It pisses down in Sydney so that match drawn. Did an SCG tour a couple of years ago and the guide was quite proud to say that more cricket days have been lost at the SCG than Old Trafford. I got quite emotional.😊 Having spent a lot of time there and will hopefully continue to do so, I can confirm it’s true. It’s warm rain though.😉

Fucking defeatists everywhere. You really think Australia were that impressive? No chance of Root rediscovering his mojo? I'll KTF.

Today, the Aussies seemed to get movement off the pitch but were also very disciplined. Our bowlers were the opposite. Our batters were poor apart from Atkinson and Carse. Both Pope and Duckett could have gone before the break by playing and missing outside off stump. As Michael Vaughan said, be positive but with intelligence. All imo of course. There are a thousand opinions out there about this amazing Test. 😊 Fair enough. Must have been really bad batting for 19 wickets to topple in a day. Anyway, Vaughan is right, but it's not new. Results have been much better in recent years, but playing the situation is also a component of successful.
November 23, 2025Nov 23 I had one poor fucker arrive from Manc yesterday. He could only get tickets for days 4 & 5 To make him feel better, I have promised him a cruise up the West Coast Highway in the V8 today with some lunch at a beachside gastro pub. The fucking weather has turned! Glorious recently - pissing down this morning but showing signs of at least turning dry by noon. Hope so or the beast is staying covered in her garage spot and I'll be taking him in the Triton. You can't frighten a Triton 😉
November 24, 2025Nov 24 Not sure not playing any of the test team in the pink ball warm up game is ideal preparation for the pink ball test.
November 26, 2025Nov 26 listening to stick to cricket yesterday Aus have won 11/12 pink ball tests also, summut along the lines of, half of crawleys england innings have resulted in single figure runs? I think i'll chalk us down for 2-0 after this next test
November 29, 2025Nov 29 Pink ball match today in Canberra. I think it was set up as a preparation for the one in Brisbane. It isn’t. It could give fringe players a chance to shine. Konstas for Oz and Bethall for England. Aus. 308/8 dec Eng. 30/0
