Ashes Blog, Second Test, Day 1, Morning Session

Delirium has engulfed 76 High Dells

Possibly the best start to an Ashes innings from England ever?

Australia have won the toss and chosen to bat, REA has originally stated 'chins England' but on reflection chins Australia.....

11.37pm 1st playing of Ellie Goulding during adverts, stay tuned for a Your Song tally
11.40pm MOD continues to make up words to songs, would this blatent disregard for song words get past the X-Factor judges?

11:43pm PP pops the pringles, but can he (canny) stop?
11:46pm RLR is a losing tosser
              Whilst the players make their way to the middle it is observed that a) Straussy = Hunk and b) Prior needs more suntan lotion on his head

During the National Anthems PP remarks "I'm quite impressed the convicts have made their own song"
RLR also wants one of the Cricketers to give the kids one.... very strange
Mrs P thinks Yoda is part of the opening ceremony, she's also not singing the National Anthem!!

REA now thinks Prior has more hair on his chin than on his head, and Strauss is still a hunk!
PP is heard to say "Vetto wants Strauss' children"

For this test REA has employed a secretary, all for the princely sum of a cup of tea, all she needs to do now though is make the tea.

Following on from a previous conversation, clarification is needed as to the most popular Surname in Britain, according to 'sofeminine.co.uk' it's Smith with 730k. It's also determined that sofeminine.co.uk are racist.

Midnight has rolled around and RLR is drunk!  And there's a wicket, completely out of the blue, Watson turns one on to the Legside and a sharp bit of fielding from Mr Trott compounds some Australian indecision as Katich is run out at the strikers end without facing a ball, I believe that is the definition of Chin-up big lad.

12:05 and with barely a few minutes to celebrate Australia are 2 down! Its Punter, the skipper, gone first ball!  Lovely bit of bowling from Anderson draws the batsman forward and Punter obliges by snicking to Swann at 2nd slip.  From the LRC PB says 'Ponting chins big lad', PB also informs us he's on his way.

The start to this innings has reinforced the need to be back in time for the first ball of the innings.

12:15 another wicket! England are loving it!  Clarke, the out of form cripple, looks a shadow of the man who toyed with the England bowlers during 2009 as he goes hard at length delivery and snicks to Swanny at 2nd. 

TL points out that Jimmy Anderson is getting the luck he missed out on in the 2nd innings of the 1st test.

I'm sure there'll be more to come later on, but for now, I leave you to enjoy the live coverage.
