Adelaide, Day 3

A Double for the Gingers

The big guy is off celebrating the accidents of birth, geography and self-interest that somehow allow him to claim a part in the efforts from up south. Mr Collingwood looks very much like a friend of mine, Dick. Dick once drank ten pints during a day of cricket... watching. That is a double deca half-pint. Congratulations to the gingers on their success. Tessa being a Blenheim says: Wo.."

I woke to hear talk about the man who has a tattoo of the thee lions logo (tm) of his current sponsor and a score of 158. He has finally beaten that, he is an amazing batsman for hire, I thought. No, he still has a monkey on his back but it is a monkey the rest of us can only dream of.

Nineteen further Australian wickets needed - Can Fred count that high? He may be forced to (or maybe not).
