That goes double for you Aussies!
Commentator: Of course, in scoring a hundred, Trott scored more than the entire Australian team did in their innings.
Me: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Mr Brammers: I thought you had fanfic to finish.
Me: You're encouraging me to write fanfic?
Mr Brammers: It's better than the gloating.
In other news, my sympathy for Ponting has evaporated with his tanty at the umpire. The wrong umpire at that. And the funniest moment of the day was the stump microphone just before lunch, capturing someone muttering, 'Fuck that, you fuckers ...' Opinion in this house is divided on whether it was Brad Haddin, the Australian wicketkeeper, expressing his frustration, or Kevin Pietersen expressing his determination.

My money is on kp. Because the Aussies aren't showing enough fight for it to be the wicket keeper.
And I'm sure your gloating is just lovely.

And I feel for Mr B, though he has to be less funny if I'm to have true pity :)
The Ponting incident was inexcusable. I know the pressure is outrageous but that's exactly when one shouldn't fall apart as captain.
I missed the stump microphone!!! I wonder if it's up somewhere - what do you reckon, Haddin? Although I think KP could as likely be as, er, expressive!
