Sometimes it seems like we’re not experiencing real cricket being beamed back to us from down under, what we are seeing/hearing is some kind of scam, we are actually watching the same match over and over again. No that’s wrong, there are actually two matches, one in which England bat first and the other when we bowl. But in both versions of this game we are soundly thrashed while Australia crows unbearably.
In Adelaide we had the bowl first version and the actors
stuck to the script perfectly. The
bowlers do their jobs well but are let down by piss poor fielding. As the innings stretches on and on everything
goes to shit and the ball is smashed to all parts. England bat, a couple of quick wickets but then
consolidation of sorts for a session or two before the inevitable
collapse. Australia extend their already
massive lead and rub our noses in it.
Two days to go, heavy defeat beckons, the only question is day four or day five?
It isn’t as painful as it once was, experience has made me
numb. Predictable isn’t the word, we
know what’s going to happen, it’s always the bloody same.
