We have played so well that the guys have really made my job fairly easy.

Goodnight everyone, sleep well.
Those were the days!

Boadicea's Chariot 
How are we doing Zen? I’m watching the snooker and can’t have my eyes everywhere 🙂
Night night, sleep well.
We won at a canter, now for the third match next week!
My cousin is flying out to watch it next week, he’s always wanted to do that. He’s going with a group of cricket fans.
Lucky so and so!
zen, good evening.
I googled for your quote to see when he said it, but could not find a date.
Doesn’t matter. In the process, I found another one from the boy Punting which really appeals to me:-
‘It’s a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It’s been passed down through the generations. It’s the culture of the Australian team.’
I wonder if they can still remember all the words as it must be a wee while since they last sang it, whatever it is.
Great line on Five Live tonight on the possibility of Warne coming out of retirement to save the day – ‘Do you think they’re digging up Bradman as well?’
Without prejudice. As a mere Jock camp follower of the English cricket team I still worry that ‘we’ could still be doomed and that the Aussies might still win.
Warney is pushing for another spinner – Woods or something?
No, Beer is the man’s name. Soz.
Janus, good evening.
Interesting. Googled and found this.

Have just voted in their online poll for Shane to be brought back. The thought of him sweltering in the Perth sun for a day or two while Cookie and the boys rack up 500 or 600 on a pitch that will apparently be slower than the usual WACA one is a joy.
I’m beginning to be concerned that I may have English blood after all as I seem to be descending into premature triumphalism. It’s a worry!
Warne has admitted to being ‘flattered.’ However, in 1956 we recalled Washbrook 98, Shepherd 100 plus, and Compton 94, in winning the series 2 – 1, so don’t rule anything out.
Ponting is an arrogant b****! I watched him being interviewed. He really believes that he is God’s Gift to Cricket Australia…
Personally, I think one of the reasons for the poor performance is that anyone with any passion has not been selected. They all have to be ‘squeaky clean’ before they even get on the list. Whereas former cricketers advertised beer and the like – Ponting advertises Vitamin Pills. Says it all 🙂
