Yeah except in a million degree heat. That much sweat can scar a man for life.

Yes a favourable toss can influence the result especially if you can predict how far into the session balls are going to start swinging.

I would say that any Anglophobia amongst ex-colonials is (as Mockney?s pictures illustrate) strictly to do with the striped blazers, ties, hats and flannel trousers we were forced to wear for 12 years of our school going lives.

Good. Let?s hope we have a game on here. Perhaps Ted can take some advice from that wicket. When a big man delivers it fuller he gets results.

I think there is one in the very parade of shops in Grove Vale that is being discussed on another thread.

Conspiracy theories, are they? Are they really?

I seriously don?t believe that there are still people who think Elvis is dead. Or indeed that he can ever die.

Is he waiting for a tube?

I think you should keep discussions regarding your lack to penetration strictly between you and your physician. Perhaps he can prescribe an ointment or something.

I'm moving to Namibia.

I like the way they try to somehow link knife murders between teenage gangs in inner London and Friday night binge drinking on by 20 and 30 somethings on the high streets of provincial towns.

Bloody hell!

I don?t mean to be too controversial but this map significantly negates the guest in our house argument.

Nestle? Wimpy? McD's? Proper China? China? Whatever do you mean?

It doesn?t look like rain will affect play today but it is going to be very humid (all this assuming that the BBC?s weather site is accurate) so the ball may get some movement in the air. Edgbaston favours traditional swing and seam bowlers so Sidebob and Anderson should do well and may bring England back into the game. If memory serves this is also where Freddy had that golden game in 2005. Anyway all that is assuming that you have a team that can match SA which you don?t so you?re going to lose.

Tina, I think the in the general public opinion during the 80s and 90s in most countries in the world (except Britain I?m assuming) was that the British military occupation in N Ireland was overly aggressive and oppressive. Well that is at least the way it was reported and the impression I got growing up in SA and I have heard similar sentiments from my American and Australian cousins.

Ah you see, what we have there is what is known as a ?difference of opinion?* or as I like to refer to it, ?someone else being wrong.? *Commonplace where music is concerned.

Here're a couple, both better than the originals Dinosaur jr - just like heaven Lagwagon - Brown eyed girl

170 odd for 6 by tea on the first day. Don't worry chaps it may rain.

Don?t look at me mate. My people have enough of our own unpleasant carbuncles on our national persona to deal with.

Quack quack quackity quack.... of the golden variety.

Help! I?ve lost my sledging mojo. Not that it was ever all that mo to the jo anyway but I can?t even seem to come up with an inappropriate quip about England having it?s Sidebottom back in working order.

Although from reading the press it seems that the island?s murder rate has more than doubled over the last 5 years. Which I?m sure is of no small concern for the people who live there. Knowing precisely nothing about political or social affairs on Antigua I can?t comment any further.

Which, lime and soda, the Vale or ?2.50?
