Dear oh dear. Hopefully the match lasts until dinner. I want my ribs at the pub.

Yeah, I'm hoping I have something good to watch when I get home from work.

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

to be fair, the australians also bat like complete spacs against good bowling too, so it may end up close like last game between the two

Yeah this is what worries me, we could still get a very close game.
