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.

Tuts at tantrum. No one English would ever do that.

Apart from Gatting that one time. And....


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.

Hahahaha, Mr Brammers FTW!!!

Yeah, I don'† even barrack for Australia, and this is still embarrassing.

So much for the commentators' fond hopes that this was just a *really good* bowling wicket...

I'm woefully sports illiterate (in any country), so can't comment, but I like that Mr. Brammers encouraged the writing of fanfic.

The tantrum was dreadful - what was he thinking?

The match is absolutely amazing! And I can't wait for Cook to score 500 in Sydney...

Trott was magnificent, wasn't he? Esp. after that little incident with his knee.

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!

Trott was amazing. And I can't believe Ponting made such an ass of himself. Well, I suppose I can. But still. I shouldn't have to! *head in hands*

Here's hoping the rest of the innings goes as well tonight. \0/

It was a good day. *g* My happiness is starting to feel almost confident.

Sympathy? Ponting? You are more generous of spirit than I.
