Headingley is a town in the UK where the current 4th test of the Ashes cricket tournament is currently being played against Australia.

As usual, we're getting slaughtered, which is REALLY making my day considering I dropped a tenner on the Aussies to win.

Where do you get the "as usual" bit from? We're still one up in the Series with two to play, and it's only the First Day of the Test.

Very early days. There's still an awful lot of cricket to be played here, and if Harmison doesn't lose his mojo the Aussies will be sweating as the pitch dries out over the weekend.

102-9 as I write. Shocking collapse, but nowhere near the end of the world. Keep it stiff, lads, keep it stiff.




I meant one's upper lip, you scabby minded oiks!

102 all out. Oh dear

I remember worse.

I also remember worse by the Australians.

My money's still on a draw this weekend.

Who cares? My bet with the guy at work was on TODAY'S score.

Fixed the geography.

And you traitor, you.


The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

I wish I was there...

Even just to taunt a few over exhuberent antipodeans with the fact that it is England ahead in the series (so far).

A bad day for the team, but they can recover.

Cricket isn't that that sport where you fall asleep halfway through even before the first break?

Bite me. National pride is one thing, but profit is another!

As for the geography. I used to LIVE in Headingley, back in 1979. No way did we think we were a suburb of ANYwhere back then, thanks.

Bloody city dwellers!

No worse than Rod Marsh and Deniis Lillee betting a few quid at 500-1 on England winning back in 1981.

No matter what this day brings, Freddy Will save us in the manner of Beefy.... What he isn';t in the team ?

DooooOOOoooOOommMMM

Freddy can't come out to play, his mummy says he has a sore knee.

Funny thing is, *I* knew Freddy was out when I made the bet, the guy I bet with, didn't!
