The Teddington Arms are being very helpful and recording the matches overnight and then playing them from 12 noon the following day.

I can see I'll be spending some time down there...

I will be staying up all night to watch it, I think skys coverage is brilliant apart from charles corville wish they get shot of him. I will be sleeping from 3pm and getting up at 12am, i am lucky in a way as i cant work as i am disabled and only reason I have sky sports is cos of the best cricket coverage I have seen over 29 years of watching it!!!

Actually "soccer" isn't an American or Ozzie word. It is comes from Association Football as in the FA Cup. It is only quite recently people have thought it to be foreign.

During a previous Ashes Tour 'down-under', a man was making love to his wife in the middle of the night. She suddenly said "What's that sticking out of your ear?" He replied "Shut up - I'm listening to the test match!"

There's devotion to the game.

How long did you last Jez? Were there many in?

I watched the first session at my mates and then an hour on the radio. I was driven to bed more by Henry Blofeld than our iffy bowling.

Remain optimistic for tonight though.

I know this is, like, completely obvious. But as someone who has been following cricket on the radio + highlights all summer, how superior it is to see the game unfold. Alright, it wasn't a great contest, but it was a real treat to actually see it! I await with impatience for the bbc to get the live rights of home tests back. Don't let me down bbc.
