Ashes: Day 2 - Luncheon

Pizza Light was thoroughly enjoyed by those in the cheap seat (namely AK and MIH). It was also these two critters who got overly excited and commenced celebrations before realising that they were in-fact watching a replay of an earlier wicket that was over-turned following a review. Mugs...

TL joins the forum just in time to see the fall of the first wicket, our lucky charm? Only time will tell...

Minutes later, they were celebrating for real as Watson snicked and was caught by Andrew 'Man's man' Strauss.

An interesting little statoid for you all, REA has actually been absent for the first wickets of both days play due to being on the phone to his lady-friend. He is actually yet to see a wicket fall live.

As Punter prepares to face his first ball, the anticipation gets the better of MIH who, just as Jimmy's in his delivery stride, screams: "KILL HIM". General opinion among the gallery was that these sentiments were a little strong. Remember kids, it's only a game!

Michael Holding continues to emphasise the importance of length during commentary, it's beggining to seem like he's bragging now.

RA returns to the hypothetical crease and looks perplexed as he attempts some mental arithmatic. He also continues to recite lyrics from Elton John's 'Your Song'. Lord only knows why, maybe he's going soft in his old age?

MOD eagerly prepares his puns for when Swann-dog gets a bowl. Here's to hoping that he won't be the ugly duckling today!

And he's on, swanning his way up to the wicket (sorry, that was a bit too easy).

Atherton mentions the 'Schoolboy Textbook of Test Captaincy' and one has to wonder, what do they teach in schools these days.

Finally, we would like to thank you all for your support. Continue to spread the word, and herpes!

And that's lunch, it's been a pleasure folks...
