So Pietersen goes for 158 with the score on 308/8. That very useful partnership between Giles and Pietersen means that England are only 17 runs behind their first innings pace despite being way behind for most of this innings.

See Gillo is useful for something, even if it's not spin bowling or refuse collection.

True enough. Shame about the bowling though.

GRRR
The bowling hasn't been bad, he's just not Shane Warne
No one's Shane Warne.

He's a nice bloke.

Someone appears to have hanged an inflatable kangaroo.

Drinks.

On this performance it should be all over for CMJ

I'd been thinking one good thing about this match was that I finally got to listen to TMS without Blowers. The other Tests he missed this year were the ones I was at, viz Chester-le-Street and Manchester. Have a problem with the North, do we?

He probably doesn't know the numbers of the buses.

Oh lord, the trouble we had trying to get him to grasp the concept of "trams" after the Metrolink replaced the railway...

He would have a rough time here where we have Via Rail trains, GO trains, subway, light rail transit, streetcars/trams (which share the road in some places and have designated tracks in others) and buses.

I am so glad someone else thinks so too! I couldn;t believe how bad he was today. Just horrible to listen to. Also, I was wondering where Blowers was: where was Blowers?

where was Blowers?

I gather he was doing the corporate hospitality box circuit. I should think that by mid afternoon he must have been fairly amphibian.

really? Shame on TMS for letting him off duty just for that. Esp if that meant his "replacement" would be CMJ. CMJ is useless useless useless and should have stuck to writing results summaries for newspapers.

do you know him? Him Ashley I mean? I love him. He's probably the only current one of the bears side I feel connected to....saw his 2nd ever championship game back in 94.
Oh, and to all the doubters:

It has already been determined that CMJ is a few balls short of an over

Met him at a dinner once, and his lady. Looks very nice in a dinner jacket.
