I think you've got to have a special love for test cricket in order to not get bored out of your brain with some games. Or at least there has to be nothing else on the other channels!

There's always a test pattern

or static

Hey Bear, what century are you living in?    Test pattern?

I used to love the cricket, and actually used to go to the MCG waaaay back in the '80's

Couldn't give a rat's these days.

[enigmabear]

Yep, on the old Rank Arena telly

Until the knob fell off

Oh dear me

The Ashes: If I'd caught you Lyon, we wouldn't feel this Paine

It would seem the Tasmanian selectors are better at picking "Keepers" than the Australian selectors.

if a guy isnt first pick in his state side there is no way he should be first pick in the Australian side!

The selectors should say sorry with their first blunder of the ashes, will Marsh make it 2 for 2?

as for the Gabba pitch, how is it they managed to put up a pitch perfectly suited to Englands attack?

blunder number 3?
