start the car...

terrible shot (or lack of it) by haddin. Very village.

Whilst waiting for the last couple of wickets, a serious question:

Where does the "speed gun" take the mph of the ball (or the "rev counter") ?
As it leaves the hand, where it bounces or when it gets to the batsman ?

i think its whilst in mid flight before it bounces as I know it can slow right down to 50-60mph after bouncing with some "fast" bowlers.

Not bad knowing we have another decent spinner in Root so don't have to rely on Swann...

ECB (and Wales) will have mixed feelings.

Few re-funds going out!

Good for the team though.

Cameras have been installed in the Aussie dressing room. So they are now in the Long Room and the Long Face Room.

“#Ashes #ReturnTheUrn” slightly optimistic with that hashtag chaps. If you fancy a competitive game we are only an hours flight from London

Do those fellas stand there in the Long Room all day?

Doesn't seem like much of a view through the sash windows.

And, how does the seating get arranged outside: First come first served ?

They fall asleep on their feet & wake up at the breaks or when a wicket falls. Some are actually deceased and are propped up.

What do you call an Aussie who knows how to handle a bat?
