    If so which way are you doing it?

    Staying up even though it starts at about 2.30 or trying to get to sleep and getting up for the start?

    I'm up for 4.30am, at work for 5.45am.
    I wish I was 21 again. In fact, no I don't. I had my own place and worked then as well.

    I never watch it, try to avoid everything about the pass time, to be honest i can't understand how anyone can stay awake watching it when its on through the day, so to watch through the night you must be on all kinds of drugs, which would explain a lot of things about the mentality of the kind of people that watch it in the first place

    Do we have that many strikers? And no goalie?

    I don't think I'd even stay up while 2:30am to watch the reds, never mind a cricket match.

    This!

    I'll be missing pretty much all next year's World Cup due to the kick off times. Given I won't stop up for a sport I love, I'm damned if ill do it for one I have no interest in (each to their own though - my mate has booked time off work to watch all of the first three tests).

    To be honest, I'd forgotten because Perth is closer to us, it's a later start. Doh!

    Doesn't seem fair somehow, should start 2 and half hours earlier than Bisbane/Adelaide our time.

    I know it doesn't work like that but it would be better. Bloody Australians / time-zones.

    Not staying up, will get up early and watch some.

    i won't be staying up to watch world cup either. we'll be fcukin bobbins in that an all. BFC is a very unfortunate affliction, so i'm compelled to watch them be $hit. but i don't have to endure it for anything else...

    Gunna try and catch a couple of hours kip and get up at 2.30, see how long I can last. Perth is the worst venue for watching, couldn't be worse timings really.

    It's not bad if you are a natural early riser (fnarghh fnarghh). Second session starts at 5.10am which is plenty of kip if you've gone to bed about 10pm.

    Which I haven't, but I am now, hopefully see half the day's play getting up about 6.15am, then straight to the coal face.

    Yeah there is that, being a lazy student though I tend to go to sleep more like 1am at the minute. Makes it hard to get up early and you can't get to sleep much earlier.

    Looking pretty good so far. Aussies are going along nicely and playing their shots so I think we will get chances......need to hold onto them though!!!

    I'm watching it. What kind of things does it say about my mentality? What a ridiculous and insulting thing to say.
