TK is lucky that his Hungarian missus understands the importance of the cricket so he’s able to become nocturnal for six weeks. 

I'm all clear.  She's going back to Hungary for a couple of weeks. I'll be seeing her in January when we're 3-0 down and demanding my consolation blowjob.

It’ll be hard to avoid the score updates every day until 5pm every day if that’s when the highlights are. It’ll be virtually impossible to avoid them once the tests have finished. 

I don't feel the need to do that with cricket. Which is weird, because I do with every other sport.

What’s the weather like is it going to start on time?

Looks like it will start on time but possible rain later.

Cheers.

[Captain Howdy]

Not looking forward to this

[Preston Red]

First ball at midnight?

 

I'm up for work at 5:15 so I'm hoping to watch a bit before I leave for work at 6am.

 

No doubt, England will win the toss and elect to bat.

 

Australia should be 250/2 then when I switch the telly on at 5:35am.

Will there be fans at this? 

 

Obviously the hours aren't favourable for watching it live, but I'll make it my business to watch the evening highlights. 

 

It's about the only sport where I unashamedly want England to win

Yeah, full stadiums everywhere.

The BT Sport studio is awful, the superimposing looks like something from Knightmare.

Everything about the coverage is awful. Harmison, jesus christ.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I would have put them in. 

[Pureblood]

Good start.

[Rico1304]

Fuck 

[Pureblood]

Bowled round your legs first ball of the Ashes. A Cunt duck. 

[s(k)aturation]

 

Left Anderson and Broad out, banking on substantial weather interruptions and a draw I reckon.

[s(k)aturation]

 

... batsmen might be the problem though.

[Pureblood]

Apple crumble.

I genuinely think the Nasser call from 20 years ago has spooked every England team since. 

[A_S]

Oh boy!

[sir roger]

Glad I haven't got BT now

[Pureblood]

It's like going back in time to the 1990s.  Complete turd with fuckin' no chance.  

[Jose Jones]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

England were always going to lose this one with the complete lack of build up.  But serious embarrassment is on offer here.

[Pureblood]

I'm going outside for five minutes to miss two wickets.
