Disappointment of no tickets

It's a long story but it ends with me basically not being able to go to the WACA today to see the 3rd Ashes test. I won't get into details but essentially the membership tickets that I thought were coming to me weren't....and this was only found out a few days ago!

Anyway after an exhausting morning of Christmas shopping (I hate it and I'm being stingy this year considering my financial situation) I'm finally sitting here in my living room and have just seen Symonds hit a four off his first ball after coming in for Clarke who was bowled and caught by Harmison.

We're in a bad situation at the moment and the fingers are crossed that Symonds can prove why he was selected to replace a retiring Martyn. If he can at least get us a century we might be in a better position that we are right now - 4/125.

The Barmy Army is in full swing....oh Hussey just drove for four, awesome!

Panesar is proving to be useful...and dangerous, he's bowling lovely line and length right now and Hussey looks a little unbalanced.

Symonds just nicked it to first slip, alllllmost tragedy there, very lucky, that's the over.

I'm sick and tired of this Samsung commercial! Dumb bitch can change the room around herself!

Anyway back to the WACA. Since lunch it's been 1/61, not great.

Great running between the wickets there to get the single, I wish they'd stop replaying that last catch. Symonds almost had his head taken off there, quite amusing. I'm probably the worlds least biggest Symonds fan.

Well bowled again, very nice.....for an Englishman.

Wanna Wanna Wanneroo Mazda....no let's fuckin not! Whoever wrote that jingle should be castrated with a rusty blade.

Panesar's back in, dangerous dangerous man. Lethal. If they'd brought him in last week the poms would have won at Adelaide.

Loooooooooooovely, nice boundary there by Hussey, you can tell that the poms are outnumbering us at the oval though because it was a little too quiet.

OUCH! I would have given that LBW, luckily the umpire didn't agree with me.

Another commercial break, maybe I can squeeze a coffee in here. Nope no time!

Oh shit Flintoff's in, here come some boundaries! :)

And I was right! First ball is a 4!

Maybe I should say that every time he bowls and over.

Lucky you didn't run just then mate, alllllmost out.

"Right off the meat of the bat" HE SAID IT, HE SAID IT! Lawry....quit your day job.

Anyway I'll leave you folks there because I'm getting tired of these second by second updates, I'll be back tonight with my thoughts on today's session.
