I bloody hate BSkyB

Up for all 5 nights - getting paid for 4 of them

Come on England!

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Lizzy, England, and Saint George!'

Stay up to watch the first hour of the cricket, or get up early and watch the last hour in the morning? help.

I wish i could, i have just had a stage 1 sickness interview at work lol.

I`d watch the first hour if I was you

I saved 5 days holiday for this series btw

Sod 'em - swallow some raw sewage and vomit all over their paperwork

i only work between 10-4 this week, so i stay up quite late anyway.

Get in so looking forward to this. anyone else excited

yup, so buzzed!

1 hour to the business to begin. come on ENGLANDDDDD

I`v got no fingernails left, Silky..

I cant bloody wait. Never been so confident of winning a series in Australia. Come on England

You can't beat watching test cricket at night and falling asleep on the couch.

Nothing like test cricket I must admit. Sick of all thia pointless odi nonsense

Evening gentleman, so we're back again, The Gabba will be a test for us, I think here, Perth and Adelaide will decide this test,

Happy with a more settled side, Australia are a decent side. Siddle and Harris both dangerous

Less than an hour to go and we can all start bloody moaning.

Holy crap that sky promo

Just a reminder: Australia have won every home Test they've played this calendar year. Massive hurdle for England to overcome, but i think we will do it.

1?
