    That's just a three year old pair of his underpants, caught forever in one of the folds of his taint

    Midnight tonight. But then midnight tonight is tomorrow isn't it? It's very confusing. To get it right the best thing is to look at it like this: The toss is at 11.30pm or 2330hrs TONIGHT and play starts 30 mins after or at midnight tonight or 000hrs tomorrow maybe? I'm just glad I found out on Monday that it started on Wednesday and not Thursday, although it is really Thursday and not Wednesday.

    Any US based Addicks used Willow TV and can recommend it? Think that's the only way I'm gonna be able to watch it here without digging out a dodgy stream.

    I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT.

    Influx of Aussie players into our club recently and our cricket whatsapp group is going mad.

    Don't think I've ever looked forward to a series so much.

    We'll likely be spanked but you never know, I just can't wait.

    Bring it on!

    @Addick Addict

    If you were offered 4/1 on there not to be a draw would you take it?

    Whoops, I meant no draw in any test, not the series!

    Because he's supposed to go to Australia not Brazil.

    The price is fair enough but I probably wouldn't because I think at least one Test will run its course. Which is why I've backed a drawn series.

    In addition to a drawn series I have backed the following:

    Joe Root - top England bat. At 7/4 any real value has flown out the door but I just think that the situation is tailor made for him. And if we are going to get a result out there then he will need to be a major contributor.

    Chris Woakes - top England bowler. Seems to have found his form again and is our quickest bowler (3/1)

    Usman Khawaja - top Australia bat. Has a touch of class about him but has struggled to show that overseas. Averages 64 at home though and with Smith and Warner taking up much of the market, the 5/1 available is too good to resist.

    Nathan Lyon - top Australia bowler. All the focus is on the Aussie quickies but Lyon will be the one fixture in their bowling attack. Was a revelation in India and Bangladesh this year but is also very good on home pitches so have availed myself of 11/2.

    Anyone know what the price is to top up Sky with BT

    Can I do it for 3 months?

    cheers

    I think Stoneman will do well out there.
    Used to playing on a fairly fast track at the Oval and think these conditions will suit him.
