We haven't got the draw yet, there's always the potential for a good old fashioned English collapse. We need to stay in bat until lunch. I've just had a four hour power-nap so I can stay up and listen to the match on the radio. Might as well play some poker at the same time.

I'm pretty sure most Kiwis are supporting England, just like we support whoever plays France, even if it's USA. I can't afford to travel half the planet just to see some guys twat a ball with a stick, but I might well go the to the next Ashes test at Edgbaston, just a few miles from my family home. Only 2 and a half years to wait. Have a great time Silu, here's hoping you see some English centuries.
