I couldn't watch ...

I see my physiotherapist on Fridays -- we've been working for over a month on making my foot stop clicking with every step. Never shatter your foot, kids! She is a lovely young woman and a cricket tragic of the highest order. On Friday, six of her clients are British. She has come to dread Fridays, the poor thing.

Last Friday, she told me that she had an offer of free tickets for the last day of the Sydney test. 'You should go!' I said.

'Nah, I think I'll pass. It may not even happen, or if it does, it'll probably be all that effort to get out there and then an hour and it's all over.'

How prescient she was. After our lads did such sterling work, I was hoping that Australia would rise to the occasion. Admittedly, 644 runs is a big target, but they had a few up their sleeve from their first innings. Nope. 213 runs and 7 wickets down.

The very worst part of it all is that I won't get to see Cook bat again.

I hope your foot gets better soon, darling. I hear having adoring public crawl at your feet is a wonderful restorative procedure, so the matter should improve in no time.

Oh, you poor thing!

That was totally my problem - they HAVE to set us sixty runs, so he can reach 800!

With the way the Aussies have been batting from what I hear, the game will be over before lunch! LOL ;D

For a little while this morning, the tail looked like it might wag.

Not so much now.

Ahhh. I know. He could have gone on forever :) And very nearly did - we did get 36 hours out of the gorgeous man!
