Ready for The Ashes?

[callmemadam]

Once upon a time, not so very long ago, when Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook opened the batting for England, I didn’t listen to TMS with my heart in my mouth, waiting for one of them to get himself out in some daft way. How things have changed. I’ll be a bag of nerves when we start batting and much happier when we’re bowling. Joe Root says he’s not worried about England’s batting. He should be. Still, Edgbaston is a great ground for England, rowdy and passionate, so let’s be optimistic. Roll on 11am tomorrow!

Ho! Came in from the garden later than I meant to be and they were already off. Now Warner is out!
I love the noise at Edgbaston. We need noisy support, not quiet applause, like at Lord's.

Another wicket before lunch might be useful. Australia are clawing their way back.
