It sure is B. I'm not getting up at 4 bells though, fuck that. I'll get up at 0640hrs for the resumption after lunch, at least then, i can have a relatively normal day😂😂.
I'm usually a very light sleeper though who wakes up multiple times a night, if I check my phone and it's roundabout 4 o clock, I'll probably just get up🥳.
I’ll miss at least the first 2 hours as I’m at work 😭
Woke up, got up. 30/2🙄.
They were 5/2 at one point😮.
Just got home now!
3 for 166. You’re doing better than last game.
I see Root finally got some runs here!
Glad for him… kinda
We lost an early wicket just after lunch, but for that, we'd have been having a really good day, I'd still say we're marginally ahead but there's a tricky period coming up now where the lights take effect!
Should be a good night’s cricket. Fingers crossed lots of wickets 🤭🏏
Did you know that Cummings has gone off with a broken leg🤔?
What?
😂😂😂.
I'm just chatting shit.
Don’t laugh too much.
I’ll take to writing the score again!
WICKET
I love the delay. I get to giggle at a wicket while you shit post me 🤭
Even game again now. I wish Starc would fuck off🙄.
Recap predictions:
Me: Draw
You: England win
Yes. That is 💯 correct.
I mean, my prediction. Not yours😜.
You've had that ball checked about six times now. Stop cheating, who do you think you are, nostr:npub162zpxufpw8pnuytaf0gfxzkqtvk9rvcwkvppa7x57y3n7qkfpg4shatdhy🤔??
Missed the last 20 minutes 🙄
Maybe we’re just assuring the umpire no sandpaper is in use.
Aaah, that makes sense now🙏🏻.
Stokes you dick!!
Wasn’t going to say anything…
Well I did, he's a dick🙄😂.
Run out 🫣🤭
He ran himself out!!
Went to the kitchen and missed Smith!
You need to be watching it ALL. You did this last time. Sit. The. Fuck. Down😬😜.
Day 2, to The Aussies☹️.
Day 3
💪🏏
Just woke up. We clearly have some catching up to do here😳😳😳.
Been an interesting morning here! Even Starc got runs!
It's bloody tea now, if I'd have worked that out in my head, I could have had another 20 mins in bed before getting up🙄😂.
Time to make coffee and have brekkie?!
I don't eat for a few hours after getting up. Coffee is always the first order of the day, though😬.
Time to play with the cat and watch the commentary?
The cat(s) will not be played with. They are my sisters, I am merely a temporary, unwilling custodian. I am a dog person, not a cat person. She'll be collecting them when we comes down for Christmas. She's moved to Scotland so couldn't take them immediately. 3 effing month's I've had them😡.
Interesting wicket! Unlucky!
Kept low that one🙄.
Pope was nearly caught 1st ball there too😳.
Broke his bat 😳
He is not looking comfy…
Are you going to the one at your gaff🤔??
Gaff?
Home/Place😂😂.
Adelaide oval?
Yes 🤩
Ooooh, brill. Can't wait to see the pics🥳.
It’s a beautiful ground. Bit sad the picket fence isn’t visible anymore but still pretty.
They have done a great job upgrading everything.
Who's on your local commentary? We have Sir Alastair Cook and Justin Langer atm.
We have Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden atm
Ponting used to commentate over here during The Ashes, on SKY, but it's moved onto a different channel now.
In other news, we're less than 100 runs behind now so I can only see an England victory from here🥳.
Pope… gone!
Ouch!
Yes, I've noticed.
Puts a whole different slant on the game now😬.
Anymore wickets go down before the close of play and it's 2 - 0.
Oof…
Yep. I'm off the gym🙋🏻♂️.
I hope the rest of your Saturday is truly awful🫂.
Rude!!!!
🤭🫂
Starc is a freak! Relieved he’s an Aussie.
Just got back from the gym. Game over☹️.
Not yet.
Day 4 still in on the morrow.
You'll have the runs chased down, before tea🤷🏻♂️.
We still need to get you all out first!
You could always beg the Gods for rain 🤭
The last time we won there, you probably wasn't even born. I was 9😬😂.
I’m Gen X so…
So am I. Maybe you just sneaked in then🥳.
Let’s go with that 👀😬
I don't know why but I picture you as an early 30 something. I bet that's put a spring in your step😬🥳.
We're not gonna win this test match but if we can bat the day out (Big ask), there's a possibility of a draw🧐. Which I'd take, at the moment!
I’m not happy at the state of affairs at the moment. I want a wicket! Otherwise I’m going to go and do my dishes
No. No no. Don't be leaving your viewing area!!
Getting over this run scoring!
Pretty slow, but they both just need to keep at the crease!
We were really in the shit at the start of play. This has been a good recovery up to now!
Hmmm… going to do dishes. Too much recovery happening!
Nooooooo😂😂.
Walk back in and dropped catch.
Damn it.
Been awake for roughly 24hrs now. Just got my duvet from upstairs. Chilling on the couch with devil cat. I'll stay awake as long as I can🥳.
24 hours!!! 👀
How are you functioning?
Guessing you’ll be asleep in twenty now you’re cosy. If kitty starts purring you’ll be sleepy sooner 🤭🐈⬛
Happy bday btw 🥳🫂
Enjoy the remaining cricket that you get to see 🏏
Ha ha, thanks B🫂.
I've been known to stay up for 48+Hrs, it's not a problem🥳. Will try to stay up till 1130hrs (Close of play) then just ruminate for the rest of the day.
Stokes just got one in the plums😳😂.
Even I winced! And I don’t have plums! 🫣
One in the ovums😬.
I’m not sure it would be equivalent.
Having said that… if I was hit by any ball bowled by any cricketer, I would be on the ground in the foetal position crying for my mum 🫣😂
🤫
Wicket!
Great catch that. Bastard🙄.
We were really in the shit at the close of play last night, we still are, even more so now, but still in with a slim chance of a draw. New ball due soon and also under the lights. If we can get another 100, it keeps the game alive.
Awesome catch 🤩
No reviews left🖕🏻😜.
There was an lbw review last night that you claimed. Pitching outside was an understatement. It was pitching in a different time zone😬😂.
Yeah. Not sure why they reviewed. Maybe just to unsettle the batsman. From memory it worked as they were out soon after.
This has been a captains innings by Stokes so far. We need to keep him on strike. If he gets out, we're fucked🤷🏻♂️.
Oof….
GN B🙋🏻♂️😂.
