#ForevertaintedI see your point, but it can be useful at times I reckon, either if you're solo or can't get info.
I went to a day 3 days of the Lord's test this year and one one of the days I went solo. Wasn't sitting near anyone particularly interesting (had some convos about the game) and was thinking I should have brought a radio/bought that thing with Sky commentary. Would have kept me occupied between overs and stuff.
For the footy, sometimes you have no idea if someone is injured or something. I remember I was lucky enough to be at the 2005 GF when your beloved Swans won the flag () and had no idea Kerr was injured and didn't play the end of the game.

Funny how the batsmen go off when batting seems at its easiest

They haven't had a say in the matter for 2 years or something!

It's not their decision anymore. Umpire says it's dark, they go off.

There was still a lot in it if you get it in the right areas.

It was something like 20cm seam movement and 7 degrees (or whatever they measure it with) of turn!

From lunch onwards tomorrow it'll be a completely different pitch to what we saw this morning.

Just been down at the pub to have a watch in the second sesh.
-our dismassals were awful. Cut shots straight to bloody point and edging onto the stumps with cover drives on a helpful pitch. Bloody hell, that's unacceptable.
-footnote: Athlai just told me the first session was insane. Survived the good bowling to get out to the pies. Sounds like NZ.
-Brownlie looks steady on the backfoot. I don't understand why they tried to bounce him. Needs to get forward more on the front foot though. He's going to get trapped in front if he isn't careful.
-Starc looks good, and bowled good areas. Ruined it with a few loose balls which is a shame for him.
-Lyon looks like a good bowler.
