When I left home this morning from the laughingly-named Nottingham East Midlands Airport (in Leicestershire, post code Derby, nowhere near Nottingham), it was pouring.
When I spoke to the missus half an hour ago, it was pouring.
4 days to go - it'll stop.

I was just going on Pedro's comment earlier, to be honest. Can't tell much beyond Friday, but it does look like the rain is clearing a bit by Thursday.howardj said:

Heh - although it's possible he'll have developed a pathological aversion to it similar to the one he has for enforcing the follow-on...howardj said:
I'll say one thing - Tait has a media hype squad that's really rivalling Brett Lee's. Watching the TV news and reading the papers you'd think he'd already been selected.

Dennis Lillee advocates his inclusion, and that's good enough for me - get him in the side.Slow Love™ said:Heh - although it's possible he'll have developed a pathological aversion to it similar to the one he has for enforcing the follow-on...

(I'm working on the premise that Lillee's been wrong about everything else he's said about the Ashes series, so I think he's on a roll)

Better ask Warney's mum's chemist's best customer what he recommends to get me back on my feet as quickly as possible.
His powers of recovery are legendary - especially if there's a camera around.

That's a rough guide up until Monday morning. Looking good for few days of cricket at least.

Though downpour expected on Wednesday so could make the choices at the toss all important.

I really dont see how you can justify dropping Martyn as an england fan id be delighted too see Hodge in that middle order than Martyn who despite his recent poor scores i think will get a big score soon, he doesnt really look out of touch too meMonty said:
