Ashes Blog 2010/11, 3rd Test, Day 1, Morning

Good Morning,

It is a rather sombre mood in the lounge of 76 at the moment as I'm on my own.

After wandering down the stairs at approximately 2.15 AM it came as no surprise that REA was asleep in bed with RON (and by RON I mean the middle-aged male lorry driver that REA has recently been sharing his life with). To be frank, I'd be surprised if he manages to do any blogging during play in the course of this test match.

In terms of cricket, the toss was won by England who chose to bowl on a moist green pitch. Yes that's right, a moist green pitch. The sort of wicket you would expect to find in North Wales not Perth but alas, it should be something that England's fine seam attack should be able to take advantage of.

The national anthems have come to be somewhat of a highlight of this test series but something that you may not have noticed is that Pieterson and Trott actually have the lyrics to our national anthem on a sheet of paper stuck to the mascot in front them. Clever! Once again an Aboriginal tribe leader welcomes all to their homeland in a surreal yet entertaining speech.

It should be noted now that I wouldn't expect too many blogs this evening as I am on my own and hoping to continue composing a review of the year's news for CasinoOnline.co.uk. Sorry if you're tuned in hoping to find witty remarks being sent your way all evening, it won't be happening.

Unfortunately for England, Beer has not been selected for Australia. With Australia's current selection policy, I feel fairly confident that the infamous JW coil may even get a look in if he can land it on the pitch.

Anyway, the first over has been bowled by James Anderson to Shane Watson while the midget formerly known as Philip Hughes watches on as a wicket is given not out after having been reviewed. Excellent grab by Prior though.

Enjoy...
