It does segway nicely with the Aus Tests which kick off at midnight, filling the lunch interval. Pak started well but...
Aus last lost at in the Gabba in 1988! That looks nice too but too hot for me, and anyone else it seems...

Unfortunately as we have floods, they have forest fires, (something s up with the climate maybe?) plus Mrs K doesn't like spiders....
Could certainly do France, love my wine and cheese, it's where the high profile Brexiters emigrate to , not much cricket though....
( Think I've managed to cover cricket , climate change and Brexit there, well done me !  )

Re: English Cricket
England are once again attempting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Awful shot from Pope, Curran not much better.

We're in a less decent position this morning.! This why Test cricket is great, things change from day to day. Broad is starting to look past it, Curran looked the only bowler causing problems. Archer didn't even get the second new ball. Root is a poor captain I'm afraid.
Off to get some sleep now need to recuperate to get up in time for a footy match. Life's tough

Yes l woke up this morning and it was pretty disappointing that they were still batting and they had a first innings lead.
l don't disagree with many of your sentiments as well.

No and now impossible to win the series now as it's a ludicrous 2 matches.Bad forecast for Hamilton apparently so a draw and we'll loses the series. Serves us right for giving no other team, apart from Australia, enough respect to play a proper series. Should have scrapped the 20/20 circus and had at least 3 Test Matches.

l agree a 3 match test series should be a minimum set criteria for test series.
