I don't like cricket... I love it!
Planned to watch the whole 2nd test live after deferring a load of work, and right on queue my Sky box packs up. Probably a good job... would have got quite upset at the mother of all batting collapses in the 2nd innings.
It was a good days play, but like PC says. We need to bat all day.

I think I spoke to soon and got a bit over-excited yesterday, normal service has been resumed

Ain't over yet, still a full 3 days play left, even if they bat all day tomorrow, we'll have 2 days of batting!! Me thinks they'll be a result, just hope it goes our way, and we could do with taking a few wickets before today finishes!!

Lost, without ever putting up a fight!
Actually it's a rather funny story.Still.... qué?
(don't bother on trying to explain)
Some bowlers run up from a long way away and bowl very fast at the batsmen. Others bowl slowly and spin the ball to make it hard to hit.
The first gentleman in the picture, Ashley Giles, performed well a couple of years ago and he was labeled the "King of Spin". A local gift shop got some mugs printed up but got it wrong and they instead read "King of Spain".

That story always makes me laugh so much
