    Starts at 11.30pm tonight.
    Anyone else going to watch the pathetic losers try and avoid another hammering?!

    Robinson out and Broad back for Eng.
    Hazelwood still not fit so Boland retains his place for the Aussies!

    Ashley Giles out there for the last two tests and will be leading a review into this shambles of a tour. Tell thi what, he shouldn't be leading the review but should be one of the first to go but we all know he will sack Silverwood to save himself!

    Quite glad I'm back at work tomorrow and have to go to bed at a respectable time.

    Wet rope

    Rolled up newspaper

    Rolling pin

    Fly swatter

    Just thinking of what would be more useful to some of our top order other than a cricket bat.

    I am at home all day and have nothing better to do but whether I turn the telly on to watch a non-contest I haven't decided yet. If it was at least a little competitive it would be watchable.

    Sydney quite relaxed with covid which is surprising. You don't need to show a negative test to get in like you would have to over here under our current rules.

    Most of the Big Bash has now been moved to Melbourne for covid reasons. Perth Scotchers beat Sydney Sixers today which was arranged at short notice when it was due to be played later this week. This was to give Brisbane Heat who should have played today one extra day to try and get a team together after lots of cases in their squad.

    It wouldn't surprise me if during the test match we hear of more covid cases and it puts the match at risk, as covid in Australia has got worse since the Melbourne test.

    What’s the point? We’ve lost the series, embarrassingly.

    It’s akin to watching England hammer San Marino

    I wonder if Giles’ review will cover the decision to have one person given total responsibility for both coaching and selection. He might want to have words with whatever idiot made that decision…

    In other Cricket news who else has watched the brand new three part documentary series Sky have gone about Allen Stanford? Some story even now. The England players hated him. Then again I am not surprised as the pregnant wife of Matt Prior on his knee, with the then girlfriend now wife of Cook next to him is infamous footage.
