It's quarter to three in the morning ...

And I cannot go to bed as the last wicket is still to fall.

I know that Americans, Canadians and many Europeans are unable to fathom why we care so much about the Ashes. It's akin to a war, mixed with the Olympics, mixed with the bedrock or national pride.

I will say that the Australian team can hold their heads high at the way they have doggedly fought through this innings. Now if they could just lose so I can go to sleep!

ETA: THEY DID IT! THEY DID IT! WHO NEEDS SLEEP? Bless you Flintoff, you are a gem.

Well. Can't say i join you in the celebrations. I'm FURIOUS with Ricky Ponting for being run out. I'm FURIOUS with Freddie Flintoff for recreating the crucifiction every time he did what he was there to do, and I'm FURIOUS with the wicket for being drier than the Simpson Desert. Now, if you'll excuse me, I too have some daydreams to create concerning Stuart not-so Broad but ever-so -tall.
