Epic in its epicosity. Almost unendurable. Listened to it all whilst sipping wine at this rather lovely French villa. I'm feeling particularly insufferable today.

I'm seriously considering trying to get tickets for the Adelaide test. I think more than anything, this test has really engaged the fringe cricket fans such as myself.

Sounds good to me, but that posh git Huxley has sold out to the frogs. Drinking wine instead of good Yorkshire beer is the give away.
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.

This last Test starting on a Wednesday has thrown me all out of equilibrium. It's the Mexico thing all over again.

Keeps recurring. The stinging is the worst. And the itching actually, the weeping pustules are no picnic.

England are slowly grinding out an unchallengeable total. Australia are going to have to cling on to wickets for two days on a crumbling pitch. Good luck with that. :tea:
