Adelaide, Day 1

Crackly CMJ Nightmares

Day 1 continued... Well I've had my nap. Actually it was more of a full sleep, but I did listen to the extremely pleasant events of last night.

Well extremely pleasant cricket-wise, but not in my dreams which were punctuated by the awful nightmare of not only a): having CMJ for a Dad, but b): that his speech was hampered by interference. It was horrible.

One thing that isn't horrible is the mighty P D COLLINGWOOD - saviour of the Ashes!
I can't fault The Ginger Stalwart (well despite that follic reference!). He's stoic, a grinder and a great fielder... reminds me of me. Ahem. In the words of another orange magician it'll be greeeeaaaat! when/if he gets his ton tonight. I'll be well chuffed for him.

If we can bat until tea tomorrow and put 450-470 on the board and give them a tricky 20 overs session to face a towards the end of the day it'll be a glorious start to the match... and if Clockwork McGrath's heel gets worse over night then that'll be even better!

The one downside is I reckon we'll miss The Montster as we may struggle to get 20 wickets on this pitch, especially if Harmy is aiming at Freddie. Perhaps we need to move Fred to 2nd Leg Slip and confuse him into bowling straight!

Let's see what happens. Great start though. Well done Colly, KP and Belly!
