[little curly alan ball]

Day 1 ;

Convicts win toss and bat .

Watson , again , gets 57 , Katich 43 , and Punta a Captain's 77 , as Aussies look good . Though India's spinners kept at it , and took Clarke , 14 , and Hussey 34 , late on , to drag themselves back into it . North 43 , and Paine 8 , are unbeaten overnight as Swag Bags will look to hit the gas if they can get through the first hour .

Harbahjan took 2 , Ohja , Raina and Khan got a wicket each , as Australia close on , 285-5 .

Convicts in box seat , but still game on with the spinners .

Young B.O.G. tells me that it's not as strong in taste. I cant even stand putting it on his toast.

The yeast that they have used, is the yeast from Marstons Pedigree. The official beer of the team.

And they lost the walk marathon. Pwned everywhere. Gonna get my kidneys and liver on the ashes. Ponting is washed up.

England always get hyped up, then get battered all over the show. *See earth goblet

Is it 20-20 world Champions? More medals in the pool since when? Fastest cycling sprinter ever? Holders of the Ashes? And there is some Rugby on the Horizon.

Day 2 ; Convicts on a mission .

North grasps initiative , with 128 . Paine gets 59 , Hauritz and Hilfenhaus still there as Aus post 459-8 ( as I write ,..).
Thus , India will have to bat a LONG time , both innings to get out of this . Convicts lack of spinners may count against them late tomorra and onwards .

Ohja and Harbajhan got 3 each , as Swag Bags win day hands down .

Roll on Woollongabba ,...

 

[little curly alan ball]

473-9 as Punta tries to win this tomorra !!!

Hilf' swings the willow .
