"Ashes - Edgbaston"

Nothing beats a lazy day spent watching cricket, eh?

Anyway, England seem to be dicking them - to put it lightly. At the moment. When the inevitable collapse comes, the Aussies will bat England off the pitch. I mean, if England can rack up runs like this, the Aussies are sure to do the same. But times two.

Ian Bell really is awful. Every time I've seen him he's been out for only a few runs.

Ian Bell over Collingwood.

-.-

Something's not right there.

Somebody explianed Cricket to me the other day.

I like the guy on the Channel 4 adverts.

" We're the best team in the word, mate. NOT ANY MORE "

Ian Bell over Thorpe was the decision that confused me. I mean, there was all this Pietersen vs Thorpe stuff. Surely it'd be easier to accomodate them both, shove Bell back into the GCSE class from whence he came and avoid Thorpe having a sulk and retiring too early?

I can't say I know a great deal about Bell, but I've seen him get decent totals for his county side. Doesn't always translate to England though.

Bell, at the moment, could easily be replaced by Collingwood or Thorpe and they'd probably get a few runs on the board. Collingwood would probably make an amazing catch or 2 as well.

Freddy and South Africa Boy are hitting the Aussies all over the place. It's actually really interesting cricket.

Don't jinx it.

I'll jinx it some more - there's no good batsmen left. Australia can rely on Gilchrist when the batsmen are gone, but what's Geriant Jones going to do?

Well, we've still got supermen Flintoff and Pietersen in.

And Jones can usually hit a few. As for Gilchrist, he is getting on a bit. Didn't make many runs at Lords.
