Meanwhile at Casino Royale Adelaide

So is it, Nasser getting one in the eye from an Ambrose bouncer or Le Chiffre not sure whether to use his winnings from Casino Royale for an England night out?

Let's try and make it to lunch ....

It's a Sunday night, so I think getting to lunch (that's 2:30 in the morning) is gonna be difficult, my stomach feels extremely confused by all this .... Tea at 4:00am? Insomniacs might not mind, but Monday mornings are bad enough without inflicting more .... but it's all in a good cause. Anyway England have resumed against the Ausy batsman - 319 for 5 in reply. Lets get Gilchrist out and I can get a good night's sleep.

Our first wicket.... Hoggard does it

Time for that.. er apparently once great batsman Hayden ... to depart for another measley score.. So 35 for 2... it's going to be a great evening... even Michael has been bearable...

We have lift off!!

Just like a Pieto slog into the stands, we have gone into the stratosphere and connected to the world of satellitte / cable / multiple channel whatever else you might want to call it... And to match the occasion England are on top. Two days played and England - 551 for 6 dec. - Australia 28 for 1. But Adelaide is a good batting strip and after the previous bowling performance, we are going to have to excel. But enough of Sky's bureaucracy and Radio 4 commentary, we now have Mike Atherton's wisdom and ad breaks every over, every wicket, and every four or any other possible moment. You've gotta sell out to get anywhere in this world. It's over to you Michael.....
