Yesterday was the sort of day I would have ended up watching if I'd actually got tickets and been there.
Whenever I went to watch the Ashes in 2005 (Lord's and the Oval), I seemed to end up spending the day watching the Aussies bat (and bat, and bat...).
Again, Australia showed that they can bat (and bat, and bat...) but that's not news I suppose. The only thing that failed to happen was the England bowlers failing to get the ball to do anything. Thought Anderson and Broad were meant to rip through the top order and the spin twins fizzing it to get bamboozle the tail. Didn't quite work out like that, so England have a lot to do, or rain to start preying for. Could be a long summer.
Anyway, England have the second new ball, so will see if that makes any difference.
No beers yesterday, but as it's Friday, it counts as the weekend, and it's coming up to lunchtime...
