On the plus side, at least you weren’t following this Test match.

Vomit, madness and sweaty palms.

You buy a ticket for the night bus, you know what you’re getting.

My fellow bus companions on the N22 night bus in Edinburgh were somewhat nonplussed by my shouts of ‘yes’ when seeing some early wickets.

However in England’s favour is that Australia haven’t won a match since about 1902 so you can bet they’ll tighten up from here on in. Shit bowling and poor catching should be of some help in England saving, possibly even winning the match.

Cookie is certainly going to need some fortune to get out of this one.

He might have to come up with a fortune Belly and a fortune Trotty too.

On second thoughts, they both sound like euphemisms for the wild shits.

Come on guys, you can do it.
