England 129-1 at lunch
First day of the test. A good start for England - the series is currently drawn 1-1 (plus a draw last match).

Strauss was caught Hayden (b. Warne) for 35.

Trescothick is 62, and Vaughan 14.

:bounce: :bounce:

1. Go Poms - the Australian cricket team are a mob of wankers
PS - I hate cricket, but I'll cheer for anyone to beat the arrogant Aussies.

Does that make me traitorous ???

2. Why do you hate Australia?
I don't think that it does cricket any good to have such a dominant team - but on the otherhand, they are dominant because they're good.

It is, at least, turning into a good contest this year.

Oh and yes - hating cricket does make you traitorous - traitorous to civilisation. :D

3. It's the team itself - they are laws unto themselves
and are coddled and protected - the arrogance is breathtaking. What this lot need is to lose the Ashes and come home with their tails between their legs.

And as for cricket - I don't begrudge anyone their appreciation of it - I just find it as boring as bat-poo.
