2006 ASHES: LEICESTER (OR IS IT LONDON) MAN CONCERNED AT OWN INDECISION
"I just can't make my mind up" remarked Big Al, "Should I stay up late or get up early?"...
Many cricket enthusiasts around the country are facing a similar quandry this week and the warning signs show it may become a pandemic as the series progresses.
Buoyed with fervour from the 2005 series men (and women) now face the objective decision of whether the cricket is more important than sleep. New recruits to the national game will surely decide the answer is 'no' and rely on the BBC's highlights (via the red button?) but the hardcore fans are busily equating the sleep to "how knackered will I look" ratio, with no thought as to efficiency or whether their boss will notice the post-lunch snooze.
Many have decided to play it by ear, focusing initially on the listening to the first session at The Gabba then assessing from there. From then on it's a lottery dependant on success and batting conditions. The cricket enthusiast with an understanding of crucial points in a test match will have the upper hand in deciding worthwhile time slots - targetting new ball spells with fervour... but should Fletch be bold and go with the Montster then decisions may be thrown into doubt and sleep will definitely be sacrificed...
"At The Gabba let's just hope Freddie wins the toss and we get the chance to bat first... I just hope I don't hear 2 hours of a batting collapse!"
One thing is for certain, jobs may be lost, sleep will be lost - lets hope the Ashes aren't.
