[Burgey]

Yes I do know that. Perth is also the most isolated capital city on earth.

When I said Wilpena pound isn't far from Adelaide, I meant it's only a half days drive btw

That wasn't the point he was making though

I bloody would hope you know that given it was you who informed me of said fact. Numpty.

But Perth offers you lot the opportunity to miss the first session, get up early and watch the last one and a bit at a not unreasonable hour, surely?

I think the oldest evidence of life on earth was found in the flinders ranges. Bill Bryson talks about it's discovery in his excellent tome Down Under

Yeah I quite like Perth. The only entire day I watched in 10-11 was Perth day 3 (sadly)

It does. Afternoon session starts at 5:10am IIRC.

Because of the way daylight savings works, you guys get things much easier though. Start times for us are midnight, midnight, 2:30am, 11:30pm and 11:30pm. IIRC start times for you lot in summer were around 8pm?

Was Precambrian ftr.

Sadly the **** persists to this day.

Was referring to the life form found in the flinders ranges

It's grim waking up early though. I don't do it for fun.

Away series. Better commentary, better conditions for the sort of cricket I like to watch, and I don't sleep anyway.

The recent test series in Bangladesh was perfect for NZers other than the dire commentary, dead pitches and low quality cricket.

So basically, just a 4:30pm start going for it. Which is ****ing perfect. Get to watch all but half an hour's play.
