i have a 4 day week off school, convenient! Gunna try and do an all nighter! Trying to become nocturnal over the next few days.

The bit i hate is waiting around till 2pm for it to start

Thats why i'm going to try to sleep before it starts, I get the feeling I might not be getting up on time tomorrow though

[Liam-SCCC]

tried that last night and ended up missing the first hour and 20 minutes! my alarm didn't go off

[Jeet]

Tried to stay awake last night, last 90mins. Then fell asleep and was still knackered that I fell asleep at work lol

[Liam-SCCC]

just remembered I have a 2 hour mock test driving lesson tomorrow at 10.30am! plan is go off for a sleep now, wake up at 11.45.

- watch until lunch
- sleep
- Watch until tea
- sleep
- See what match situation is like
- if good, continue to watch until 7.30 and then sleep, waking up at 10am
- if bad then go to sleep and wake up at 9.30

oh the decisions!

[Canners]

I stayed up and watched it til 2 (lunch) and thought we were in a pretty good position, Pietersen and Cook i thought were going to go on and make big scores, how wrong was i.... couldnt believe the scorecard when i was up this morning, especially after everyone has slated siddle.......

I am back in on a night shift tonight, purely cos i thought if im staying up all night i might as well get paid for it, im just hoping my sling box is working..........

do you think Strauss made the right decision in batting first..... i didnt think twice about it as its pretty almost the done thing to bat first, but someone questioned it earlier and has now got me thinking??? what do u think guys

[pacman75cricket]

I think it was the right decision just needed better execution/ bit of luck to get through without losing early wickets.

[Canners]

yeah i agree, i dont think the ball was doing a great deal, and most of the batsman that got in got themselves out..... Trotts dismissal really surprised me

i dont think an England skipper will field first at the Gabba for a very long time after the amount of stick Nasser got

[Damo1583]

Great toss to loose!!!

[golders]

what amazes me is how something dramatic always seems to happen on the first day of An Ashes series- Strauss out 3rdball and Siddle with his hatrick- amazing stuff!
Pretty disappointing first innings total, it did a little yesterday, but thought England were too loose. i fear a rather large first innings lead for australia and we will be right up against it... 1/2 hours till day two!!

[Canners]

i fear a ton from Katich, and ponting notout at the close of play.......

time to get caffeined up
