Advent-ures in boggling, redux

[blamebrampton]

Oh dear. England? What on earth was that?

Current theories to explain today's events include:
1. The WACA is currently the Greatest Bowling Wicket In The World.
2. England were up far too late last night following Liz Hurley and Shane Warne's twitter streams.
3. There is a God, and Mitchell Johnson is is cousin.
4. England have taken a look at the last two tests, realised there are still two to go, and noticed that things were about to become Very Boring Indeed so played today as though it were a friendly.
5. Someone is finally thinking of the day five day four ticket holders. Possibly the day three ticket holders at the rate things are going.


PS Spent the afternoon at work Christmas lunch (in pub, 30m from my house, joy!), with the cricket on downstairs. Three of us were Brits and would take the occasional journey down to see how things were going. I admit that at first there was a degree of gloating. As things worsened, rationalisation took the place of gloating (see above). Some time around five, my compatriot M came upstairs, shaking his head. 'I walked into the bar, and looked at the screen,' he told me. 'And I said "Oh, that's not good!" and everyone else looked at me and shook their heads and the barman said "It's bloody good" and I thought, ooh, wrong crowd. Wrong crowd ...'

At least he's handsome. I feel so much less awful when hot people are involved ...

The pretty definitely does help.

It's amazing how absolutely lovely cricketers are. I think the hotness-to-player ratio may actually surpass that of the World Cup.

To be fair, most of the Australian team resemble one form of spud or another ;-)

But England MORE than makes up for them. :)

(I may have developed an enormous crush on Swanny recently. *looks shifty*)

That would be because you have good taste! Yes there are possibly two passable Australians but almost all of the England team is tasty. I have decided I should focus on Cook, because the others are all far too tall!

[femmequixotic]

Cook is lovely! As are Broady and Finn, both of whom are my other two crushes. *G* (I seem to have a thing for the tall ones. I think it's a reaction to my own distinct lack-of-height.) I think Broad/Finn may now be my secret OTP. As Noe says, I am far too predictable. :D

Oh, and Anderson. I must say I love Anderson. His little quirky face has grown on me.
